THE REFLECTION GAME Chapter 31 ; The Ritual’s Reach
Back in the underworld, the group felt the shift immediately. A warm glow surrounded them, and the oppressive darkness seemed to retreat. Logan tightened his grip on his blade, feeling a newfound strength coursing through him. “What… what just happened?” Ryan asked, looking at the glowing book in Anna’s hands. Anna’s eyes widened. “It’s Grandma,” she whispered. “She’s helping us.” Logan nodded, a faint smile on his lips. “Then we have a chance. Let’s make it count.” Mia, however, stood in the distance, her body still under the creature’s control. Her glowing red eyes locked onto them with a predatory gleam. “You can’t save me,” she said, her voice a haunting echo. “You’ll die trying.” Anna clutched the book tightly, tears streaming down her face. “We’ll save you, Mia. I promise.” The creature let out a guttural growl, stepping forward with a malicious grin. “Then come. Let’s see how far your promises take you.” The underworld twisted and writhed as if alive, the oppressive sh

The silence was deafening. Logan and Ryan rushed to Mia’s side, their breaths ragged.“Mia?” Ryan asked softly, shaking her shoulder.Her eyes fluttered open, the crimson glow gone. She looked up at them, confusion and exhaustion in her gaze. “What… what happened?”Anna dropped the book, tears streaming down her face. “You’re back. You’re really back.”Mia’s expression crumpled, and she pulled Anna into a tight embrace. “I’m sorry,” she whispered. “I didn’t mean to…”“It wasn’t your fault,” Logan said firmly. “What matters is that you’re here now.”As they helped Mia to her feet, Anna picked up the book, its glow now faint. “We’re not done yet,” she said, her voice steady. “We still have to return the anchors.”The group exchanged determined glances. The path ahead was uncertain, but they knew one thing for sure: they would face it together.The AnchorsThe underworld seemed to ripple with unease as the group trudged forward, their steps heavy but resolute. The air was colder now, an

One by one, they returned to the temple, their faces pale but determined. The guardian nodded, its spectral form flickering. “You have faced your past and emerged stronger. The fourth anchor is yours.” Anna stepped forward, placing the glowing artifact into the guardian’s hands. The temple trembled as the anchor merged with the structure, its energy flowing into the book. “We’re getting closer,” Logan said, his voice steady. “But it’s not over yet,” Anna replied. --- The Fifth Anchor: The Beast Awaits As they exited the temple, the ground shook violently. A deafening roar echoed through the air, and a massive beast emerged from the shadows. Its eyes burned like molten lava, and its jagged teeth dripped with black ichor. “It’s not going to let us reach the next temple,” Logan said, drawing his blade. Ryan cursed under his breath. “Guess we’re doing this the hard way.” The beast charged, and the battle began. The ground cracked under the beast’s weight as it roared, shaking th

The group pressed on, their steps lighter now that the beast was gone. The path led them to a towering spire of obsidian, its surface etched with glowing runes. At the top, a faint light pulsed—the fifth anchor. Anna stepped forward, her voice filled with determination. “This is it. Once we return this anchor, we’ll be one step closer to ending this nightmare.” As they ascended the spire, the air grew colder, and the shadows seemed to watch them. But no creatures emerged to stop them. It was as if the underworld itself was holding its breath. At the summit, they found the fifth guardian—a shimmering figure cloaked in light. It extended its hand, and Anna placed the anchor into its palm. The light from the anchor spread across the spire, illuminating the darkness around them. “You have done well,” the guardian said, its voice echoing like a song. “The final test awaits. Return to the central temple and restore the anchors. Only then will you find the way home.” --- A New Threat

The Final Push Logan seized the moment, leaping toward the Keeper with his blade raised high. “This ends now!” he shouted, plunging the sword into its core. The Keeper let out a deafening scream, its form disintegrating into tendrils of darkness that dissipated into the air. The remaining shadow creatures vanished, and the oppressive atmosphere lifted. The group stood in silence, their breaths heavy. “Did we do it?” Ryan asked, his voice tinged with disbelief. Anna closed the book, its glow fading. “I think… we did.” --- Returning to the Guidance With the Keeper defeated, the path to the central temple was clear. The group moved cautiously, their exhaustion evident but their spirits high. As they approached the temple, the guidance spirits appeared, their forms radiant. “You have done well,” one said. “The anchors are restored, and the realm is balanced once more.” Anna stepped forward, holding the book. “Can we go home now?” The spirits nodded. “Place the book on the altar

