Chapter 1. The Day the Game Locked
Rain beat against the window like falling glass. Jayden Cross sat in front of his monitor, eyes half-open, the glow of the login screen reflecting in them.[WELCOME TO EDEN ONLINE, ENTER PARADISE.]He stared at the words for a moment, whispering, “Paradise, huh? Let’s see if you can fix my miserable life.”The small apartment behind him was silent except for the storm. His mother’s framed photo sat by the wall, she’d been in the hospital for weeks. Jayden clenched his jaw. “If I win this tournament… maybe I can finally pay for her surgery.”He slipped the VR headset over his head. “Eden Online,” he murmured. “Login: JayCross.”A soft tone answered: [Identity Verified. Welcome, Player.] Immediately, everything turned darnk, and then, light filled the whole space. Jayden opened his eyes to find himself standing in a bright green field under a glowing sky. Thousands of players appeared beside him, shouting and cheering, their avatars sparkling like new armor.A booming voice echoed th
Chapter 2. The Glitch Forest
Wind howled through the trees like voices whispering secrets. Jayden opened his eyes to darkness flickering green.Leaves glowed faintly, lines of code running across them like veins. The ground beneath him pulsed, half-solid, half-data. He pushed himself up, heart hammering. “Luna?”Silence. Only the rustle of digital leaves answering him.“System, scan area,” he commanded.A faint blue text appeared before his eyes: [Zone Two: Glitch Forest, Survival Rate: 22%. No allies detected within one kilometer.]He cursed softly. “She’s gone.”A faint laughter echoed through the trees. He spun around, sword raised. “Who’s there?”No one answered, then, a rustle. Something moved between the shadows.A boy stumbled out, skinny, wearing cracked glasses and a trembling expression. “D-don’t kill me!” he shouted, hands raised.Jayden blinked. “Kill you? I’m human!”The boy stared for a second, then lowered his arms slowly. “You’re… a player?”“Yeah.” Jayden exhaled. “Name’s Jayden Cross. You?”“E-El
Chapter 3. The City of Ghost Codes
A siren wailed in the distance, long, hollow, endless. Jayden fell to his knees as the blinding light faded. His surroundings flickered between static and reality.He was standing in the middle of a ruined city. The air shimmered like broken glass; skyscrapers were twisted into impossible angles, and every window reflected distorted faces that weren’t his.[Zone Three: The City of Ghost Codes, Survival Rate: 15%]Jayden’s voice cracked. “What is this place?”A faint echo answered, layered and ghostly. “Where the dead remember… and the living forget.”He spun around, sword drawn. “Who said that?”No one was there, only the shadow of a figure flickering in and out like corrupted data. Jayden’s pulse raced. “System, scan for lifeforms!”[Scanning…Detected: 37 residual data fragments. No living players nearby.]He clenched his jaw. “So it’s just me.”He started walking down a cracked street. The ground beneath his boots glowed faintly with strings of binary code. Every few steps, he pass
Chapter 4. The Mirror Tower
Rain of data fell from the broken sky, each drop a flash of red code that hissed when it hit the ground.Jayden stood amid the ruins, chest heaving, ash and pixel-light clinging to his clothes. “Eli!” he shouted into the smoke. “Answer me!”No reply, only the hum of static where a friend should have been. He turned, jaw tight. The message burned into the cracked street still pulsed faintly: “Welcome to the Core Tower, Code Breaker.”His fists clenched. “Code Breaker… what does that even mean?” A soft chime answered from within his mind: [New Quest: Enter the Mirror Tower. Reward, Truth Fragment.]He stared at the words, anger and dread twisting together. “Truth, huh? Then you’d better be ready for mine.”The Tower rose in the distance, a black spire splitting the clouds. Every wall reflected fragments of the city, each reflection showing a different version of him, smiling, bleeding, dying.He stepped inside. The door sealed shut with a metallic sigh. “System,” he muttered, “scan for
Chapter 5. The Sky Isles
Wind screamed like a living thing. Jayden’s body spun through blinding clouds, lightning slicing across his vision. He crashed hard against cold marble, his breath leaving in one ragged gasp.[Zone Four : The Sky Isles, Survival Rate 12 %.]He rolled onto his side, coughing. The world around him shimmered gold and silver, a kingdom floating above endless clouds. Bridges of light connected hovering islands; broken statues watched with hollow eyes, but the beauty was wrong. Everything trembled, unstable, as if reality here forgot what shape it was meant to be. “System…” He forced himself up. “Locate Luna.”[Error 404: Target signal lost.]His hands tightened. “Lost doesn’t mean gone.”Thunder cracked. From the mist above, winged shapes descended, armored, faceless, glowing with holy fire. [Warning: Corrupted Angels Detected.]Jayden barely had time to breathe before one dove, sword of light raised. He blocked, but the impact hurled him backward through a pillar.The angel’s voice boom
