THE REFLECTION GAME Chapter 11: Through the Looking Glass
Chapter 11: Through the Looking Glass Anna’s breath caught as she plunged into the mirror’s rippling surface. The sensation was disorienting—like falling through icy water, the air sucked from her lungs as a weightless pull dragged her deeper. She landed hard on something soft but solid. Gasping, she sat up and took in her surroundings. The ground beneath her hands was covered in shimmering silver grass, and towering trees with metallic bark stretched toward a kaleidoscopic sky. “Mia! Ryan!” Logan’s voice broke through the eerie silence as he tumbled through the portal behind Anna, rolling to his feet with practiced ease. He immediately scanned the area, his dagger drawn. Anna turned quickly to see Mia and Ryan lying sprawled a few feet away. Mia groaned as she pushed herself upright, her auburn hair tangled around her face. Ryan, always the quickest to recover, leapt to his feet and brushed off his jacket like they hadn’t just plunged into another dimension. “Where the hell are

The transition back through the mirror was jarring, as if they’d been ripped through a whirlwind. Anna stumbled, her legs shaky as she emerged into the familiar surroundings of the library. The golden glow of the lamps and the towering shelves of books felt both comforting and unsettling after the surreal silver forest. Mia nearly collapsed beside her, clutching her satchel tightly to her chest. Ryan landed with a grunt, brushing himself off, while Logan was the last to step through, his dagger still gripped in his hand. “We made it,” Anna breathed, her voice shaky with relief. “Barely,” Ryan muttered, looking over his shoulder as if expecting the shadowy creatures to follow. Logan scanned the room, his sharp gaze darting to every corner. “Something’s wrong.” Anna frowned. “What do you mean?” “This isn’t where we left,” Logan said, his voice low and tense. Mia straightened, glancing around the library. The room was eerily quiet, the air thick with an unsettling stillness. Th

The library had returned to an uneasy stillness, but the group knew better than to relax. The once-chaotic atmosphere had dimmed to a calm, almost oppressive quiet, and the repaired mirror loomed behind them like a silent sentinel. Anna leaned against a bookshelf, her chest heaving as she tried to process what had just happened. “Who could even want to destroy a place like this?” Logan’s eyes narrowed as he scanned the room, his dagger still in hand. “Someone powerful. Someone who knows what this realm is capable of.” Mia, still clutching her satchel, frowned. “But why? What’s the point of collapsing the Realm of Reflections?” “It’s not just about collapsing it,” Logan said, his tone heavy with unspoken worry. “If the mirrors break, the balance between worlds collapses too. That would create chaos across all dimensions, including ours.” Ryan whistled low, running a hand through his hair. “So, we’re not just fighting for our lives—we’re fighting to keep the world from f
Last Updated : 2024-12-09THE REFLECTION GAME Chapter 14: The Heart of Reflections
Anna’s breath came in shallow gasps as the light slowly dimmed, revealing their surroundings. They stood in a vast, circular chamber unlike anything she had seen before. The Heart of Reflections was a masterpiece of shimmering beauty and menacing energyTowering mirrors lined the walls, each glowing faintly and displaying fragments of countless worlds. The floor beneath their feet sparkled like polished obsidian, etched with glowing runes that pulsed softly, as if alive. But the most striking feature was the massive mirror at the center of the room. It was the largest they had encountered, its surface impossibly smooth and radiating an ominous golden light. The air around it crackled with energy, and Anna could feel its pull, like gravity drawing her closer. “This is it,” Logan said, his voice reverent yet wary. “The core of the Realm of Reflections.” Mia adjusted her satchel, her gaze darting to the surrounding mirrors. “It’s beautiful. But... it feels wrong.” Ryan, still

