The man suddenly moved. Thiago reacted immediately and the confrontation was brief. When it ended, both strangers were on the ground, alive but unable to continue. Thiago picked up the woman's device. It displayed the same underground map. But there was something different. Their device showed dozens of locations across the country. Thiago's screen showed only Langport. He stared at it. "So this isn't just here." He scrolled through the information. There were energy nodes beneath several major cities. Some were active, while others were dormant. A warning appeared beside them. NODE AWAKENING PROTOCOL: PENDING. Thiago looked at the unconscious strangers. "They've been monitoring these places." He opened another file. A list of names appeared. Most were unfamiliar. Then he saw one name he recognized. DAMIAN CROSS. Thiago's expression changed. Damian wasn't listed as an operative. He was listed under another category. EXTERNAL ACQUISITION CONTACT. Thiago stared at

The woman shook her head."You don't.""Why?""The first awakening is dangerous.""Everything about the apocalypse is dangerous.""This is different."She pointed toward the map."When the node opens, the energy doesn't simply remain underground.""What does it do?""It changes whatever is nearby."Thiago became still."How?""We don't know."The man answered."But every previous activation caused biological changes."Thiago's expression hardened."Mutations."The man nodded."That's what we call them."Thiago immediately understood.Mutated creatures.Crystal cores.The same things he remembered from his previous life.But those creatures were supposed to appear after the apocalypse.Not before.He looked at the countdown.07:18:22"How far does the effect spread?""At least five kilometers."Thiago's face changed.His villa was only a few kilometers away.He immediately turned toward the exit."I need to go."The man looked confused."Where?""My house.""You can't leave."Thiago lo

He drove the rest of the way.When he arrived at the villa, Bill and the remaining workers were standing outside.The ground trembled beneath their feet.Thiago looked toward the building.Nothing appeared damaged.But the ring was burning against his finger.ENERGY DENSITY: 17%.The number increased.19%.22%.Thiago looked toward the underground storage level.The walls had begun vibrating.He turned to Bill."Take everyone away from the house.""What about you?""I'm staying."Bill looked worried."Sir, whatever is happening—""I know."Thiago walked inside.The moment he crossed the entrance, the ring displayed another message.FIRST AWAKENING: 05:47:13Less than six hours remained.Thiago descended toward the underground level.The reinforced doors were shaking.He placed his hand against one.The vibration stopped.Thiago frowned.He removed his hand.The vibration returned.He touched it again.Silence."The ring is controlling it."He opened the door.The underground room was

Thiago froze. The older version of himself continued."Listen carefully."The room became completely silent."You cannot trust Continuum."Thiago's eyes narrowed."They will tell you they are saving humanity."The recording paused."They are not."A second image appeared.Marcus Hale.A much younger Marcus.Standing beside a machine.The older Thiago continued."They believe the world can be repaired by controlling who remembers."Thiago leaned closer."But they're wrong."The screen changed.A map appeared.Thousands of red points covered the world.Then they began disappearing.One after another.The older Thiago spoke again."The resets don't erase reality.""They accumulate it."Thiago's eyes widened."Every cycle leaves something behind."The screen displayed images of cities.Different versions of the same cities. But all occupying the same places.The older Thiago continued."And eventually, those worlds will collide."Thiago stared at the screen."That's the apocalypse."The r

The underground door closed behind Thiago.The alarms continued above him.He ignored them.His attention was fixed on the ring.CYCLE FOUR: UNSTABLE.PRIMARY ANCHOR: ACTIVE.He stared at the words."What does that mean?"The ring remained silent.Thiago continued deeper into the passage.He had been inside this underground section several times, but tonight it felt completely different.Every step seemed familiar.Not because he remembered walking there.Because some deeper part of him recognized it.He stopped beside a wall.His hand moved toward a section of stone without conscious thought.His fingers pressed against it.A hidden panel opened.Thiago froze.Behind it was a narrow compartment.Inside sat an old metal case.He stared at it."I knew that was there."The realization frightened him more than the discovery itself.He opened the case.Inside was a collection of photographs.The first showed the villa before it had ever been renovated.The second showed the underground ch

