2023-05-30 23:09:37William smirked, blowing smoke from his mouth and nose. He shook his head and said, "Not now. Although he is the heir to all the wealth, he needs more time to understand. Let him grasp how life works; I don't want to suddenly reveal everything and spoil him with fulfilled desires. My task now is to guide him to control that power. So, keep it secret."
The black-suited man bowed his head once again to William and said, "Yes, Sir. I understood."
"Okay, please go ahead. Wake them up at five o'clock, we will go to the city for dinner there. I will introduce Andrew to some amazing people who can assist him in his future work," William said.
The old man then clapped his hands, and at the same time, all the curtains closed. Right after the man in black left, William, with his eyes closed, said, "Close the door."
The door of the room that was previously unseen emerged from above and closed the room perfectly.
***
Andrew still stood upright in front of the bedroom door. His face widened into a broad grin when he discovered the room given to him by William was truly spacious and magnificent. The wide bed with a canopy and tall support poles made Andrew feel like he was trapped in a palace. The large wardrobe also caught Andrew's attention.
"Woah!"
Andrew exclaimed in awe as the wardrobe opened, revealing a collection of clothes from world-renowned brands neatly arranged. For the first time, Andrew felt so honored by the attention given to him by William.
"I might not even be able to afford this wardrobe, even if I knew about it. He's truly insane. I feel burdened to heal him quickly."
Andrew took a plain black sweater, its fabric so soft that Andrew couldn't help but rub it before putting it on.
"Oh my Goodness, I could go crazy if I'm trapped here for too long!" Andrew brought the sweater, now on his body, in front of the mirror in the corner of the room.
The charm given by the black sweater was truly satisfying. Andrew felt handsome and more elegant. He smiled widely and didn't blink for several seconds as he admired his reflection in the mirror. Eventually, Andrew's eyes unintentionally landed on a black book lying on a small table next to the mirror.
"What book is that?"
Andrew approached and took the thick book. On the cover page, there was a strange sentence written in golden ink, 'Din udødelige kraft.'
Of course, this intrigued Andrew. For some reason, his blood quickened. His curiosity peaked as he slowly opened the book and widened his eyes when he saw a picture of a necklace on the first page.
"What?!"
Andrew focused his eyes on the book. He wasn't mistaken; the necklace depicted there was exactly the same as the one his grandmother had given him.
"Black Sapphire XV... This necklace has a name? This is insane, what does all of this mean?"
Andrew continued to flip through the book, finding blank pages for the next five sheets. However, on the sixth page, instructions and clues about the necklace and its power started to appear.
"When it merges, then it will become your controller – Black Sapphire XV. The cure one."
"The cure?" Andrew immediately read through the instructions written quickly. Once again, he was surprised by the evidence that this part was something he could use for healing. It was what he had been searching for to cure William.
Suddenly, Andrew closed the book and sat on the edge of the bed, a sense of confusion enveloping his soul.
"William knows about the power I possess, and he has this book. Does it mean he understands the power I have? Did he intentionally summon me to learn about this power and heal him? Shit!"
Andrew felt quite irritated, then he decided to approach William again. However, when he reached the door, his steps came to a halt.
"But... if he really knows about this power, why didn't he come to meet me earlier? We only met yesterday. Could it be that this book has nothing to do with William?"
Andrew returned to his bed and reopened the page where the section about healing was written. His restlessness gradually diminished, considering the last question as another reason.
His eyes now focused on a passage that outlined the steps for healing a deadly disease.
- Take a strand of your hair, place it in a container, and add five drops of blood.
- Stir and add three drops of water.
- Press the edge of the jaw of the person to be healed and give them the mixture orally.
- Concentrate and exert your power on the sick person.
Andrew stared at his hands and slowly nodded. He then reopened the book page by page, with each instruction neatly written, including one instruction labeled "the Death One," which was intended to end someone's life.
Andrew's heart instantly pounded, and the surprise he received was something he never expected. The power that initially felt enjoyable had now turned into something horrifying. Andrew closed the book and swallowed hard.
"I have to keep this book, whether it was intentional or not by William, I can't just leave it behind. I need to refocus on my goal here; I just need to heal him and leave. Yup! I just need to do that."
He then stored the book under his pillow. As if nothing had happened, Andrew went back to the wardrobe and started trying on other luxurious clothes.