Anna’s heart pounded as she watched. Her gaze shifted to the central mirror, which continued to pulse ominously, cracks forming along its edges. Whatever the figure had planned, it was already destabilizing the Heart of Reflections. "Anna!" Mia’s voice snapped her out of her thoughts. "We need to stabilize the mirror again! Do you remember the spell?" Anna hesitated, her mind racing. The symbols she’d activated earlier came back to her, glowing faintly in her memory. "I think I can do it, but I need time!" Ryan gritted his teeth, swinging his weapon at an approaching shadow creature. "We’ll buy you some. Just hurry!" Mia threw a vial at another creature, the glass shattering and releasing a burst of light that made the creature recoil. "Start the spell! I’ll cover you." Anna nodded, running toward the central mirror. The closer she got, the stronger the pull became, as if the mirror itself was reaching out to her. She placed her hands on its surface, the cold, slick texture

The shimmering calm of the Heart of Reflections didn’t last long. As Anna and the group regrouped, an eerie vibration coursed through the chamber, reverberating off the mirrored walls. The air grew cold, and the light from the central mirror dimmed, its glow turning into a murky, unsettling hue. “What now?” Ryan groaned, still leaning on Mia for support. Logan tensed, drawing his dagger once again. “Something’s coming. Get ready.” Before anyone could respond, the mirrors lining the walls began to ripple like disturbed water. From within their depths emerged monstrous shapes—twisted figures with glowing eyes, their forms both solid and fluid, as if they were part shadow and part mirror. Anna froze, her pulse quickening. There were at least six of them, their hulking forms towering over the group. Each step they took sent vibrations through the floor, their guttural growls filling the chamber with menace. “What... what are those?” Mia whispered, her voice barely audible. Logan he
Last Updated : 2024-12-10THE REFLECTION GAME Chapter 17: The Trials of the Silver Forest
The Silver Forest was hauntingly quiet as the group ventured deeper into its glowing expanse. The trees hummed with energy, their silvery branches shifting as if alive. Shadows danced unpredictably on the mossy floor, and a growing unease settled over the group.Ryan tightened his grip on the makeshift club he carried. “This place feels... wrong. Like it’s watching us.”“It probably is,” Logan replied, his voice low as his eyes scanned the area. His dagger gleamed faintly in the silvery light. “The guardians said this would be a test. Stay sharp.”Anna walked slightly ahead, her senses on high alert. The air around her seemed heavier with each step, the melodic hum of the forest turning into an unsettling whisper. She glanced at Mia, who clutched her satchel like a lifeline, her face pale but resolute.The path narrowed abruptly, forcing them to walk in single file. The shimmering light of the forest dimmed as they pressed on, the trees closing in tightly.“Do you feel that?” Mia aske

One by one, the group stumbled into a clearing where the anchor hovered—a glowing orb of silver light on a pedestal.“You guys okay?” Logan asked, his voice strained.Ryan held up his crystal. “I fought a glowing wolf. What do you think?”Mia looked pale but determined. “I faced... myself. Let’s just say it wasn’t pleasant.”Anna stepped toward the anchor, her hand trembling. As she touched it, the orb pulsed with energy, and a shockwave rippled through the clearing.The forest grew still, and the air thickened . ------The air around the group thickened as the anchor’s silver light pulsed in the heart of the clearing. The moment Anna touched it, the ground beneath them trembled violently, sending loose rocks tumbling and forcing everyone to steady themselves.“Why does everything we touch try to kill us?” Ryan groaned, gripping his glowing crystal like a lifeline.Before anyone could respond, the forest erupted into chaos. Trees twisted unnaturally, their silver leaves trembling as

THE REFLECTION GAME Chapter 63 : A New Mission
--- A Narrow Victory They regrouped in the woods behind the school, their breaths coming in ragged gasps. “That was insane,” Mia said, collapsing against a tree. “What if he comes after us?” “He will,” Anna said, holding up the journal. “But now we have something to fight back with. This journal—look at it.” She opened the journal, revealing sketches of ancient runes and notes about the Reflection Game. At the center was a detailed map of the Sanctum, with markings that seemed to indicate hidden passageways and artifacts. Logan frowned. “He’s been tracking the game’s influence here. And these markings... they’re connected to the anchors. He’s been trying to locate them.” Mia’s eyes widened. “Why would he do that? Isn’t the game over?” Ryan shook his head. “It’s never been over. It’s just... dormant. He must be trying to reactivate it—or use its power for something.” Anna’s stomach churned. “We need to take this to Principal Katie. She has to know what’s going on.” --- A Sec
