That nameless color faded slowly from Lin Fengtian's sight as his consciousness began to return. The endless falling sensation finally stopped, replaced by a strange floating feeling-as if his body was between existence and nothingness.

When Lin opened his eyes, he did not find himself in the ruins of the Eastern Tower nor in the depths of the Well of Narrations. Instead, he was in a perfectly round room that had no doors or windows. The walls sparkled with the changing color of opal, reflecting light that came from nowhere. The floor she was standing on looked like a deep black glass, as if she was standing on the surface of an ink pool.

“The Space Between,” Lin whispered to herself, recognizing the mysterious place that had only existed in the legends of the Custodians. A place where time and space did not apply, a neutral dimension that was not bound to any one reality.

Lin checked his body. The primordial energy that had almost vanished earlier was now flowing again, though it was

  • FIVE THAT BECOME ONE

    The Thirteenth Dimensional Sky turned a reddish-purple color as Lin Fengtian and his four aspects found shelter inside a crystal cave. The light from outside reflected through the crystal formations, creating a sea of shadows that danced on the cave walls. Prisms hovered a few steps away from the entrance, vibrating in patterns that suggested restlessness.“They'll be back,” Lin said softly, her hand caressing the hilt of the Dusk Rain sword that now felt lighter-as if it had lost substance. “We don't have much time.”Lyra, with her silver hair gleaming under the crystal light, nodded slowly. “How long until the dimensional transformation is complete?”The prism flickered with a bluish color. “Three dimensional cycles. In human terminology, it is probably equivalent to three days.”“Three days before the Unseen One has a chance to break in,” Lin sighed. “And three days before we have to make a decision.”Anomaly, a tall figure with skin as dark as night and a glowing runa tattoo, walk

  • ONE THAT BECOMES FIVE

    Lin's touch on the surface of the Mirror of Double Truth created a shockwave that propagated throughout the Nexus of Contradictions. The surrounding reflections shook, dancing in controlled chaos before dissolving into a single blinding flash of light. As darkness again engulfed the room, Lin fell to her knees-her body felt like it was being pulled in five different directions at once.“The decision has been made,” the figure claiming to be Lin from the future said, his voice sounding increasingly distant. “Remember, Lin Fengtian-when the time comes, you must let go to reunite.”Lin wanted to reply, but his voice was choked. All five aspects of his consciousness were now screaming in confusion, each trying to maintain its separate existence. His vision was split into five different perspectives, like looking at the world through a cracked prism.“What are you doing to me?” Lin finally managed to ask, though she wasn't sure if her voice was actually heard or just echoing in her own min

  • THE BRIDGE BETWEEN WORLDS

    The dimensional crack closed completely, leaving a scar-like mark on the fabric of reality that now glowed with a new light. Lin Fengtian pulled out the Dusk Rain sword from the ground, feeling the vibrations of primordial energy that now flowed more freely between all five aspects of his consciousness. The Thirteenth Dimension had transformed-no longer dying in rigidity or sinking into chaos, but rather finding its own new rhythm.“First stage of transformation complete,” Lin muttered to himself, his eyes scanning the dimensional horizon that was now filled with multi-colored auroras, visual manifestations of the Dissonant Harmonization taking effect.The crystalline entity he first encountered drifted closer, its body structure now more stable while still retaining its fundamental paradoxical nature.“We sense change,” the entity said, its voice now sounding like a small orchestra instead of kakophonic as before. “But that inked man-the Eater of the Void-his words bother me.”Lin no

  • PARADOX OF THE WILL

    The silence after Lin's words echoed in the room of Convergence. The Primordial Custodians slowly lowered their stance, no longer soaring high with reality-making arrogance, but rather descending until their feet touched the floor that was now filled with glowing cracks.“Discussion?” The First Custodian broke the silence, his normally steady voice now sounding shaky. “You've upset the balance we've maintained for eons.”Lin smiled faintly. Within him, five different consciousnesses moved in an orderly yet paradoxical harmony. Lyra, whose consciousness was now part of Lin's plurality, whispered in his mind.“They are afraid, Lin. For the first time in their existence, they realize their own limitations.”Lin grasped the Dusk Rain sword tighter, feeling the flow of primordial energy that now flowed freely within his body-no longer locked in separate compartments, yet also not completely fused to the point of losing their individual essence.“False balance,” Lin replied in a voice that