Season 3-Chp 23
At first, it felt like calm—a welcomed reprieve after days of relentless chaos. But Reya knew better. Silence was rarely innocent. It was often a mask worn by what came next: revelation, betrayal, or worse—truth.From the terrace of the decaying observatory, Reya watched the twin moons inch across the horizon. Their light reflected off the blackened glass towers that once shimmered with pride. Now, they stood like broken fingers clawing the sky. The city had changed since Mirror was shattered, and even though the neural frequencies had stilled, the air buzzed with dormant electricity—an echo of everything that had been lost.She could hear him breathing behind her.Lukas.He hadn't spoken since they returned from the excavation site, not even when they found the symbol—an old crest buried under kilometers of ash, etched in obsidian: the First Crest of Syn."Say it," Reya whispered without turning.Lukas remained still, his silence brittle. But eventually, his voice cracked the night l
Season 3-Chp 22
At the edge of the world—where the relic fields died and the horizon stuttered like a broken film—something grew.It wasn’t made of stone.It wasn’t made of metal.It was built from remnants.Shattered timelines.Forgotten cities.Echoes of people who no longer existed in the current world, but still remembered something else.There, in that void, the clone stood—eyes vacant, skin stitched with Mirror thread—and whispered the foundation of his dominion.“I will build from the broken. I will crown myself with what they erased. I will be the king of everything that never should have been lost.”Around him, the Hollow Spire rose—impossibly high, its edges shifting like smoke and bone.In Haven, the Memory Tree stood quiet.The battle had ceased—for now.But Lukas was unraveling.It began slowly.He forgot a door.Then a date.Then the taste of his mother’s cooking—something he had held onto through every fragment of identity.Reya noticed first.“You’re blinking too much,” she said one n

The first glitch came at dawn.A woman in Sector 3 screamed as her daughter vanished mid-sentence—replaced by an older version of herself who didn’t recognize her mother.Within thirty minutes, seven more cases were reported.By noon, the city grid was swarming with inconsistencies: buildings shifted design. Statues appeared where none had stood. Names were forgotten, entire families unlinked.Orin stood in front of the Memory Tree’s node array, teeth grinding as data scrolled in corrupted waves.“It’s happening faster than I thought.”Reya stepped beside him. “The clone’s behind it.”Inside a surveillance bay deep beneath the Core Tower, Mira projected holograms across the walls.Each glitch shared one thing in common:A presence.Flickering. Human-shaped. Glowing faintly red around the eyes.Sometimes it was walking through crowds. Sometimes staring at the camera.Always… with Andrew’s face.“Same build. Same voice pattern. But look here,” Mira said, enhancing one of the stills.She

Lukas’s footsteps echoed along the obsidian corridor that led to Haven’s new core.His body ached. Time still rippled around his vision—blurred versions of the present flickering like shadows in the corners of his eyes. But he kept walking.Not toward peace.But toward her.At the far end, beneath the arc of a relic-lit dome, Reya stood, bathed in blue light. Her hand rested on a metal cradle of roots—each one pulsing with Eden’s energy.When she saw him, her expression shifted.Relief.And something more dangerous: recognition.“Lukas,” she said softly. “You made it.”He managed a breathless smile. “You sound surprised.”“I wasn’t sure you’d survive the Mirror purge.”Lukas raised a trembling hand. “Define survive.”She stepped closer, her gaze sharp.“Let me see.”Lukas hesitated. But then he nodded.She reached out—fingertips glowing faintly—and touched his temple.A spark jumped between them.And Reya saw it.A shard.A sliver of Mirror code—embedded like glass behind Lukas’s left

The skies above Haven shimmered unnaturally. Blue lightning cracked silently along the edges of buildings, spiderwebbing through clouds that weren’t supposed to exist.The relic network had felt Eden’s pulse.And now, the city remembered.Reya stood atop Sector Zero’s watchtower, the seed core of Eden in her palm, pulsing softly with rhythm like a second heartbeat.Mira emerged behind her, hair windswept, clutching a diagnostic pad. “We’ve confirmed it. Nodes all across the city are responding to the new protocol.”Reya’s gaze didn’t leave the skyline. “Good. That means the override is holding.”“What happens now?” Mira asked.Reya slowly turned to her. The glow in her irises hadn’t faded since the merge with Vayna.“We begin planting memory that can’t be rewritten.”Lukas was still shaking.He sat in the wreckage of an old service depot, blood smeared on his chest, knuckles torn open.The Mirror had fought back.When he had refused its last command—to assassinate Orin—it had turned o
Season 3-Chp 18
The moment Reya placed her hand against the surface of the relic, the world inverted.Not physically—but structurally.Light twisted inward. Time slowed. Her heart skipped, then thudded back in reverse.And the Eden core opened.Not like a door. Not like a vault.It opened like an eye.And Reya fell inside it.She wasn’t in Haven anymore.She stood on a gray shore, where black water lapped soundlessly against fractured glass. Above her, a sky of static blinked in and out of existence—glimpses of pasts, presents, and alternate nows.A woman waited at the shoreline.Silver hair. Eyes like twin needles. Skin unaged by time.Vayna.“You came,” she said. “Good. I wasn’t sure you’d be strong enough.”In the physical world, Mira screamed Reya’s name as her body collapsed beside the Eden core. Her skin shimmered faintly—runes flickering across her veins, glowing white-hot like relic code burning through her from the inside out.The relic scanner blared:“MIND-MERGE INITIATED.