The group reunited at the library a month later, drawn back to the place where it all began. They sat in silence, each lost in their own thoughts. “I keep dreaming about it,” Logan finally admitted. “The battles, the creatures… it feels so real.” Ryan nodded. “Me too. It’s like I’m still there.” Mia shivered. “Every time I look in a mirror, I feel like something’s watching me.” Anna took a deep breath. “Maybe we didn’t just imagine it. Maybe it was real, and we just… forgot somehow.” Evelyn’s words echoed in Anna’s mind. The underworld will always remember you. The others exchanged uneasy glances, their silence speaking volumes. Whatever had happened to them, it wasn’t over. And deep down, they all knew it. The library was quiet, its usual hum of activity reduced to the sound of pages turning in distant corners. Anna, Logan, Mia, and Ryan sat at their usual table, a heavy silence hanging between them. The shadows from the evening sun seemed to stretch unnaturally long,

The lights flickered, and Evelyn’s voice suddenly rang out behind them. “Step away from the shadows!”Anna turned, relief flooding her at the sight of her grandmother. “Grandma! What are you doing here?”“I had a feeling,” Evelyn said, her expression grave. “The bond you share with the underworld is still strong. It’s trying to pull you back.”Logan’s jaw tightened. “How do we stop it?”Evelyn reached into her bag, pulling out a small vial of shimmering liquid. “This is an elixir blessed by the spirits of the Seven Realms. It won’t sever the bond entirely, but it will weaken the connection long enough for us to act.”Ryan frowned. “Act how?”Evelyn hesitated, her gaze sweeping over the group. “We need to seal the reflection game permanently. If the book is gone, it means the curse has shifted… to you.”Anna’s stomach churned. “What does that mean?”“It means,” Evelyn said, “you are now the anchors. The underworld is tied to you, and it will keep trying to pull you back unless we break

The battle raged on, each blow taking its toll on the group. Despite their injuries, they pushed forward, inching closer to the glowing altar that stood in the distance. The beast guarding the altar roared with fury, its enormous claws swiping at them relentlessly, each strike carving deep grooves into the ashen ground. Logan gritted his teeth, his body screaming in protest with every movement. He lunged at the creature, slashing at its thick hide, but the blade barely left a scratch. “We’re not making a dent!” he shouted, frustration evident in his voice. Anna, clutching the vial tightly in her trembling hands, glanced toward the altar. “We have to distract it! I just need a few seconds to reach the altar!” Ryan, battered but determined, stepped forward. “I’ve got this.” He grabbed a broken spear lying on the ground and hurled it at the beast’s face. The spear struck its target, lodging just above the creature’s glowing red eye. The beast howled in pain, thrashing wildly. Its

THE REFLECTION GAME chapter 65 : The Obsidian Crescent
Deep in the mountains, hidden beneath layers of enchanted mist, stood the towering fortress of the Obsidian Crescent Academy. Unlike The Sanctum of Mirrors surroundings, the Obsidian Crescent exuded an air of menace. The dark stone walls were etched with glowing runes, and the grounds pulsed with chaotic energy. Inside the academy’s central hall, Selene, the formidable leader of the rival school, stood before a gathering of students. Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall over her sharp shoulders, and her piercing silver eyes held the room captive. “ The Sanctum of Mirrors they can stop us,” Selene said, her voice laced with confidence. “But they underestimate the power we wield.” The students roared in agreement, their loyalty to her unwavering. Among them were elite warriors, shadow manipulators, and spellcasters trained in the most dangerous forms of magic. Selene turned to her second-in-command, a tall boy named Damien with scars tracing his forearms. “How are the preparat
THE REFLECTION GAME chapter 64 : UNITED FRONT
The tension in the Sanctum of Mirrors was palpable as the students of the Reflection Academy gathered in the Great Hall. every group had come together , the students of Elementals, Shadow Weavers, Celestial Channellers, and the Arcanists all stood shoulder to shoulder, their faces a mixture of curiosity and caution. At the head of the hall stood Principal Katie, her presence commanding. Beside her was a glowing crystal orb, its light pulsing faintly. The artifact they had retrieved from the hidden chamber had sparked the urgency of this meeting. “Students,” Principal Katie began, her voice echoing through the vast space, “as you know, we are at a critical juncture. The balance of our world is threatened, and the choices we make in the coming days will determine the fate of not just this school but the magical realm as a whole.” Murmurs rippled through the crowd. Anna, standing with Logan, Mia, and Ryan, felt a wave of apprehension. She could see the same worry mirrored in the face
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
