Chapter 207
There was no sky. No stars. No gravity. No sense of up or down. Kael stood on something—but even that was a lie. It wasn’t earth. It wasn’t ground. It was… nothing. A blank space that pulsed with silent potential, like the canvas of a story that hadn’t been told yet.He moved forward, even though there was no direction.He breathed, even though there was no air.And yet, Kael existed.He looked around, searching for any shape, any landmark, any echo of the world he had just left behind. But there was nothing. No voices. No stars. No time. Even his own heartbeat felt suspended.He didn’t even know how long he had been walking. Seconds? Centuries? Time unraveled here like spilled thread, useless and unreachable.His name felt distant too. Not Kael. Not Warbringer. Not Valis.Just… something walking through silence.Then—light.It wasn’t harsh. It wasn’t warm. It wasn’t even comforting.It was aware.It hovered in front of him in a slow swirl, folding itself into shape—not like a person,
Chapter 206
The Gate didn’t open so much as it revealed itself.Not with fanfare. Not with cosmic explosions or memory-glitching light. Just a silent ripple, like a curtain being drawn back in the middle of the universe.One moment, there was only sky.The next, the Gate of One stood before them.A structure of impossible symmetry—black, jagged, yet perfect. It shimmered in and out of visibility, like reality couldn’t decide whether to keep it or hide it. The air around it was too quiet, too clean. There were no stars near it. No wind. No gravity. Just… pause.Kael emerged from the valley floor, his body cracking and reforming as he ascended. His form was different now—not the war-born Kael, not the fractured god-form, and not Valis.He was something else.Something scarred. Incomplete. But conscious.Pamela ran to him first. “You’re back.”He looked at her, but his eyes were distant—glassy with layers of thoughts too wide for language.Riva stepped forward next, cautious. “You went inside the fi
Chapter 204
The world breathed slower now. Kael remained still, lying where the starlight met the earth’s glowing roots. The air shimmered around him—time curved gently, refusing to move without his permission. But someone else had already changed. Marcus stood at the edge of the obsidian tree, its crystal-like branches weaving silently behind him. He looked… almost the same. But not quite. His skin now held faint constellations that moved beneath the surface like memory echoing under flesh. His eyes had lost their whites entirely—replaced by smooth spheres of starlit gray. He didn’t blink. He didn’t need to. When Selene stepped closer, she felt it immediately. He wasn’t human anymore. “Marcus,” she whispered. “Is that still you?” He turned slowly, and when he smiled—it was gentle. Sad. “In part,” he said, echoing the same words he had spoken when he first emerged from the black tree. “But not all.” Pamela watched him warily, arms folded. She had been quiet since the last ri

Chapter 201
Silence.Then breath.Not from lungs. Not from anything human.The world itself exhaled.The trees moved—not in wind, but in rhythm. Their leaves shimmered with pulses of light, their bark flexing as if muscles tensed beneath the skin of the forest.The ground rose and fell. Not violently. Gently. Like a sleeping giant, dreaming underfoot.Kael had rewritten the universe.And it was alive.—Selene opened her eyes first. The air felt strange in her lungs—not heavy, not light. It was aware.She sat up slowly, blinking against the kaleidoscope of light overhead. There was no sky—only infinite layers of stars. Some blinked in and out like thoughts changing their mind. Others spun in spirals, singing soft songs in languages she almost understood.Kael lay beside her.Still. Not unconscious. Just… deep. As if speaking that final word had buried him in the roots of this world.“Kael…” she whispered, brushing the hair back from his face.He didn’t wake.Not yet.A few feet away, Pamela stirr
Chapter 200
The sky had no shape now. No edges. No color. It was an unthreading memory, pulled apart like silk soaked in light.Kael stood at the center of the dying world that had never been born.The runes burned beneath his feet, spiraling outward across the ground like veins made of fire and breath. They weren’t symbols anymore—they were thoughts. Moments. Pain and hope encoded in lines only he could read.Each one spoke a truth.Each one carried a cost.Kael lifted his hand.The Language of Undoing—the oldest power, the one even the Architect feared—swirled up his arm. The air itself fractured. Reality shivered. Time hiccupped and bled out.He was no longer just Kael.He was Valis, the First Memory.He was the Warbringer, the Architect’s mistake.He was the breath before creation and the silence after it.And it terrified him.“Kael,” Selene’s voice came behind him—sharp, trembling. “Stop. You don’t need to do this alone.”He didn’t turn. He couldn’t. His body was the anchor now, a bridge be
Chapter 199
The first step off the ship felt like stepping into a dream someone had never finished painting.The ground pulsed under Kael’s boots. It wasn’t dirt. It wasn’t rock. It was… memory. Raw, shapeless, unfinished. Like the planet itself was waiting for someone to finish imagining it.Pamela crouched down, ran her fingers through the soft, shifting soil. “It’s like ash,” she muttered. “But it’s not cold.”Marcus walked ahead. His foot sank halfway through the ground before it lifted him back up.“Gravity’s drunk,” he said. “So is physics.”Kael stood at the front, his eyes locked on the horizon.There was no sky. No sun. No real wind. But light still existed. Air still moved. It was a planet that should’ve never been—but somehow, it was still here.“This place doesn’t exist,” Pamela said. “I scanned for it. Checked the universal records, star charts, the Tribunal vaults… It’s not on any map.”“It was never born,” Kael said. His voice was calm. Too calm.Pamela frowned. “Then how the hell