THE REFLECTION GAME chapter : 62 Unwitting Players
The next morning, the students of Sanctum of Mirrors returned to their usual routines, oblivious to the danger lurking among them.Anna and her friends gathered in the dining hall, where the chatter of students echoed against the enchanted ceilings. The room was abuzz with excitement about the upcoming inter-school competition with Obsidian Crescent—a rivalry steeped in both magic and mistrust.Logan jabbed his fork into his scrambled eggs. “I don’t trust this competition. It feels... off.”Mia rolled her eyes. “You don’t trust anything. Maybe it’s just a way for the schools to show off their skills.”Ryan smirked. “Or maybe they’re just trying to spy on us, like we’d do the same if we had the chance.”Anna, however, was lost in thought, her mind lingering on the book they’d found and the secrets it revealed about the Reflection Game. “What if there’s more to this than just rivalry?” she murmured.Logan raised an eyebrow. “You mean, like another layer to the game?”Anna nodded. “Or ma
THE REFLECTION GAME Chapter 61 : A Betrayal Within
The tension in Sanctum of Mirrors was thick as the senior staff of the school gathered in the Principal’s Chamber. The grand circular room, illuminated by enchanted chandeliers, exuded an air of authority. At the center stood Principal Katie, a tall, composed woman with piercing green eyes that seemed to see through souls. She folded her hands behind her back, waiting for silence. To her left sat Headmaster Ewan, a stern man known for his mastery of elemental magic. Next to him was Headmistress Liora, who specialized in dreamscapes and illusions. Around the table were the other senior teachers: Professor Armand of combat training, Professor Evelynn of spell theory, and Professor Helia, the youngest, who oversaw magical artifacts and their histories. “Thank you all for coming on such short notice,” Katie began, her voice steady yet firm. “I’ve called this meeting because of recent... disturbances within the school.” Liora raised an eyebrow. “Are you referring to the Crescent studen
THE REFLECTION GAME chapter 60 : The Rivalry
The peaceful days at the Sanctum of Mirrors were suddenly disrupted when Principal Katie called for an urgent assembly in the grand hall. The students, buzzing with curiosity, quickly gathered in the enormous, echoing space. Anna, Logan, Mia, Ryan, and Zara sat together near the middle, their expressions a mix of intrigue and concern. Katie stood on the elevated stage, his silver robes shimmering under the enchanted chandeliers. “Students,” she began, her voice steady but grave, “you are aware of the sacred purpose of this institution—to train and protect young souls blessed with supernatural abilities. However, it has come to my attention that another school, The Obsidian Crescent, is working against us.” The room erupted into murmurs. The Obsidian Crescent was infamous for its dark practices and competitive rivalry with the Sanctum. Unlike the Sanctum, which trained students to balance power with responsibility, the Crescent encouraged mastery of forbidden arts and ruthless ambit
THE REFLECTION GAME chapter : 59 The Principal’s Summons
When midterm break ended, the Sanctum of Mirrors was abuzz with activity as students returned. Anna and her friends walked through the grand gates of the school, their eyes scanning the familiar stone walls and towering spires. Despite the normalcy, the glowing marks on their wrists served as a constant reminder of the Reflection Game’s lingering presence. The hallways were alive with chatter about the break. Students compared spell techniques they’d practiced at home, shared stories of family adventures, and exchanged enchanted trinkets gifted by relatives. But for Anna and her friends, their break had been far from ordinary. --- The Principal’s Summons The next morning, as the students gathered for breakfast in the grand dining hall, an enchanted parchment appeared in front of Anna. The glowing script read: “Anna Nilsen, report to the principal’s office immediately.” Her friends exchanged worried glances. “Why would he summon you?” Logan asked, his brow furrowed. Ann