  • DISSONANT RESONANCE

    An eerie silence enveloped the inter-dimensional space as Lin Fengtian stood face to face with a paradoxical version of himself. The Primordial Custodians hovered in a circular formation above them, vigilance emanating from the colorful auras glowing from their bodies.“True free will,” Lin repeated the words of the paradoxical figure before him, feeling the weight of meaning in every syllable. “Does it really exist in an entirely designed reality?”The paradoxical figure smiled-a smile that was puzzling because it was so identical to Lin's own smile, yet contained shades of immortality that it lacked.“That is the greatest paradox, Lin Fengtian,” he replied in a voice that echoed in the void. “Even in a completely deterministic system, a sufficiently complex consciousness can create an illusion of choice so convincing that it becomes real.”Lyra stepped forward, standing parallel to Lin. “We don't have time for philosophical discussions,” she reminded, her eyes not leaving the Custod

  • ILLUSION MIRROR

    Silence fell over the West Tower as Lin digested Lyra's confession. The moonlight that broke through the collapsed roof illuminated both of their faces in silvery, creating long shadows that danced on the dusty floor.“Sister,” Lin repeated the word carefully, as if tasting a foreign flavor on her tongue. “You've been by my side, but as an overseer-not as family.”Lyra looked away, staring at the projection that was still spinning weakly on the altar. “The role given to me is far more complicated than just a watchdog, Lin. I'm a failure preventer, as well as a backup in case your experiment succeeds.”“Duplicates,” Lin concluded in a cold tone. “Or rather, an alternative.”“True,” Lyra nodded slowly. “But fate has a strange sense of humor. The Custodians never took into account that we-two subjects of the same experiment-would develop a bond outside the plot they had designed.”Lin stepped around the altar, her eyes never leaving Lyra's figure. The Golden Ink still hovered at the cent

  • THE PATH OF PARADOCS

    The Forbidden Library is not a welcoming place even for a Custodian. The air inside was heavy with age and secrets, filled with dust particles that glowed silvery in the light. Lin Fengtian stepped carefully down the narrow corridors between the tall shelves that rose up to the invisible ceiling. Here, forbidden and dangerous knowledge was locked up in ancient manuscripts-some of which were alive and whispering softly, calling out to passers-by.“Seventh floor,” Lin reminded herself, tightening her grip on the Dusk Rain sword.But the Forbidden Library did not obey normal architectural laws. There were no stairs or clues leading to the different floors. The only way to reach a particular floor was to understand the secret cataloging system created by the first generation of Custodians-a system only taught to those who had reached the rank of Master Custodian.Lin had not yet reached that rank. But he had something more valuable-a vague memory of his greater consciousness while with Ek

  • THE RESONANCE LEFT BEHIND

    The realization came like a wave-slowly, then crashing down mercilessly.Lin Fengtian opened his eyes, his breath coming in gasps as if he had just run hundreds of li. His vision blurred before focusing on the familiar wooden ceiling, with its ancient Eastern-style carvings. He was in his private room in the Temple of Eternal Harmony, a place he never expected to see again.The dream still felt real. The Space Between, Ekhos, the unification of identities, the Creationist Asymmetria-everything felt vividly like a memory, not just a sleeping flower.He rose slowly, feeling his body that felt unfamiliar. The primordial energy within her flowed with a different rhythm, as if it had been altered by something. When she looked into the old mirror in the corner of the room, her eyes were still four colors-red, blue, green, and yellow-but now there were golden glints flickering intermittently in her pupils.“What's happening to me?” she whispered to her reflection.Outside the window, dawn wa
