[Time: T-Minus 5 Minutes to Venting]

The yellow fog was thick enough to chew.

It wasn't just gas; it was a suspended chemical soup that scattered light and scrambled sensors.

Alex Vane stood in the center of the control room. He couldn't see the walls. He couldn't see the ceiling.

He could only hear the hiss of the pressure valves screaming.

    [Location: Terra-Prime - Sector 4 Slums (The Dregs)] [Time: 01:00:00 After The Awakening]The rain in the real world didn't feel like water. It felt like acid. It hissed when it hit the pavement, smelling of sulfur and burnt plastic. Alex Vane, Krog, and Ares walked down the rusted fire escape of the Server Facility.Below them lay The Dregs. It was a canyon of trash and neon. People lay slumped in the alleys, cables plugged into the back of their necks, their eyes rolling back in their heads. They were twitching, lost in the Sim-Stim—artificial dreams beamed directly into their cortexes by the Corporations."Look at them," Ares said, his droid servos whirring as he stepped over a junkie. "They are rotting. Their muscles are atrophied. They sell their biology for a few hours of digital fantasy.""They are watching us," Alex realized. He looked at a flickering hologram on a wall. It was playing a highlight reel of The Entropy War. WATCH THE IRON DEVIL CRUSH THE SERAPHIM! ONLY 5 CREDITS

  • Chapter 148: The Real World

    [Location: Unknown - The Server Facility][Time: 00:00:01 After The Awakening]There was no sound. No "System Notification." No blue boxes.Just the wet, sticky sound of fluid dripping onto cold metal.Alex Vane gasped.Air rushed into his lungs. It didn't taste like the clean, recycled air of the World-Eater. It tasted like ash, copper, and antiseptic.It tasted Real.He opened his eyes.He wasn't floating in the White Void anymore.He was lying on a cold, grate floor. He was covered in a thick, translucent slime—the amniotic fluid from the Elder Brain’s tank.He tried to stand.Gravity hit him like a hammer.In the simulation, gravity was a variable he controlled. Here, it was a constant law of physics. His limbs felt heavy. His bones ached."Heavy," Alex wheezed, coughing up blue fluid. "So heavy."He looked at his arm.The Voidbreaker Arm was still there.It wasn't a glowing polygon model anymore. It was fused to his flesh—a nightmarish limb of black metal and violet veins, hummin

    [Location: The Citadel of Light - External Firewall] [Time: T-Plus 5 Minutes since the Crash]The Citadel floated in the white void, a perfect octahedron protected by a shimmering barrier of red code. [Firewall Status: 100%.] [Access Denied.]"They locked the door," Ares said, standing on the bridge of the UNS World-Eater. "Standard 256-bit encryption. It would take a supercomputer ten thousand years to crack."Alex Vane sat in his command throne, fused to the ship. "We don't have ten thousand years," Alex said. "We have mass." "Alice. Divert all power to the prow. Reinforce the hull with the Motherboard’s Liquid Metal.""Ramming speed?" Krog asked hopefully."Ramming speed," Alex confirmed.The World-Eater accelerated. Five miles of black steel, pulsing with violet energy, slammed into the delicate red code of the firewall. CRUNCH. It wasn't a digital sound. It was the sound of reality screaming. The red barrier bent. It sparked. It tried to reject the foreign object. But the World-E

  • Chapter 146: The Glitch War

    [Location: Coordinate 0,0,0 - The White Void] [Time: The First Minute of the Server War]The battle began with a silence that shattered reality. From the Citadel of Light, the Architects spawned their army. [Spawn_Unit: Seraphim_Guardian (Lvl 100)] [Quantity: 10,000.]They appeared instantly—massive, gold-plated mechs with six wings made of hard-light. They didn't have rivets or seams. They were perfect, low-poly models with high-resolution textures. They wielded swords that burned with the white fire of deletion.Alex Vane stood on the hull of the World-Eater. "Open fire!"The Chimera Legion unleashed hell. Five hundred Mk. II Spirit-Railguns fired simultaneously. Krog launched a barrage of plasma grenades. Ares fired the ship’s secondary lasers. It was a wall of kinetic and thermal energy enough to crack a planet.The barrage hit the Seraphim line. ZERO. The damage numbers popped up in the air: 0.0.Invulnerable.The Seraphim didn't block. They just stood there. The bullets passed th

  • Chapter 145: The Event Horizon

    [Location: Sector 001 - The Dyson Swarm] [Time: T-Minus 1 Hour to Final Departure]The UNS World-Eater was no longer just a ship. It was a cosmic abomination. Fused with the Motherboard’s processing core, powered by the Qi-Energy of Sector 666, and armored with the Liquid Metal of the Firewall Sentinels, it pulsed with a terrifying, rhythmic beat.On the bridge, Alex Vane stood before his war council. Krog (The Tank) sharpened his axe, which now crackled with both plasma and Qi. Ares (The DPS) was calibrating the ship’s new targeting array, his eyes streaming with binary data. Alice (The Support) floated as a giant hologram, her avatar merging with the Motherboard’s database."We have the coordinates," Alex said, his voice echoing through the fleet. [Target: Coordinate 0,0,0.] [Region: The Event Horizon.]"The Motherboard called it the 'Real World'," Alice said. "But the sensors just show... nothing. A void in the center of the map.""It's the Admin Console," Alex adjusted his Voidbre

  • Chapter 144: The Human Virus

    [Location: Sector 001 - The Central Node (Surface)] [Time: The Intrusion]The surface of the Black Pyramid was a sea of shifting chrome. The Firewall Sentinels—liquid metal constructs—rose from the floor like mercury nightmares. They didn't run; they flowed. They didn't hold guns; their arms became guns."DELETE," the hive-mind voice droned.Krog charged the nearest Sentinel. He swung his Plasma-Axe. SPLAT. The axe cleaved the Sentinel in half. But there was no spark, no oil. The two halves simply liquefied, merged back together, and reformed instantly. "They don't die!" Krog roared, dodging a spear-hand that shot out of the Sentinel’s chest. "It's like hitting soup!""It's Nanite Swarm Technology," Ares shouted, firing his thermal pistols. His beams turned the metal red-hot, slowing them down, but not stopping them. "They are physically adapting to our damage types! Kinetic is 0% effective!"Alex Vane landed in the center of the swarm. "If they are liquid," Alex’s Voidbreaker Arm pul