Chapter 6. The Red Hunter’s Truth
The arena pulsed with crimson light, the sound of thunder echoing like a heartbeat. Jayden’s sword trembled in his hand. His voice cracked. “Luna?”The Red Hunter tilted her head, removing her mask fully. The face underneath was both familiar and wrong.Her eyes glowed red instead of violet, her smile carved too perfectly. “Don’t look at me like that,” she said coldly. “You wanted to find me, didn’t you? Well, here I am.”Jayden took a slow step forward. “You’re not her. You can’t be.”Her expression didn’t change. “Then why does your system recognize me?”A tone chimed in his ear. [Identity Confirmed: Luna Vale, Status: Corrupted Core System.]Jayden’s breath caught. “No… no, that’s impossible.”“It’s the truth.” Her voice softened for just a second. “When the Tower collapsed, I was rewritten. My memories, my feelings… they belong to him now.”“The Game Master,” Jayden whispered.Her gaze sharpened. “He gave me purpose, to protect the Core. And to erase you.”Jayden’s sword shook. “E
Chapter 7. The Origin
Jayden opened his eyes to a void that stretched forever, endless, empty, weightless. He gasped for breath but felt nothing. No air, no sound, no body. Just existence.[Final Zone: The Origin.][Survival Rate: Unknown.]His voice echoed in the distance. “System… where am I?”[At the center of Eden.][Here, everything begins, and ends.]He looked around. Shapes flickered faintly in the distance, fragments of the zones he had passed. Forest, City, Tower, Sky… all dissolving like sand.Jayden clenched his fists. “Luna… I followed your voice. Where are you?”No answer. Only the faint hum of power vibrating through the void, then, a second voice, low, calm, human. “You shouldn’t have come here.”Jayden turned sharply. A man stood ahead, tall, wearing a long white coat, his eyes a deep shade of violet. Familiar, painfully familiar. “Who are you?”The man smiled gently. “You’ve already met my shadow. My name is Dr. Vale.”Jayden froze. “Luna’s brother.”“Her creator,” Dr. Vale corrected. “And
Chapter 8. Rebirth
Beeping. Slow, rhythmic, piercing. Jayden gasped awake. Cold air burned his lungs. He flinched against the brightness above him, white ceiling lights, sterile walls, wires attached to his arms.He wasn’t in Eden. He was in a hospital. For a second he couldn’t breathe. Then the panic hit. “Luna!”Machines blared as he ripped the sensors from his chest. A nurse burst through the door. “Sir, you need to stay still!”“Where is she?” Jayden’s voice cracked. “The girl who came in with me!”The nurse froze, pity flashing across her face. “You were the only survivor brought from the pod chamber.”Jayden’s knees buckled. “No… she was right there. She.”[System reboot detected.]He froze. The voice was faint, like an echo behind his heartbeat. “Not now,” he whispered. “You’re supposed to be gone.”[Core connection incomplete. Searching for missing fragment.]Jayden’s eyes widened. “Luna?”The nurse frowned. “Sir?”He ignored her, yanking the IV from his arm. “I have to go.”“Security!” she shou
Chapter 9. Reset
Darkness pulsed with a heartbeat. The smell of burned circuits and antiseptic filled the air.Jayden stumbled to his feet, pain biting through every nerve. Sparks flickered from the machines around him. On the bed, Luna convulsed, her hair floating weightlessly in a halo of static.[Warning, System fragment integration at 80 %.]He gritted his teeth. “System, stop the merge!”[Command denied. Host override engaged.]“Luna!” He grabbed her shoulders. “You have to fight it! Don’t let him control you!”Her eyes snapped open, one violet, one glowing red. “Jayden… run. I can’t hold him.”A deeper voice overlapped hers. “You can’t erase a god, Prototype.”Jayden’s pulse raced. “Then I’ll kill one.”He pulled the small device from his chest, the Core Key Luna had given him, and pressed it to the main console.[Manual reset initiated. System wipe in 120 seconds.]The lights flickered red. Alarms wailed. “Stop this!” the system roared through Luna’s voice, her body twisting as the two consciou
Chapter 10. One Year After
Lightning flashed over the rebuilt city, bright enough to make every window pulse blue for half a heartbeat.Jayden jerked awake on the narrow couch in his workshop, sweat running down his neck. The monitors on the wall flickered with static.For one breath he thought it was a storm glitch. Then he heard it, her voice, soft and clear, carried through the speakers. “Jayden… can you hear me?”He froze. The wrench in his hand clattered to the floor. “Luna?”He stood, heart pounding, eyes on the nearest screen. “Say it again. Please.”Nothing, only the dull hum of power lines outside. He swallowed hard, whispering, “You promised you’d watch me. Guess I’m still talking to ghosts.”A second later, every monitor in the room blinked white: [System notice, Network anomaly detected.]Jayden’s pulse spiked. “Not again.”He grabbed his jacket, slammed the door open, and ran into the rain. The city stretched before him, half rebuilt, half ruins. Neon signs glowed between broken towers. People hur
