James leaned forward, his pale eyes intense. "That, Alex, is something you'll understand when the time comes. For now, just trust us. Find a location with a secret realm. And when you do, we'll explain everything."Alex studied his great-grandfather for a long moment. There was something in his eyes, something ancient and knowing and just a little bit sad. He was hiding something. Something important.But Alex trusted him. He had always trusted him."Alright," he said. "I'll find your location. But when the time comes, you'll explain everything. No more secrets."" Okay you will see for yourself," James agreed. "I promise."Alex left the chamber and walked out into the valley.The sun was setting, painting the sky in shades of gold and rose. The base stretched before him a monument to human ambition, a testament to what could be achieved when people worked together. And beyond the base, the inner zone stretched toward the horizon vast, mysterious, full of dangers and opportunities.“

Alex had noticed it throughout the ceremony the way the delegates' eyes kept drifting toward him, the way they whispered among themselves when they thought he wasn't looking. They were curiously looking toward him.“They know I found the secret realm,” he thought. “They know I'm the one who scouted the base location. They know I'm the one who's been hunting in the deep inner zone for the past year. They want to know what else I've found. Hey, I am overthinking again. If there is something I will know soon.”He didn't react. He simply stood there, his expression neutral, his grey eyes meeting theirs without flinching. Let them wonder and speculate. He had nothing to hide, nothing they could prove, anyway.The ceremony continued. Marcus Blackwood spoke next, the ancient Immortal King's voice strong and steady. He spoke of the alliance between the Roshar family and the Blackwood family, of the bond that had been forged over a thousand years. He spoke of the future: the children who would
Inauguration
The inner zone was no longer empty.It had been a wasteland, a corrupted wilderness so dangerous that even Law realm warriors hesitated to enter. The monsters that roamed its territories were twisted by dark energy, their bodies warped, their minds consumed by rage. The spatial fabric was unstable, torn by centuries of conflict and corruption. And the resources that lay buried beneath its surface were inaccessible to all but the most powerful cultivators.But now, everything has changed.The monster surge had ended. The corrupted beasts had retreated. The spatial fabric was stabilizing. And the resources, the spiritual energy crystals, the rare ores, the ancient treasures were finally within reach.Every race in the Stargate had noticed. Every race had seen the opportunity. And every race had begun to move.The humans had been the first. The Roshar family had built their base in a defensible valley near the center of the inner zone, a massive fortress of white stone and spiritual ene
Plan
The construction of the demon base began within the month.Vorath led a massive expedition into the inner zone thousands of demon warriors, hundreds of engineers, and enough supplies to build a small city. They moved through the corrupted wilderness with the discipline of a well-trained army, their auras blazing with dark energy, their eyes scanning for any sign of danger.The journey took three weeks. The terrain was harsh jagged rocks, twisted forests, rivers of corrupted liquid that burned the skin. But the demons were hardy, and they had faced worse. They pressed on, driven by their king's command and their own hunger for power.When they reached the chosen location in a rugged valley on the eastern edge of the inner zone they found it exactly as the intelligence reports had described. The valley was surrounded by cliffs, providing natural protection from the wind and the monsters. A river wound through the center, its waters clear and clean. And there were deposits of rare ores
Demon base
The Demon King emerged from the cave and entered his palace only to see his War Chiefs waiting for him.They stood in a loose semicircle, their faces carefully neutral, their eyes betraying their curiosity. They had seen him go into the forbidden area in the palace, and they had seen him emerge after a few hours. They wanted to know what he had been doing in the forbidden area. They wanted to know what he is planning for the future."Kaelor," the Demon King said, addressing the oldest of the War Chiefs. "You've been gathering information on the inner zone. What have you found?"Kaelor stepped forward, his scarred face thoughtful. "We've identified several potential locations for a demon base in the inner zone. Each one has its own advantages and disadvantages.""Show me."Kaelor raised his hand, and a holographic display flickered to life above his palm. It showed a map of the inner zone, a vast expanse of corrupted wilderness, dotted with spatial anomalies and resource deposits."The
Game
Source walked past the Demon King and stopped at the edge of the empty pool. Its silver eyes studied the dry basin for a long moment."Three thousand years," it said quietly. "That's how long you spent collecting this blood. Three thousand years of patience. Three thousand years of sacrifice. And now it's gone.""You took it," the Demon King said, his voice tight. "You took it without asking. Without permission.""I did." The Source nodded, its void-face shifting. "And I would do it again. The blood was wasted on you; you never would have broken through to the Universe Venerable realm with it. But for me, it was a resource. A key ingredient in a much larger plan.""What plan?""That's not your concern." The Source turned to face him, its silver eyes gleaming. "What should concern you is the future. Your future and the future of your race."The Demon King stiffened. "What are you talking about?""The humans have built a base in the inner zone," the Source said. "You know this. You've
