The forest was still humming.

After the ring whispered Catalyst, Nathan hadn’t slept. While Harper and Miko rested, he remained at the edge of the trees, staring into the dense woods like they might speak again. And maybe they did—just not with words.

At dawn, the trio had gathered near the cabin’s eastern deck. Miko had the calibration unit balanced on her palm, its silver plates shifting like living origami as it tuned to the Sovereign Ring's new harmonic signals.

Nathan rolled his shoulders, gaze sharp. “Let’s try projection again. This time… farther.”

Miko hesitated. “Nathan, what you’re asking… projecting that far without physical tether, it could break your mind if you're not fully grounded.”

“I won’t snap,” he said, lowering himself into a cross-legged position. “Just keep the buffer fields active.”

Harper placed her hand on his shoulder. “And if you start convulsing or speaking in Latin, we pull you out.”

“Deal.”

Miko activated the harmonic field. A thin web of sound, nearly i

    The ancient scrolls still echoed in Miko’s mind as she left the monastery’s archive chambers—words about legacies, betrayal, and a coming reckoning. But there was no time for reflection. A red-coded alert crackled to life on Nathan’s secure channel before she even stepped into the sunlit courtyard.“Block 47 in Sector Gray,” Harper’s voice said, sharp with urgency. “I’m closest. I’ll handle it.”Miko’s breath caught. Sector Gray wasn’t just hostile—it was Syndicate-occupied. And Harper was already en route.______The city block had been a civilian quarter once—clean streets, overhead rails, schoolyards now abandoned. But now it was a no-man’s land of blown transformers, smoking barricades, and flickering signage over collapsed buildings. Drones buzzed like carrion over broken towers. Somewhere, a child was screaming.Harper landed in silence, her black ops boots sliding over shattered glass as she dropped from the rooftop via a rusted fire ladder. She didn’t wait for backup. The SOS

    As Nathan exited the glass boardroom of Nexora Global, leaving Dresden in security custody, the tension in his chest barely loosened. He had secured one front, but the war ran far deeper than corrupted executives. Somewhere in the shadows, Marion Voss still moved the pieces… centuries ahead of them in knowledge, and one step closer to something larger.In the quiet sanctuary of the Eastern Temple, far from skyscrapers and shattered gala stages, another battle was unfolding. Not a battle of weapons, but of memory._______The monastery archives were built into the mountainside itself, which were sheltered from light, noise, and time. Here, the air was laced with incense and old ink, and silence hung thick as stone. Scrolls older than modern nations lined the carved alcoves. A place untouched by the outside world, except through legend.Miko sat cross-legged on the polished stone floor, surrounded by parchment and fragments of forgotten language. Her fingers were stained with dust. Sym

    The Rivergate Tower still smoldered beneath a gray dawn as Nathan stood with Harper atop the parking structure across from the plaza. Below them, news drones hovered in flocks, transmitting shaky footage of the shattered gala venue, now surrounded by fire crews, security teams, and hundreds of stunned civilians. What had been a tribute to Syndicate control was now a smoking symbol of its unraveling.Harper scrolled through the latest intel feeds on her datapad, her eyes hard. “The files hit the darknet an hour ago. Every Syndicate tie to Nexora has been exposed. Dresden’s shell companies, the signed black budgets, the neural override tests… everything.”Nathan didn’t look at the screen. His gaze stayed fixed on the tower. “And what about the board?”“Half of them forwarded the documents to their legal teams before they even opened the videos. The rest are calling emergency votes.”He nodded once. “Good. Then we end this now.”____Hours Later… at the Nexora HeadquartersThe elevator d

    The cryo-facility groaned as backup power surged. Nathan stood before the boy’s awakening pod, the Dominion ring humming with a strange synchrony, one that pulsed deep in the earth, deep in time itself. Miko held her breath, watching as the failsafe’s eyes flickered behind closed lids. Not yet awake, but close. Harper’s voice cracked over comms. “We don’t have time. The Syndicate’s hosting a gala tonight. Rivergate Tower. Ethan’s expected to announce some kind of 'new phase.' That’s our moment.” Nathan turned from the pod, jaw tight. “Then we don’t wait for the future to happen. We will break it tonight.” --- The Rivergate Tower gleamed like a blade in the night, its mirrored surface catching the floodlights of the Syndicate’s most ostentatious event of the year. Inside the atrium ballroom, the elite circled like vultures in designer suits, toasting conquest over glasses of diamond-filtered champagne. Ethan stood at the top of the marble staircase, posture perfect, smile practice

    Nathan sat motionless on the edge of the cot, fingers laced tightly as Harper paced the safehouse room. The aftershock of the dream battle with Volkov still rang through his skull like distant thunder.Each time he reached for his memories… those precise locations, hidden codenames, fragments of Syndicate strategy, they slipped through his fingers like smoke.But there were deeper truths they hadn’t yet lost.Miko stood near the far wall, her brow furrowed, breath shallow. She hadn’t spoken since Nathan awoke screaming. Her eyes were distant, clouded, locked in some invisible current of clairvoyant thought.Nathan finally rose and crossed to her side. “Miko?” he asked gently.She didn’t blink. “There’s a place. A cold place. Far below the surface. Machines… humming. Children’s voices, but muted, like echoes trapped in ice.”Nathan exchanged a glance with Harper, who had stopped mid-step.Miko’s voice dropped. “There’s a boy. Alone. Sleeping. Not… normal. He’s not just alive. He’s a fa

    Nathan’s boots echoed through the rain-slick alleys of Neo-Tokyo as he left the crumbling media tower behind, his breath steaming in the cold. Sirens wailed in the distance, but inside his mind, something deeper howled. The threads of memories still buzzed in his skull: names, crimes, locations… too many to hold at once. He pressed a hand to his temple, trying to focus, but a sudden tremor ran through his spine. Then darkness seized him. He fell, not in body, but in mind! Dragged down through a crack in reality itself, the Dominion ring on his hand blazing white before vanishing into a void. When he opened his eyes again, he stood in a battlefield of impossible geometry—floating ruins, shifting terrain, lightning flashing in a sky of fractured glass. His breath fogged in a cold that wasn’t real. He knew this place. The dreamscape. Volkov was waiting. The former Syndicate tactician stood at the far edge of a shattered bridge suspended in nothingness. His coat flapped in windles
