Soren's Pov

I spun around.

Nothing.

The apartment was empty except for Nadia standing a few steps behind me, watching my face with sharp concern. No one else. No footsteps. No shift in the air. Only the low hum of the refrigerator and the distant sound of traffic that still pretended the city was normal.

Inside the spatial space the photograph remained exactly where it was, resting on the wooden table in that impossible room. I forced myself to look at it again, slower this time, fighting the i

  • CHAPTER 65: EARTH IS NOT UNDER YOUR COMMAND

    Soren's POVI forced my spatial ability to settle.The device in Maelin’s hand was humming against the air around my fingers, cutting off my connection like a blade through silk. I pushed back hard, willing the field to hold. The device sparked once, then flickered. I pushed again, stronger this time, and a small distortion rippled through the space between us. The device sparked harder, then died completely.Her soldiers immediately raised their weapons.Nadia stepped forward, rifle steady in both hands. “If any of you fire, this stops being a negotiation and turns into a full battle. We’re all dead in seconds. Think about that.”For several seconds, neither side moved. The only sound was the low hum of the dying device and the distant pulse of the light column overhead.Maelin raised one hand slowly, palm open. “Stand down. All of you.”Her team lowered their rifles, but their eyes stayed locked on us, waiting for any sudden move.Maelin lowered her own device and stepped closer, vo

  • CHAPTER 64: THE PEOPLE WHO CAME PREPARED

    Soren's POVThe archive screen went completely dark.Caleb stood frozen, staring at the red line stamped across the bottom of the screen. STATUS: MEMORY PARTITIONED. His face had gone the color of old paper. “That’s not possible,” he whispered. “I never touched that program. I studied folded space until my hands shook. I tested the dangers of the Fold until I thought I’d lose my mind. But this… this says I was part of it. Part of me.”Nadia didn’t lower her rifle. She just stared at him, eyes hard. “Caleb, talk to me. Right now. Every single thing you remember about the Anchor Program. Don’t leave anything out. Not one detail.”Caleb swallowed hard, then started talking fast, like he was trying to outrun the words. “I studied folded space. That was my job. I tested the boundaries of reality. I pushed the limits until things broke. I discovered how the Fold could tear a hole in time and space and suck you through if you weren’t careful. But I never went near that research chamber. I ne

  • CHAPTER 63: THE MAN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH

    Soren's POVCaleb slammed his fist on the console again, harder this time. The whole archive shook. “No. I never worked with any of them. I studied folded space, Nadia. I tested the dangers of the Fold. I discovered how it rips reality apart. But I never touched some stupid Anchor Program. Never. You hear me? Never.”Nadia didn’t lower her rifle. She just stared at the screen, eyes narrowed. “Then who the hell is that photo of, Caleb? Because that guy on your left… he looks exactly like Soren. Same jaw. Same eyes. Same stupid smirk like he’s already planning something. And that smirk is on your face in this picture.”Caleb stumbled back until he hit the wall. His breathing came fast and shallow. “That’s not me. And that’s definitely not Soren. I never set foot near that facility. I swear on everything I’ve survived. I swear!”I stepped between them, voice low but sharp. “Nadia, pull every single record on that program. Don’t stop until it’s empty. Everything. Including the evacuation

  • CHAPTER 62: THE VOICE FROM ANOTHER WORLD

    Soren's POVThe archive screen suddenly lit up again, that same glowing text searing across it.*INCOMING CONNECTION REQUEST: EARTH.*I froze, hand still on the console. “Caleb, no. Don’t touch it.”Caleb lunged anyway, fingers flying toward the panel. “This is bullshit, Soren. Who the hell is sending this? Let me shut it down before…”The connection ignored him. The screen didn’t dim. Instead it brightened, and a woman’s face filled the display.She looked rough around the edges, like she’d been through hell. Gray streaks in her dark hair, torn uniform, eyes sharp with exhaustion. “My name is Mara Venn. I’m from Orthea. We used to be connected to hundreds of worlds through the same network. The Fold was just one of our gateways.”Nadia raised her rifle. “Keep talking.”Mara didn’t slow down. “The network was built for communication and controlled travel between worlds. But the gateway on Earth went unstable after you reconnected it. That signal is racing through the entire network ri

  • CHAPTER 61: THE FIRST RESPONSE

    Soren's POVThe message remained on the archive screen.“THEY KNOW YOU’RE HERE.”I stared at it, trying to understand who “they” meant. The archive contained records of thousands of worlds, but nothing identified the sender of the warning. No name. No face. Just the words hanging there like a threat that had already found us.Nadia moved closer to the console while Caleb examined the doorway through which we had entered. Neither of them could detect an immediate threat, yet the feeling that something had noticed us refused to disappear.Nadia tapped the screen again. “It’s not a distortion. It’s not a Fold signal. It’s something else. Something that just… noticed us. The archive is reacting to our presence like it’s been waiting for us to show up.”Caleb ran his fingers along the edge of the doorway. “I’ve folded space before, but this feels different. It’s like the archive is watching us. Like it’s waiting for us to do something. I don’t feel any danger yet, but I feel eyes on us. Ey

  • CHAPTER 60: BEYOND THE END

    Soren's POVWe walked toward the strange light. It wasn’t a distortion. I knew that the moment we stepped closer. The Fold was still sealed. The distortions were gone. This was something else. A hole in reality that wasn’t part of the spatial pocket. A doorway that had been hidden outside normal space.Nadia kept her rifle ready. “It’s not one of ours. I can feel the difference in the air. This isn’t the fold we sealed. This is… new.”Caleb folded his hands, eyes narrowed. “It’s not in my pocket either. I’ve folded space before, but this feels different. Like it was waiting for us to find it.”The future Soren; the version that had already disappeared had been the last to see it coming. I was the one who had carried his memories. This was the thing he had tried to warn us about. The thing he had spent his whole life preparing for.We reached the edge of the light.It was a perfect circle of white, like a doorway cut into the sky. Inside, I could see a structure that wasn’t there befo
