The Archive of Stolen Souls
Clara looked at the sky through the broken ceiling.“We should rest first. You were injured during the fight, and Lucas took a heavy hit.”“We do not have time to waste.”“We also do not have time to collapse halfway there.”Ethan looked at her.She held his gaze.“You keep telling everyone to learn how to survive before they try to become stronger. You should follow your own advice.”For a moment, he almost argued. Then he looked at his status window.His health was stable, but his shoulder had begun to hurt again. The Ancient Core had strengthened his talent, yet it had also stirred something inside him that he could not fully understand.He needed to be careful.“Two hours,” he said. “We rest here, then leave.”Lucas nodded.“I will take the first watch.”Clara found a room away from the damaged energy conduits. They secured the entrance and checked the remaining supplies.Ethan sat against the wall with the Moonfall Bow across his knees.He tried to focus on his breathing.The vis
The Secret Behind the God Slayer’s Legacy
Ethan stood motionless.Clara did not speak.Lucas looked away.The room seemed smaller than before.Ryan had been dead. Ethan had seen it happen. The recording could have been made before his death, after it, or assembled from fragments of several different moments.It could have been genuine. It could have been a deliberate attempt to manipulate him.What it could not prove was that Ryan could be brought back.Ethan closed the file.“I am not going to chase a possibility just because I want it to be true.”Clara looked at him.“Ethan…”“I know what I saw. I know Ryan died. This recording does not change that.”“But if the Shadow Order has been preserving memories, there may be a way to learn what happened to him.”“Then we will find out what they did. We will not assume the result is the same as bringing him back.”Lucas nodded slowly.“That is reasonable.” Ethan returned to the file list.Another recording had been attached to Ryan’s report.Its label read:IDENTITY TRANSFER TEST. SU
Ryan Carter’s Forbidden Experiment
“I’m still standing,” he replied, though his voice was strained.Ethan fired at the guardian’s knee again. This time, the arrow struck a glowing line beneath the armor.The line flickered making the creature staggered.A message appeared.[Weak Point Detected. Energy Channel Disrupted.]Ethan understood.The guardian was not simply protected by its armor. Its strength came from the energy channels connected to the crystal in its chest. Every time it absorbed energy from the dead monsters, those channels repaired its damage.They needed to stop the energy flow before attacking the core.“Clara, can you find the source feeding the crystal?”She closed her eyes. A blue glow spread from her staff, passing through the courtyard and into the underground chamber.“There are three energy lines connected to it,” she said. “One runs beneath the eastern wall. Another passes through the floor. The third leads to the chamber behind it.”“Can you block them?” Not all at once.”“You only need to in
The Guardian of the Forgotten Fortress
Clara examined the map. Can we reach it through the tunnels?”“Maybe. But the archive is incomplete.” Lucas pointed toward a separate symbol.“What is that?”A second location was marked beneath an abandoned fortress several kilometers north of the city.The label read: ENERGY TRANSFER FACILITY.Ethan recognized the structure from the map he had seen in the governor’s chamber.It was an old military fortress, built before the collapse and abandoned after the surrounding district became overrun with monsters.“That may be where they stored the remaining equipment,” he said.“Then we should go there first,” Lucas replied. “If the governor took the original records, the fortress may contain copies.”Clara looked toward the damaged barrier display visible through the window.“We cannot leave the city like this.”“We will not,” Ethan said. “The guards can manage the defense if we help restore the energy core. Once the barrier is stable, we can leave.”He examined the map again.A small warn
The Shadow Order’s Forbidden Experiment
Ethan raised one hand.“I am not asking you to choose me over the city. I am asking you to stop someone from making decisions about your lives without telling you the truth.”He pointed toward the failing barrier display.“The city’s defenses are damaged. We need to repair them, secure the energy core, and find out who disrupted the system. We cannot do that if the people responsible for protecting you are secretly working with an organization that takes people for experiments.”A guard near the steps lowered his weapon.Another followed.The governor saw the change and understood that he had lost control of the crowd.His chief of security stepped close and whispered something into his ear.The governor nodded.Then he turned toward Ethan.“You think exposing me will make this city safer? You have no idea what is coming. The organization you have angered can destroy these walls before sunrise.”“Then we should have faced that threat together.”“You would have refused to cooperate.”“
The Governor’s Betrayal Exposed
Ethan released an arrow.The visitor moved before the shot reached him.A silver barrier formed in front of his body, and the arrow shattered against it.At the same moment, the two armored men charged.Lucas moved to intercept the first attacker. Their weapons clashed, filling the chamber with a sharp metallic sound.Clara raised her staff and released a wave of blue energy toward the second man.He stepped through it.The energy passed over his armor without slowing him.Clara’s eyes widened.“They are protected by something!”Ethan drew another arrow.“Then we find out what.”He activated Marksman’s Focus.The world seemed to slow around him. He could see the faint silver lines running beneath the attackers’ armor. The lines gathered around small devices attached to their chests and wrists.Those devices were supplying the barriers.Ethan aimed at the wrist of the attacker fighting Clara.Moonlight Shot.The arrow struck the device.A burst of sparks erupted, and the man’s protective ba
