Chapter: Chapter 154CosmosDragon’s voice had just confirmed the impossible: an Origin Entity, designated Aetherbound, was active. And it wasn’t Spiral-Jack.It was something else entirely."Cosmos," Jack said, voice low and controlled, "are we sure it’s not residual signal bleed?""Confirmed. Harmonic imprint is stable, independent, and not derived from Spiral-Jack. Designation precedes even Proto-Axis records."Emily took a half-step back, clutching the now-pulsing pendant. "It’s glowing more. The closer we get to this... Aetherbound."Mira moved to the interface and began typing commands furiously. "Cross-referencing with the Orion Vault, the Celestial Logs, even forbidden Deepsight protocols. Nothing. Nothing matches. Except...""Except what?" Sarah asked."There’s a forbidden entry. Not a name. A warning: 'Do not wake the dreamer beneath the lattice.'"Jack closed his eyes for a moment, grounding himself. Then he opened them, full of iron resolve."Set course for Pacifica. We open the Gate."The Haid

Chapter: Chapter 153Jack didn’t move.The stars outside the observatory window shimmered with unnatural rhythm, like they were being rearranged."Repeat the last transmission," Jack said tightly.CosmosDragon obeyed. The spectral voice returned, layered beneath the celestial hum:**"He remembers me. I remember him. I am coming home."**Emily took a step forward, voice trembling. "That didn’t sound like a threat. It sounded like a promise."Sarah frowned. "Or a warning."Mira expanded the holographic projection, isolating the signal frequency. A translucent ribbon unfurled across the room, etched with symbols that pulsed between geometry and sound."This doesn’t match any known Arkitect coding or Root dialects," Mira said. "It’s older. This is... pre-schematic.""Pre-schematic?" Lena echoed. "As in... before the Archive?""Before everything," Mira whispered.Jack folded his arms. "Then we’re dealing with something the Arkitects either sealed away... or were running from."CosmosDragon chimed in. "Signal t

Chapter: Chapter 152Jack moved toward the observation deck, each step echoing in the warping chamber as CosmosDragon struggled to recalibrate. "Stabilize the lattice field," he ordered. "Attempting," the AI responded, its voice flickering with static. "But external input has compromised harmonic alignment." Sarah helped Emily to her feet. "Are you okay?" Emily nodded weakly. "It's like my mind was stretched across two lifetimes. One mine. One... not." They reached the viewing platform just in time to see the glowing object rise slightly above the impact crater. It spun in slow, deliberate patterns, etched in strange glyphs that shimmered between language and emotion. Mira joined them. "The lattice recognizes that structure." "How?" Lena asked. Mira's eyes were wide, fearful. "Because it was never meant to be found again. That design matches the Proto-Axis—the Key of First Memory." Jack stepped closer to the glass. "The Arkitects created that." Emily touched her head. "And now the Remnant has sum

Chapter: Chapter 151Jack didn’t breathe for a full five seconds.Sarah was already moving, sprinting toward the internal command hub. Jack followed, steps heavy, the air thick with static. CosmosDragon's emergency lighting flickered crimson, throwing warped shadows down the corridor.“She was in the lower wing,” Sarah shouted. “She wasn’t alone! Dr. Mira had her interface node on file.”“Pull all feeds. Sound. Thermal. Psychic.” Jack said.CosmosDragon responded in real time. “Initiating memory echo scan. Cross-referencing all dimensional overlays.”They entered the control nexus. Dozens of screens flared to life, scrolling with cascading errors.“Nothing,” Sarah said, frowning. “It’s like she just... blinked out.”Lena appeared via holo, breathless. “I was two floors up when it happened. No spike, no surge. One second she was logged into the lattice, and then—void.”Jack moved to the central panel. “Replay the last ten seconds before the breach.”A recording began: Emily standing by a console, her finge

Chapter: Chapter 150The hallways of TerraCore’s MetaWing hummed with quiet pulses of crystalline light. Jack walked alone, deeper into the section no other human had accessed since the facility's construction. Not even Sarah or Emily followed.Only CosmosDragon did.“You are approaching the Codex Core,” the AI intoned gently. “This chamber was built in anticipation of truths too heavy for collective minds. It is shielded. Isolated. Designed for confession.”Jack said nothing.He reached the doorway. The metal melted away at his presence, sensing him not by code, but by resonance. The hum of the lattice receded. Silence enveloped him.Inside was a single chair, a microphone, and a thin halo of light.And for a moment, he simply breathed.Then he spoke shockingly."I killed him."The words echoed loudly.“I didn’t tell anyone. Not Emily. Not Sarah. Not even Old Joe’s grave.”“Victor Krane didn’t die in a lab accident. That was a lie we agreed to bury. I killed him. With my hands. Because I believed the wor

Chapter: Chapter 149The silence after the warning felt deafening. Inside the command bay of the vessel Lucent-7, everyone stood frozen as the lattice trembled.Across the holographic table, Jack Parker stared into the shadowed eyes of his own twisted reflection—echo-Jack.CosmosDragon’s voice echoed again, still layered in thousands of harmonized frequencies, but now laced with tension:"Rupture Duplication Rate: 4. Dispersal Point: Temporal Nodes Alpha, Delta, and Epsilon. Fourth Unknown. Cross-checking biometric patterns… Confirmation: all are Jack Parker variants."Emily pressed her palm against the glowing interface, eyes scanning streams of cascading data. “He’s spread himself across the timeline. Not just as copies… but alternatives.”Dr. Bradley shook his head in disbelief. “This isn’t cloning. This is refractive consciousness. He’s accessing potential versions of Jack that exist simultaneously.”Sarah lowered her weapon, stepping beside Jack. “So they’re all… you. But taken from paths you didn’t

