The sun had not yet breached the horizon when Oliver Beckett stepped onto the observation deck of the Skydock Tower.

Below him, the city of Solara Vant stretched in crystalline splendor, its streets alive with the quiet hum of early activity.

Even at this hour, the metropolis seemed to pulse with anticipation, every reflected light a spark of humanity’s ambition.

The air tasted faintly metallic, a residue of the Traveler Academy’s latest stabilization experiments.

Oliver inhaled sharply, fe

    "You must turn the armor power down to exactly four percent," Oliver calculated. "Four percent is enough to keep your oxygen flowing, but low enough to avoid the magical short-circuit. The moment your ships exit the portal on the other side, you will have exactly one point two seconds to turn your armor back to one hundred percent before you hit the ground."Jax rubbed his pale face. "One point two seconds. That is not a lot of time to press a button, Commander.""It is plenty of time if you do not panic," Oliver said smoothly.Oliver looked back at the giant blue map. He began to assign specific squads to specific ships. He worked faster than any human could possibly work. He was sorting forty thousand lives into perfect, neat little boxes."Squads One through Fifty will board Ships Alpha through Epsilon," Oliver dictated rapidly. Billy typed everything down as fast as he could. "Squads Fifty-One through One Hundred will board Ships Zeta through Kappa. We must balance the weight of t

    The ruined city hall shook violently. Dust fell from the broken ceiling. High above the planet Sigma-12, the sky was tearing open. A massive, dead moon was falling out of a black hole in the purple clouds. The moon was covered in dark, burning purple fire. The Wraithborn Overlord was dropping the giant rock directly onto their heads.Inside the dark command room, Billy the hacker fell out of his chair. He crawled under his heavy metal desk. He covered his head with his hands. "It is over!" Billy cried. "We are dead! The whole planet is going to be crushed!"Captain Iris leaned against the wall. She held her broken left arm. Her beautiful face was completely pale. She stared at the ceiling as the building shook. She knew Billy was right. No gun could stop a falling moon.But Commander Oliver did not hide under a desk. He did not lean against a wall.Oliver stood perfectly straight in the center of the room. He looked at the giant blue holographic map floating in the air.His right han

    "Divide the remaining forty thousand troops into three exact strike forces," Oliver ordered. "Equip them with heavy incendiary grenades and Anchor-stabilized rifles. You will march into the dark forest. You will attack the three enemy camps at exactly 1400 hours.""March into the dark forest?" Ren asked. Her voice shook for a second. "Commander, the purple fog in the forest is very thick. We will not be able to see them until they are right on top of us.""You will not need to see them," Oliver said smoothly. "I will see them for you. I will guide every squad from this room using the Rift Network map.""Understood," Ren said. "We march in ten minutes."Oliver turned to Billy."Billy. The Overlord uses the Rift Network to share tactical data across dimensions," Oliver said. "If our soldiers use plasma rifles in the forest, the monsters will learn how to beat plasma rifles. We must stop the data from uploading.""How do we stop magical data, boss?" Billy asked, looking confused."We jam

    A shadow stepped out of the bright purple light. The shadow turned into a pale woman wearing a flowing silver dress. She had completely white, blind eyes.It was Lira. The ghost of the dead dimension.Billy and Iris gasped and stepped back. They had never seen her before."Do not be afraid of the ghost," Oliver stated cleanly. "She is a rogue operative. She provides tactical intel. Lira, explain this map."Lira floated in the air. She looked at the giant, glowing web of red strings. Her white eyes looked very sad."You are looking at the Overlord’s mind, Commander," Lira whispered softly. "You are looking at the true Wraithborn empire. This is the Rift Network."Lira pointed her pale finger at a large, glowing red dot on the map."Every red dot is a planet the Wraithborn have conquered," Lira said.Oliver looked at the map. There were not just ten red dots. There were not a hundred.There were millions of red dots. They stretched across thousands of different dimensions."My god," Bil

    The command room in the ruined city hall was completely dark. The giant silver hologram was dead. The screen was black.Commander Oliver stood alone. He did not move. He did not blink.Just two minutes ago, he had watched the Wraithborn King murder the leaders of humanity. He had watched the Overlord use the human quantum communication line to teleport directly to Earth. The core worlds were burning. The capital of the human race was falling.Oliver looked at his right hand. The thick white bandages were gone. His hand was made of smooth, heavy, black metal. It was Wraithborn magic. Tiny purple lines glowed under the dark metal. The hand did not shake.The heavy wooden doors of the command room slammed open.Captain Iris ran into the room. Her left arm was still in a thick white cast. Her beautiful face was covered in dirt and gray ash. Behind her, Billy the hacker rushed in. Billy was holding his computer tablet. He was breathing very hard."Oliver!" Iris yelled. "The power grid spik

    Inside, the alien black coin was resting quietly. It glowed faintly. Oliver picked up the coin with his black metal right hand. The coin and his hand were made of the exact same dark magic. When they touched, they synced perfectly. The purple light brightened.Oliver felt a rush of cold, dark data flow up his arm. It did not hurt anymore. It felt powerful."The Overlord is watching the neighbor planets," Oliver whispered to himself. "I must inform the Council."Oliver walked to the back of the room. He approached the large, secure quantum communication terminal. This was the machine that could talk across the universe, reaching the core worlds of humanity.Oliver pressed his metal hand against the scanner. The machine hummed loudly. VMMMMMM.A brilliant, liquid silver light exploded in the center of the room. The post-singularity glow illuminated the broken walls of the city hall. It was a beautiful, pure human technology.Three giant faces appeared in the silver light. The Travele
