The chasm opened wider, its black depths swirling like an endless void beneath Gregory’s feet. The pull of the abyss was palpable, a magnetic force that seemed to be drawing him closer with every passing second.

His heart thundered in his chest, the roar of the storm deafening in his ears, and the shadows seemed to stretch and coil around him like tendrils of some ancient, malevolent force.

The figure in the doorway remained still, its cold gaze fixed on Gregory, waiting for him to make his choice. The storm’s energy crackled in the air, a buzzing, electric tension that made Gregory’s skin prickle with fear and anticipation.

The walls around him groaned under the strain, their metal surface beginning to warp and bend as if the entire structure was about to collapse.

“What choice?” Gregory’s voice trembled, barely able to rise above the deafening roar of the storm. “What choice do I have left?”

He couldn't tell if he was falling, floating, or simply lost in the vast emptiness.His pulse thudded in his ears, louder than the silence surrounding him.

  • Chapter 289: The Dark Nexus

    Gregory’s descent into the abyss was unlike anything he had ever experienced. It wasn’t just a fall, it was a complete unraveling of his sense of self, as if every fiber of his being was being torn apart and reassembled by an unseen force.His body tumbled through the endless void, disoriented and weightless, the echoes of his fall resonating in his mind like the sound of a thousand drums.There was no light. No ground. Just an infinite expanse of darkness that seemed to stretch forever in all directions. The deeper he fell, the more disconnected he felt from the world he had known.His thoughts were fragmented, his heart racing in his chest, but a strange sense of clarity began to settle over him.This was not just a test. It was a reckoning. As the darkness closed in around him, his mind flashed back to the words of the figure, the twisted version of himself. "You are me, Gregory. And I am you."The voice echoed again, and the air grew thick with the weight of its meaning. Gregory g

  • Chapter 288: The Abyss Awaits

    Gregory's eyes snapped open, his chest heaving as if he had been plunged into cold water. He gasped for breath, his hands clutching the ground beneath him, the world around him spinning.The storm, its violent winds and furious roars, had vanished. The chasm that had threatened to swallow him was gone, replaced by an empty void that stretched out in every direction.A suffocating silence pressed in on him, more oppressive than the storm itself. He pushed himself to his feet, his body still trembling with the remnants of the pain he had endured. His mind raced, trying to piece together what had happened."Where am I?" he whispered, his voice sounding foreign in the stillness. There was no answer. Only the echo of his own voice reverberated through the emptiness.Then, slowly, the ground beneath his feet began to shift. The air crackled with energy, and a low hum filled the space, as if something ancient and powerful was awakening. Gregory’s heart skipped a beat.He spun around, his sen

    Gregory's eyes snapped open, his breath ragged as he found himself lying on a cold, jagged surface. His head throbbed, and his limbs felt like they had been torn apart and put back together.The air around him was thick, as if every breath he took was a struggle, suffocating him with an overwhelming sense of dread.He forced himself to sit up, his body protesting with every movement. As his vision cleared, he took in the distorted world around him.The ground beneath him was cracked and broken, the jagged edges glowing with an eerie light. The sky above was a deep crimson, swirling with dark clouds that seemed to pulse with energy. The atmosphere itself felt wrong, unnatural.And then there was the figure. Standing in the distance, silhouetted against the blood-red sky, was a figure he had seen before. It was the same figure from the hallway, the one who had told him that there was no escape, no choice.The one who had said that fate was already sealed. It was him. The harbinger of hi

    The chill in the air hadn’t dissipated. It hung around Gregory like a shroud, a constant reminder of the storm he had just unleashed.His breath came in ragged gasps, the weight of the power he now wielded settling heavily on his shoulders. The floor beneath his feet felt unstable, as though it too was still reeling from the sheer force of the energy that had just erupted from him.The air crackled with residual tension, the remnants of the storm’s fury. Gregory’s eyes flicked to the figure in the doorway, the one who had dared to challenge him.The figure remained motionless, a dark silhouette against the eerie glow of the hallway’s dim lights. For a moment, it seemed as though time had stopped altogether.The distant rumble of the storm outside, the hum of the machinery, everything had faded into a haunting silence.But that silence was soon shattered, not by a sound, but by the feeling of a presence, something even more dangerous than the storm, something more calculated, more dead