THE REFLECTION GAME Chapter : 58 The Origins of the Reflection Game
Back at Sanctum of Mirrors, the five friends sat huddled in the library, pouring over every book, scroll, and fragment they could find about the Reflection Game. After their harrowing experience at Cravenwood Manor, they needed answers—answers about where the game had come from and why it had chosen them. Zara flipped through a brittle, ancient manuscript titled The Forgotten Mirrors. “Listen to this,” she said, her voice tinged with urgency. “‘The Reflection Game was born in the Age of Shadows, forged by the council of the Seven Immortals as a test for the worthy and a trap for the greedy.’” Anna leaned closer, her eyes scanning the page. “It says here that the game wasn’t just a test—it was a safeguard. A way to protect powerful relics and knowledge from falling into the wrong hands.” “Protect?” Mia asked, her brow furrowed. “It nearly killed us.” Ryan chimed in, “It probably wasn’t meant for random people like us. The Immortals must’ve created it for their descendants or chose
THE REFLECTION GAME Chapter : 57 THE REVELATION
That evening, as the students gathered in the manor’s grand hall for a brief reprieve, whispers filled the room. Stories of those who didn’t return from the final trial circulated, and a heavy tension blanketed the air. Logan, Anna, Ryan, Mia, and Zara sat together at a corner table, their glowing orb resting between them. “Why does Kael look so smug?” Mia muttered, nodding toward the headmaster, who stood at the front of the hall with his hands clasped behind his back. “Because he knows something we don’t,” Zara said, her voice tinged with bitterness. Anna glanced around the room, noticing how other students clutched their retrieved objects with unease. The seniors, especially Lyra, seemed too calm—like they knew more than they let on. “Why do I feel like we’re playing right into their hands?” Logan whispered. Before anyone could respond, Kael stepped forward, his booming voice silencing the room. “Congratulations to all who survived the maze,” he began. “Your efforts have pr
THE REFLECTION GAME CHAPTER : 56 the second night
The second night at Cravenwood Manor was unlike anything they had experienced before. The students barely managed to sleep, as the house seemed to come alive. Whispers echoed through the halls, doors creaked open and shut on their own, and shadows moved where there should have been none. Anna tossed and turned in her bed, unable to shake the feeling that she was being watched. She sat up and looked around the room. Logan was asleep on the floor near the door, his arm draped over his head. Ryan was snoring softly in the corner, while Mia hugged her pillow tightly, her face twisted in discomfort. She decided to take a walk, hoping the fresh air would help clear her mind. As she slipped out of the room, she heard faint footsteps behind her. “Couldn’t sleep either?” Logan whispered, appearing by her side. Anna shook her head. “This place is... suffocating.” Logan nodded. “Yeah, I keep feeling like something’s going to jump out at us. Maybe I’m just paranoid.” They walked in silence
THE REFLECTION GAME chapter 55 : A Journey to the Old House
The announcement came the morning after their trials in the Hall of Mirrors. Headmistress Seraphine gathered the students in the Great Hall, her voice echoing through the high ceilings. “Today marks the start of a significant tradition for all students,” she began. “Each year, the chosen few are taken to Cravenwood Manor, a historic part of our school. There, you will spend three days testing your limits, bonding as a group, and learning the true essence of unity. Only the senior students have experienced this rite before. Prepare yourselves. The old house has… secrets.” Excitement mixed with unease as whispers spread through the hall. Logan leaned toward Anna. “Why do I feel like this is going to be worse than the Night of Revelations?” Anna rolled her eyes. “Because it probably is.” --- Arriving at Cravenwood Manor The bus ride to Cravenwood Manor was filled with chatter, though the group remained on edge. Mia kept glancing out the window, watching the dense forest grow thic