Selene stared at him. "And what happens to you?" "I don't know." "You might lose everything." "I know." "You might forget me." Thiago looked at her. "Then I'll find you again." Selene began crying. The vision shifted one final time. Thiago saw himself standing inside the same underground chamber. He was older. He was holding the black sphere. Selene was beside him. And another figure stood in the darkness. A child. Thiago stared. The child turned. It was Evren. But he wasn't a child. He was older. Much older. He looked directly at Thiago. And spoke. "You're too late." The vision ended. Thiago opened his eyes. He was back in the underground chamber. The black sphere was still in his hand. Mara stared at him. "What did you see?" Thiago didn't answer. He looked at her. "Evren." Mara's face changed. "You saw him?" "Older." Mara slowly nodded. "Then it's happening again." "What is?" "The cycles are overlapping."

Mara nodded. Thiago descended. The deeper he went, the colder it became. The walls were covered with symbols. Some were technological. Others looked ancient. At the bottom was a circular chamber. In the center stood a machine. Thiago stopped. He knew it. He had seen it before. Not in this life. In a memory. The Origin Device. But this one was different. It had been damaged. And inside its center was a crystal larger than a human heart. The crystal pulsed. PRIMARY NODE ENERGY: 74% Thiago approached slowly. Then he noticed something beside the machine. A chair. And beside the chair was a photograph. Thiago picked it up. His breathing stopped. It showed him. Selene. Behind them stood Marcus. Written beneath the photograph were four words. THE FINAL ANCHOR. Thiago turned the photograph over. There was a handwritten message. His own handwriting. "If you reach this point, don't destroy the node." Thiago stared at the words

Marcus rushed toward the machine and Thiago intercepted him.Their collision sent both of them backward.Marcus recovered quickly and struck toward Thiago.Thiago blocked the attack and forced him away. Neither spoke.The fight lasted only seconds. Marcus was faster than Thiago expected.But Thiago had something Marcus didn't. He remembered dying and fighting to survive through four different cycles.He remembered every mistake, every betrayal, and every moment he had trusted the wrong person.He refused to make another mistake.Marcus tried to reach the control panel, but Thiago stopped him.Marcus looked furious."You don't understand what you're doing!""I understand perfectly.""If you take control of the node, the other anchors will destabilize!""Then I'll stabilize them.""You can't!"Thiago looked at the ring."Watch me."He placed his palm against the machine.The crystal suddenly released a wave of energy.Thiago felt it enter his body.For a moment, he saw everything.

Marcus stared at her.Then he looked at Thiago."You see why she was dangerous."Thiago answered immediately."Because she refused to obey you."Marcus's expression darkened."Because she refused to understand necessity."Thiago looked at the image of Evren."Enough."The ring flashed.ANCHOR TRANSFER: 48%.The darkness shook.Fragments of different timelines began crashing into one another.Thiago saw himself drowning.Then standing in the villa.The memories came faster.His mind began to ache.Selene grabbed his shoulders."Don't look at them.""I have to.""No. The timelines are trying to overwrite you."Thiago looked at her."How do I stop it?""Remember who you are.""Who am I?"Selene smiled faintly."Thiago Moretti."The ring pulsed."Not Primary Anchor."Another pulse."Not the person who built the ring."Another."Not the man who died four times."She touched his chest."You."The memories slowed.The darkness became quiet.Thiago took a deep breath.The ring stabilized.MEM

Thiago stared at the message.MARCUS HALE.LOCATION: UNKNOWN.For several seconds, nobody spoke.Selene stepped closer."What does it mean?"Thiago shook his head."I don't know."Evren looked at the ring."Is it active again?""No.""Then how did it show that?"Thiago touched the screen.The message disappeared.The ring became completely ordinary.A simple piece of metal.No light.No symbols.No marketplace.No storage space.Nothing.Thiago looked at Selene."Do you remember everything?"She closed her eyes."Not everything.""What's missing?"She frowned."Marcus."Thiago's expression changed."What do you mean?""I remember him existing. I remember the Origin Project. I remember Continuum. But I can't remember what happened to him after the collapse."Evren looked frightened."I remember."Both of them turned toward him.Evren swallowed."I saw him.""Where?""Before everything went white."Thiago stepped closer."What did he do?"Evren looked toward the city."He walked away."
