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

    The moment Gregory’s hand made contact with the door, an electric jolt shot through his arm, sending a surge of energy coursing through his body.He recoiled instinctively, but the door had already begun to open wider, its ancient hinges groaning under the weight of the unseen force.The air thickened, growing heavier with each passing second, and the temperature plummeted. A cold, biting wind blew through the opening, tugging at his clothes as if to drag him inside.Gregory’s breath caught in his throat, the gravity of the decision settling on his chest like an iron weight. He could feel the darkness behind the door, feel its pull, a magnetic force that called to something deep within him.It was a whispering promise, a tantalizing invitation to uncover the secrets that had haunted him for so long.

    The ground beneath Gregory’s feet trembled, and the light, which had once felt like a beacon of hope, now seemed to waver, flickering as though it could burn out at any moment.His heart pounded fiercely in his chest, each beat a reminder that the battle was far from over. The figure, his shadow, his counterpart, was now nothing more than a flickering silhouette, yet its presence still loomed large in Gregory's mind.It was as if it was ingrained in his very soul, a manifestation of everything he feared, everything he wished to escape."Do you think you can escape the darkness?" the voice, now colder and more malevolent, echoed around him. It seemed to come from every direction, swirling around him like a storm."You can run, Gregory, but you can never hide from the truth of who you are."Gregory gritted his teeth, shaking his head. "You’re wrong. I’m not you. I refuse to be what you represent."The ground continued to quake, and the light dimmed further, casting the room into shadows

  • Chapter 290: The Void Within

    The darkness swallowed him whole. For a moment, there was nothing, no sensation, no sound. Just an overwhelming void that seemed to stretch endlessly in every direction.Gregory’s body felt weightless, as if suspended in a place where time and space no longer existed. 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. The fear that had been building inside him now became a tangible presence, gnawing at his insides, threatening to consume him whole.He had leapt into the unknown, but had he made the right choice? A thousand possibilities raced through his mind, each one more terrifying than the last.The figure’s words echoed relentlessly: “This is your fate, Gregory. This is where you fall.”“No.”The word was a whisper, but it carried weight. Gregory’s chest tightened, his body instinctively curling in on itself, as though trying to protect what was left of his sanity. "I will not

  • 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
