Jace Caldwell’s scar burned as he dove through the portal, its red light searing his skin, spitting him into a sterile NexTech lab—white walls, humming machines, the air sharp with antiseptic and something foul, like meat left to rot.

Ethan—his brother, alive, chained to a steel table, red eyes flickering—screamed, his voice raw, human, not The Shroud’s. Lena Voss stood in the shadow city’s crumbling plaza, her eyes white, glowing, her voice ancient: “The Shroud’s in me now.”

  • The Riven Veil

    Jace Caldwell’s scar burned, a jagged pulse searing his chest as the pristine voidscape—shadow spires and bone, veined with Obsidian Hearts—quaked under a sky of swirling ash. The new core, a living machine unbranded by NexTech, thrummed like a heart on the edge of bursting, its surface writhing with tendrils. The copy-Aria stood before a new portal, eyes gold, scar blazing, clutching a white Obsidian Heart, its wild pulse thrumming like a star fracturing in darkness. Her voice, a warped echo of Aria’s, declared: “You’re the tear, Jace. The rip that ends it all.” The copy-Ethan stood nearby, eyes human, holding no Heart, voice raw: “Jace, I’m the truth.” Lena Voss, merged with her Shroud-possessed mirror-self, eyes flickering between human and white, stood rigid, her voice a haunting blend: “I’m… me.” Aria cowered behind a bone spire, her red eyes streaming, clutching a white Heart, its light cracking the ground like glass under strain. The air reeked of charred bone and something

  • The Fallen Veil

    Jace Caldwell’s scar burned, a jagged pulse searing his chest as the shattered Brooklyn—cracked brownstones webbed with neon veins—quaked under a sky of swirling ash.

The copy-Lena stood before a new portal, eyes silver, scar blazing, clutching a gold Obsidian Heart, its wild pulse thrumming like a star fracturing in darkness.
