It began as a low sound, not loud at first, but deep and wrong. It rolled through the earth like a warning breath.

In the desert of Arcanum, sand lifted from the ground without wind. The sky darkened as if the sun itself had stepped back in fear. Then the alarms came.

Every Traveler outpost lit up at once. Red lights flooded command rooms. Sirens cut through sleep and silence.

Across the globe, people woke with pounding hearts, feeling the same pressure behind their eyes. The System spoke everywhere at the same time.

“Envoy-class entity detected. Location confirmed. Arcanum Worldcore Site.”

Oliver was already moving when the words appeared. He stood on the command platform of the Meridian Citadel, eyes fixed on the rising image forming above the desert on the holo-map.

A shadow stretched across the sand, far larger than before. It blotted out the horizon. Even from orbit, the shape was visible. The Envoy had returned.

Its presence bent the light. The sky above Arcanum folded inward

  • Chapter 401

    Meridian had never seen crowds like this before. From dawn to dusk, transports arrived from every direction. Airships drifted in slow lines across the sky. Ground convoys rolled through the outer gates, carrying banners, supplies, and people who looked tired but determined. Some wore guild uniforms patched and repaired many times. Others wore plain clothes and carried nothing but hope.The world had come to Meridian. At the center of the city stood the rebuilt arena.It was no longer just stone and steel. Light ran through its structure like veins. Tall spires curved inward, forming a crown that shimmered under the sealed sky. The arena could hold fifty thousand people, and every seat was filled or about to be filled.Banners hung from the upper tiers. Red, blue, white, black, and gold. Old rival guilds now stood side by side. Some banners were faded. Some were new. All of them carried scars of the war.This was the first Traveler Exam since the crisis. For many, it felt like the f

    The world did not cheer right away. After the Envoy fell, there was no sudden joy, no wild relief. There was only silence. Smoke drifted over broken land. The desert of Arcanum lay still, its glassy surface cracked like a mirror struck too many times. The sky above it was clear again, but the light felt cautious, as if the sun itself was unsure whether it was safe to shine fully. Weeks passed before the world began to breathe again.Reconstruction ships filled the skies. Traveler engineers raised barrier pylons where ruins still smoldered. Cities patched themselves together with metal, stone, and magic, building not beauty, but safety first. Everywhere, people worked with quiet focus, aware that rest was a luxury they could not afford.Above Meridian, the Traveler Citadel rose again.It was no longer only a school or a fortress. It became something new. Wide rings of barrier light circled the city like guardian halos. Defensive obelisks stood at every horizon point, humming with s

    The sun hung low over Meridian’s ruins, casting long shadows across the broken plaza. Smoke drifted from shattered towers, and the wind carried the faint metallic scent of Rift energy. Oliver stood at the edge of the crater left by the Envoy’s last attack, his eyes fixed on the swirling air above it. Somewhere beneath this place, hidden in layers of collapsed stone and charred earth, a Rift fragment still pulsed. The Traveler Guild wanted it.The Guild believed the fragment might reveal something about the Envoy’s weakness. It was Oliver’s task to retrieve it.His team assembled at dawn. Iris stood by his side, adjusting her gauntlets. Billy arrived last with a tired grin, though his eyes carried their usual shadows.Commander Rhoen briefed them quickly. “We will extract the fragment using a specialized containment seal,” he said. “Expect distortions and unpredictable terrain. Rift fragments tend to reshape their surroundings.”Oliver nodded, already sensing the faint hum of instabi

    The academy felt colder after the Envoy’s attack. People walked the halls with quiet steps, as if afraid the walls themselves might crack from the weight of what they had witnessed. Oliver felt the change in the air the moment he stepped out of the infirmary. Everything seemed dimmer. Every light hummed with a soft static. Every shadow felt too still. The world had changed, and everyone felt it.The Traveler Guild began investigations at sunrise. Scholars filled the citadel, their robes brushing the marble floors as they hurried between labs and archives. They spoke in low voices, clutching rune tablets, arguing about energy signatures, gravitational distortions, and ancient theories once dismissed as myths.Oliver sat at a round table in the research wing, staring at the holo-screen in front of him. It displayed the Envoy’s last known energy pulse, a violent spiral of black and white flames woven together like a twisted sun.“This pattern,” one of the scholars whispered, “it match

    The earthquake struck just before sunrise. It started as a faint vibration under Oliver’s bed, like someone tapping the floor from beneath the world. Then it grew, rising into a violent tremor that shook the academy tower from its top floor to its deepest vaults. Windows rattled. Bedframes groaned. Books fell in heavy thumps across the dorm halls.Oliver shot upright, breathing hard. Another tremor rolled through the room, stronger than the first. The air hummed with static. His System flashed into view without being summoned. The text glowed blood-red.[Global Alert: Spatial equilibrium breach detected][Source: North Meridian Faultline][Rifts emerging across all regions]Oliver’s eyes widened. “Iris,” he whispered.He grabbed his coat, hooked on his boots, and ran out the door. Down the hall, Iris burst from her room at the same moment. Her hair was tangled, her breath shaky, but her eyes were sharp. “The ground won’t stop shaking,” she said. “What’s happening?”“The System thi
