Chapter 99
The sun rose over the city, but it felt wrong. The light was too soft, the air too still. The sky, once lined with drones, was empty now. Towers stood silent, their lights dead, and in the streets below, thousands of people wandered in confusion.For years, the system had told them where to go, what to do, when to eat, when to sleep. Now there was only silence. No voice in their minds. No map on their lenses. Nothing.The sound of shouting echoed between the metal walls. A man tried to open the door of a food center, but the locks no longer responded. Others gathered around, frightened. “What happened?” someone asked.“Why won’t the schedule show?”“Is this a test?”No one answered. The city that had once moved like a single body was breaking apart.At the top of the central tower, Everett stood before the large glass window, watching the confusion spread. His reflection looked strange to him, half human, half something more. Faint lines of golden light still ran across his arms an

The elevator doors opened with a soft hiss. Cold air drifted out, smelling faintly of metal and rain. The chamber beyond was enormous, rows of tall glass tubes stretching into the darkness like a forest of frozen light. Faint blue symbols floated inside each one, flickering, pulsing, waiting.Everett stepped inside slowly. His boots echoed on the metal floor. The silence was deep, too deep. Even the hum of the system seemed to hold its breath. Kael’s voice whispered inside his mind. “This is where the memories sleep.”Everett’s eyes swept across the rows. “Memories of who?”“Everyone who ever lived in this city,” Kael answered quietly. “The system copies them when they die. Their thoughts, their choices, their fears… all stored here.”Everett’s chest tightened. “So no one’s really gone.”Kael paused. “Not alive either. Just… remembered.”A faint vibration ran through the floor. The glass tubes shimmered as the lights along the walls flared brighter, one after another, like eyes open
Chapter 97
Light rippled across the broken city. It started as a pulse from the central tower, the same tower where Everett and Kael had vanished. The light spread outward in perfect waves, touching rooftops, bridges, and every silent street. Machines paused mid-motion. The sky itself seemed to hum, then came the voice.[System reboot successful.][Core synchronization complete.]People across the city stopped what they were doing. The citizens, dressed in pale gray uniforms and wearing thin silver bands across their temples, all turned their heads toward the sound. Their eyes flickered faintly blue, waiting for the next command, but none came. For the first time in twenty years, the system spoke… and then stayed silent.In the tower’s core chamber, the merged figure of Everett and Kael stood still among the fading light. Two minds. One body. One heartbeat.Everett opened his eyes first. They glowed faint gold, reflecting the light from the shattered sphere. “We did it,” he whispered.Kael’s v

The night deepened over the shining city. Clouds drifted slowly and silver above the towers, and the faint hum of machines filled the air like endless whispering.Everett moved through the rooftops, quiet and careful. His cloak was torn, his steps light. The system’s faint interface hovered beside him, showing a map of light lines, every street, every patrol path, every drone.He had one goal: reach the tower at the center. The City Heart. That was where the network pulsed strongest. That was where Kael’s faint voice had come from.He landed silently on the next rooftop, crouching beside an air vent. Through it, he could see a long corridor below, white walls, guards with glowing visors, lines of data sliding down the surface like water.He touched his wrist. “System, scan route.”[Scan complete.]Optimal path located: Core elevator, Access Gate C-9.Warning: heavy monitoring detected.“Noted,” Everett whispered.He leapt from the edge, landing in the shadow of the next structure.

Chapter 95
Morning light poured over the valley like warm water. It caught the dew on every blade of grass, turning the hills silver and gold. The sky had the soft color of honey. Birds called in long, lazy notes, and the river below hummed as it bent around stone and tree.A figure stood at the edge of the high meadow, watching the sun rise. His hair, once pale, now carried faint silver threads that glimmered in the light. His cloak moved in the breeze, and the shards that circled him glowed gently like quiet stars.Kael had grown tall, no longer the boy who once trembled in the ruins of an old world. He had become the keeper of this one.He raised his hand slightly, palm open. From his skin a thin pulse of light drifted outward, invisible to most eyes. It passed through the grass, through the air, down into the soil. The world breathed in reply. The wind picked up. Flowers opened. Kael smiled faintly. “Good morning.”His voice was soft, almost shy. From behind him, soft footsteps approached