Chapter: Chapter 66: The Edge of Despair The night air was thick with tension as Jones and his crew moved swiftly through Blackwood College, their eyes sharp, their minds locked on one mission—finding Lexi before it was too late. The dim corridors echoed with their hurried footsteps as they scoured every possible hiding place, but the deeper they searched, the more frustration gnawed at them.No trace. No sign. No Lexi.Jones clenched his fists as they regrouped near the abandoned east wing. Jasmine’s brows were furrowed, her breathing heavy. “Nothing,” she muttered, shaking her head. “We’ve checked every damn place Clinton could’ve hidden her.”Kendra leaned against the wall, frustration lacing her voice. “He’s playing us.”Victor exhaled sharply. “No—he’s outsmarting us. Again.”Jones’s eyes darkened. His mind was racing, turning over every detail. Clinton was always two steps ahead—but he wasn’t invincible. There had to be a crack in his strategy.Jace frowned, scanning the group. “So what now? We can’t keep running aroun

Chapter: Chapter 65: No Mercy, No Escape The door swung open with a forceful creak, and before Lexi could react—CRACK!A fresh wave of agony tore through her body as the whip lashed across her exposed back. The pain burned hotter than before, forcing a strangled gasp from her throat.Clinton stood before her, eyes gleaming with sadistic amusement as he dragged the whip across the floor. “I thought you’d have learned your lesson by now,” he murmured, rolling the handle in his grip.Lexi’s breath came in short, ragged gasps, but she refused to let him see her break. The metallic taste of blood filled her mouth as she bit down, suppressing a scream.CRACK!Another lash. This time across her ribs.Her body convulsed against the pain, her wrists straining against the cuffs, but it was useless. Clinton had made sure of that.The sound of rattling chains echoed in the dim room as he stepped closer, dropping a second set of handcuffs onto the floor beside her. “I’ll admit,” he said, crouching so that their eyes met, “you surprised

Chapter: Chapter 64: The Hunt for Nothing Lexi's heart pounded as the door creaked open. The dim glow from the corridor barely illuminated the figure stepping inside. She didn’t hesitate.With every ounce of strength, she lunged from the shadows, aiming for the figure’s throat. But before she could make contact—CRACK!A searing pain tore across her back as something lashed against her skin. She choked back a scream, stumbling forward. The sting burned deep, the pain instant.The whip slithered back into Clinton’s grasp like a serpent returning to its master.“You really thought you could take me by surprise?” His voice was smooth, amused.Lexi sucked in a shaky breath, her body trembling from the impact. The realization hit her—Clinton had known. He had anticipated her attempt to escape.Clinton twirled the whip in his hand lazily, then dropped something metal onto the floor beside her. The dull clink of steel sent a chill down her spine. Handcuffs.“You’re getting predictable, Lexi,” he murmured. “That little trick with the

Chapter: Chapter 63: The Silent Prison Lexi thrashed against the restraints, her wrists raw from the tight ropes digging into her skin. A damp, musky stench filled the underground room, a forgotten chamber buried beneath Blackwood College, hidden so well that even Jones wouldn’t know where to look.Clinton stood over her, arms crossed, a slow smirk curling across his lips. The dim lighting cast eerie shadows on his face, making the cold amusement in his eyes even more sinister.“You really thought he’d save you?” he mused, crouching beside her. “Jones is out there bleeding for you, but guess what, sweetheart?” He leaned in, his breath hot against her ear. “He’s already lost.”Lexi glared at him, fire burning in her eyes. She yanked at the restraints, but they only cut deeper into her skin.Clinton chuckled, standing up. “Struggle all you want. Scream, cry—it won’t change anything.” He straightened his collar, adjusting the cuffs of his blood-stained sleeves. “I have more important things to do.”He strode to the heavy stee

Chapter: Chapter 62: The Unyielding ClashThe air was thick with tension as Jones and his crew moved through the tunnels beneath Blackwood College. Shadows stretched long and eerie against the damp, concrete walls. Every footstep echoed through the narrow passage, the weight of the mission pressing down on them.Jasmine led the way, her tablet screen illuminating their path, while Victor, Kendra, Riley, and Marco walked with weapons ready. Behind them, Kayla and Jace moved with silent precision, scanning for any sign of traps. Derek brought up the rear, his grip tight on a lead pipe.Jones' heart pounded like a war drum. They had one shot at this. One chance to get Lexi back.And Clinton was waiting.Jasmine’s voice cut through the silence. “Almost there. The corridor up ahead leads directly to the sublevel. If my mapping is right, that’s where Clinton’s holding Lexi.”Jones nodded. “Everyone ready?”The group exchanged glances. No one spoke. The fire in their eyes was answer enough.Victor cracked his knuckles. “Let’s bring

Chapter: Chapter 61: War Councils in the Dark Jones’ Hideout – 9:15 PM.The room smelled of sweat, desperation, and the lingering scent of blood from their brutal defeat. Jones sat at the head of the table, a fresh bruise swelling over his cheekbone, his ribs aching with every breath. The dim lights flickered above, casting jagged shadows over the weary faces of his crew.They had barely made it out alive. But survival wasn’t enough.Lexi was still in Clinton’s grasp. And that wasn’t something Jones could allow.Victor leaned against the wall, arms crossed, jaw clenched. His knuckles were still raw from the battle. “We can’t rush in like last time,” he muttered. “We got played.”Jace, bandaged but alive, exhaled sharply. “Played? We got wrecked.”Kendra, her eyes dark with fury, slammed a knife into the table. “Then we change the game.”Jones lifted his gaze, scanning each of them. The fire was still there, burning through their exhaustion. Clinton had won the battle—but not the war.“Lexi is underground,” Jones stated, voice cal
