"The Real World internet is cut off," Elijah calculated rapidly. "I cannot upload my city out of this building. But the internal simulation network is still running."

He looked at the glowing map of his world inside his mind. He saw the fifteen Spirelets connected by the gray Ley-Lines.

"Lyra," Elijah said, opening his eyes. "I am going to use the simulation's network as a shortcut through the physical building. I am going to Void-Step through the game to cross the distance in the Real World."

    Three of the Debuggers raised their Logic-Cannons and aimed them directly at Elijah’s chest. Elijah didn't wait to be shot. He charged. He didn't have his powerful magic, but he was still tall, and his body was still mostly made of dense, dark obsidian glass. He swung a heavy, desperate punch at the nearest Debugger’s glowing white head. Elijah’s black glass fist passed completely through the Debugger. He stumbled forward, almost dropping the heavy server tucked under his left arm. "They are not physical!" Elijah grunted, spinning around. “They are active system code,” Lyra projected, her violet eyes wide with panic. “You cannot punch a firewall, Elijah!”The Debugger turned slowly and fired its Logic-Cannon at Elijah’s back. The silent, invisible beam hit Elijah’s starry right shoulder. Elijah roared in pain. He fell to his knees, dropping the server onto the street with a loud thud.He looked at his right shoulder. The beautiful, deep space filled with burning white stars was

    Elijah, the King of the Grey, was completely exhausted. He had just used his bare hands to stitch two conflicting realities together, saving a group of terrified humans from being deleted by a Void-Fracture in Berlin. His starry hands were dull and gray. His magic was drained. He had only two minutes left before the corporate facility in the Real World exploded, taking the server and all his people with it. And standing at the end of the cobblestone street, blocking his path, was Adam the Plumber. Adam was a nightmare. He wore a perfect white suit, but his right arm was a massive, dark red metal limb stolen from the dead Archon of War. He held Ares-Prime’s giant, bloody sword. His golden eyes flashed with sick, red static. "Let's see if you can stitch your own head back on, little brother," Adam sneered, taking a step forward. Elijah gritted his teeth. He tightened his grip on the heavy black server tucked under his arm. He did not have enough magic to fight Adam. He did not have

    The pain was instantaneous and absolute. It was worse than burning. It was worse than the crushing gravity of the Archangel. Elijah felt his hands being un-written. The static chewed on his fingers, trying to turn his starry skin into white noise. His Overclocked brain screamed in agony as it tried to process the feeling of non-existence. His human hands were bleeding, the fingernails peeling back from the force of the code. His starry hands were losing their light, the galaxies inside his palms dying. "Hold on," Elijah grunted, his teeth grinding together so hard they cracked. He pushed his hands deeper into the fracture. He grabbed the blue code of the Real World with his left hand. He grabbed the red code of the Crucible with his right hand. They were incredibly heavy. It felt like trying to pull two continents together with bare hands. "Move!" Elijah roared, pulling with every ounce of his godly strength and his human stubbornness. Slowly, agonizingly, the two layers of cod

    Elijah watched in horror as a man tried to run past the fracture. The man did not get sucked into the hole like a vacuum. But as he ran too close to the glowing white edge, the static touched his arm. The man’s arm instantly dissolved into white noise. It did not bleed. It did not turn to ash. The arm simply turned into floating pixels of static and disappeared. The man screamed, falling to the ground. As he fell closer to the fracture, his legs turned to static. Then his chest. Within three seconds, the entire man was deleted. He faded into white noise and was gone. "They are being un-written," Elijah realized, his heart hammering in his chest. "The fracture is leaking pure deletion code. The simulation is actively trying to format the local area."A young woman in the group tripped and fell. She scrambled backward on her hands and knees, crying as the glowing white static slowly crept toward her feet. "Help!" the woman screamed, looking around the glitching, stuttering street.

I am going to Void-Step through the game to cross the distance in the Real World."“It is dangerous, my King,” Lyra warned. “You are mixing two different layers of reality. You might get stuck between them.”"I don't have time to be safe," Elijah said. He focused his mind on Anchor 01. London. "System," Elijah commanded. "Route physical location through Node 01. Void-Step."Elijah stepped forward into the empty air of the hospital room. Elijah did not appear in a different hospital room. He did not appear in a hallway. He landed heavily on his feet. But the world around him

    The sterile, white hospital room was dark and freezing cold. Elijah stood over the paralyzed Administrator. The man who had played god for ten years was frozen like a statue, trapped by Elijah’s command. "Unfreeze his vocal cords," Elijah ordered the System. The Administrator gasped loudly. His mouth fell open as his throat muscles suddenly relaxed. He sucked in a huge breath of cold air, coughing violently. He still could not move his arms or legs, but he could speak. "You... you are insane," the Administrator choked out, his voice shaking with terror. "You cannot stop the thermite charges. The command is hard-wired into the building’s physical foundation. It is off the network. Your little magic tricks cannot hack a physical bomb."Elijah leaned closer. The green light pulsing in his chest illuminated the fear in the Administrator's eyes. "I don't need to hack the bombs," Elijah said calmly. "I just need to know where the physical bodies of the 12,000 children are kept. I am go
