Evryn didn’t run.Not because she wasn’t afraid—but because the fear sharpened her focus. As the Specters of the Null surged forward like corrupted shadows, her vision fractured, showing not just one path—but dozens. Timelines folding in on themselves. Variants of her own fate trying to assert dominance.The First—calm, otherworldly—lifted a hand, and a barrier of light split the chamber. The Specters crashed into it, snarling, each one a distorted version of reality’s failed attempts.“You’re seeing it now,” the First said, her voice steady. “The branching of the Void. The lives you never lived… and the lives you ended by becoming who you are.”Evryn turned to her, pulse pounding. “What are they?”“They are what happens when convergence is forced. When timelines are stitched together with lies and ambition.” She paused, then added softly, “They’re you. All the versions that died for this one to live.”That hit like a blade to the chest.A shiver ran down Evryn’s spine as one of the S

The silence in the chamber was deceptive.Evryn stood at the edge of the precipice—the glass floor beneath her feet humming with residual energy from the now-sealed Quantum Rift. Around her, the remains of the Labyrinth Core flickered, the last traces of Aurex's temporal manipulations dissolving into dust. The air was thick with questions, the kind that didn't have answers… yet.Kai’s voice echoed faintly through her comms, “Something’s not right. The signal—it’s changing.”She frowned. “Changing how?”“It’s no longer looping. It’s… responding.”Evryn turned sharply, her enhanced senses already scanning the space. She could feel it too. A vibration under her skin, not mechanical, but almost… sentient. A whisper of recognition.Suddenly, the structure around them dimmed to a haunting twilight. The walls pulsed. The room breathed.“Evryn,” a voice whispered. Not Kai’s. Not Aurex’s. Something older. Deeper.She pivoted, blaster drawn, but what she saw made her freeze. A figure stepped ou

Evryn's world shattered as the ground gave way beneath her, the very foundation of the rift crumbling like sand under a tidal wave. Her body plunged into darkness, the air thick with the scent of sulfur and despair. She couldn’t scream, couldn’t gasp—everything was silent except for the deafening rush of wind as her descent continued, endless and cold.Time seemed to stretch on, her limbs disjointed, her mind unable to grasp anything but the terrifying uncertainty of the fall. Was she falling into the depths of the rift? Or had it opened some kind of portal to another place—another world?Her thoughts swirled like the darkness around her, but one thing remained clear: the Beast was free now, and if she didn’t act quickly, everything—Kai, the Heart of the Rift, the very fabric of reality itself—would be consumed by it.With a violent jolt, Evryn's body hit the ground, hard. Pain shot up her spine, a burst of agony that stole her breath away. She lay there, unable to move, her entire bo

The creature’s roar reverberated through the rift, shaking the ground beneath Evryn’s feet. The air itself seemed to warp around her as the massive shadow grew larger, its wings spreading wide in a terrifying display of power. Every instinct within her screamed for her to run, to get as far away from this nightmare as possible, but her body refused to move. Fear gripped her, paralyzing her even as her mind raced to understand what she was witnessing.Elaia was watching the creature, a strange, knowing smile playing on her lips. “It’s coming,” she said softly, almost as if it were an inevitability she had long accepted. “The Beast of the Rift. It has been waiting for this moment, for the rift to reach its climax.”Evryn’s heart pounded in her chest, and she glanced down at Kai, still struggling to stand. His face was pale, his body trembling with the effort of staying conscious. Blood seeped from his wounds, but his eyes remained locked onto Evryn, a silent plea for her to act.“Evryn,

The ground trembled beneath their feet, the once-solid earth now fractured and crumbling as though the world itself was breaking apart. Evryn's heart thundered in her chest as she stared at the woman standing before her—the woman who resembled her so closely, yet whose presence exuded a dark, otherworldly power. The air crackled with energy, thick with an oppressive force that threatened to suffocate her."Kai..." Evryn’s voice was barely a whisper, a wave of panic crashing over her as she glanced toward him. He was still on the ground, breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling in shallow, labored breaths. Blood stained his shirt, and the gash across his torso seemed deep.But the creature—the abomination that had attacked them—was gone, hurled into the dark abyss by the figure’s power. Evryn’s gaze flickered back to the woman before her. Something inside her twisted at the sight of her, a deep, primal recognition gnawing at her mind. Who was this person? And why did she feel...

The moment Evryn’s consciousness returned, she was met with an overwhelming silence, the kind that reverberated deep in her bones. The familiar hum of the Nexus was gone, replaced by an eerie stillness that felt wrong. Her body was heavy, as though it had been torn apart and pieced back together. She could feel the faint pulse of energy coursing through her veins, but it was... distorted. Fractured. Something had changed.Her eyes fluttered open, but the world before her was a blur. The edges of her vision warped like a reflection in a broken mirror. The ground beneath her was soft—unnaturally so—and she found herself lying on a bed of something that resembled grass, though its color was a sickly gray.“What... happened?” she whispered, her voice hoarse.The last thing she remembered was the violent explosion, the sensation of being sucked into the rift, and then... darkness. Had she been transported somewhere else? Was this still the Nexus?She slowly pushed herself up, wincing as a
