Reckoning in the Void Rift and the Absolute Decision
My position froze rigidly in the middle of the torn dimensional rift. In the real world, Brandon's gun was pressed firmly against Elena-Beta's forehead, while the cyber broker's extraction needle continued to pierce deep into Elena-Alpha's head. The Shadow Cabinet's Black-Level Emergency Notification flashed wildly across my retina, spewing blood-red messages that stabbed at the limits of my sanity:[LETHAL WARNING: AVATAR SPLITTING IS PROHIBITED BY THE 'SHADOW CABINET'][SYSTEM CONFIRMS: ELENA-ALPHA AND ELENA-BETA CURRENTLY IN YOUR VIEW... ARE DATA ATOMIC BOMB TRIGGERS WITH SWITCHES LINKED TO APPROXIMATIONS OF ARKAN'S HEART!][ONE OF THEM IS A FAKE BOMB THAT WILL SEVER BOTH REALITIES IF APPROACHED!]"Goddammit... YOU BASTARDS!" I roared into the dimensional void.My voice cracked, trembling with overflowing rage, fear, and anguish. The dimensional air seemed to freeze beneath the killing aura radiating from me. They had twisted the situation with merciless precision. They were exploi
The Sovereign's Choice and the Burning Heart
[SYNCHRONIZATION COUNTDOWN BETWEEN TWO REALITIES: 00:04:59]The blood-red countdown stabbed into my retinas like a searing blade. The words from that damned System notification continued to echo inside my skull, tearing apart the last fragments of my sanity:To save my own life... I had to choose which Elena to kill with my own hands within five minutes?"NO... NO! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS INSANE OPTION, YOU BASTARDS?!"My scream exploded in the middle of a sea of burning server wreckage. My voice cracked, heavy with rage, frustration, and unbearable agony. The blistering heat at the center of my heart erupted like molten lava being forced through my veins. Every pounding second sent waves of torment tearing through my nervous system. My ribs creaked sharply, tensing as the two halves of the 'Rival System' inside my chest collided violently, trying to crush my heart from within.[SYNCHRONIZATION COUNTDOWN: 00:04:32][WARNING: CORE PRESSURE SURGING. HEART DAMAGE: 38%]"Arkan... i-if you h
Between Two Worlds and a Divided Soul
"ELENA!"My scream tore through the roar of the main console's explosion. My body lunged across the burning abyss of data, my left hand stretching with everything I had to catch the fingers of the real Elena as she was dragged downward."Arkan! Catch my hand!" the real Elena screamed, tears reflecting the crimson glow of the sea of data fire beneath us. Her voice cracked, filled with terror and the last remnants of hope.Our fingers touched, only for a fraction of a second!"I've got you! I won't let you go again!" I groaned, the veins in my neck bulging as I focused every ounce of my physical strength and my Master Authority.But from behind the smoke of the exploding console, the enormous three-eyed black shadow crawled upward at an abnormal speed. Its invisible claws clamped tightly around the real Elena's leg, dragging her toward the bottom of the abyss with a wild gravitational force!"ARKAN! IT HURTS! DON'T LET GO OF ME!" Elena screamed as the shadow's claws squeezed her ankle.
The Shattering of the Mirror and the Promise That Remains
"Thank you for bringing me through the main gate... Master."That cold whisper breathed directly into the gap beside my left ear, accompanied by the warmth of her breath, which suddenly transformed into freezing air.My heart seemed to stop beating in an instant.Before I could process the meaning of the word "Master" that had slipped from her lips, Elena's fingers, which had been clasping my hand, slowly loosened their grip. She took a step back with an unnaturally stiff movement, like a puppet that had just changed puppeteers.A microscopic seal behind her smooth neck burst open, glowing blood-red before releasing a web of golden threads of light that connected directly to the main console behind the throne."E-Elena...?" I whispered hoarsely. My throat felt stuffed with hot ash, and my tongue suddenly went numb."You really are such a sentimental man, Arkan," Elena continued beside me. The lips that had once often curved into a faint, loyal smile now twisted into a cold sneer that
Two Shadows and a Game of Mirrors
"Welcome to the core server, Arkan... But tell me, of the two Elenas in this room, which one did you truly save, and which one did you just bring here to destroy you from within?"The question echoed twice, shattering the silence of the vast, frigid server room. The hum of thousands of server machines and the glow of floating monitors suddenly felt like instruments of torture.It felt as though a weight of thousands of tons had crashed down on my chest. The man's words struck the most vulnerable part of my soul, the trauma of an illusion that had nearly shattered my sanity only moments ago.I felt Elena's body beside me suddenly go rigid. Her fingers, resting near her waist, curled into a tight fist until her knuckles turned white. Across the room, the woman kneeling at the end of the golden chain slowly straightened. She raised her head, revealing the pulsing red seal on her neck, and returned my gaze with crimson eyes radiating pure hatred and suffering.Two identical faces. Two gaz
The Fracture of the Soul and Zero Point
The hollow black ash from the body of the Penulis Kosan still drifted through the air, clinging to my tongue with a bitter taste that seemed to blister it. The drab boarding room suddenly swelled before collapsing into a vortex of shattered glass and wildly twisting strands of digital light.I was hurled into the vacuum, my lungs feeling as though they were being squeezed dry. Before me, the old mirror floated in place, spewing out a blood-red countdown that flickered frantically:[00:00:03...][00:00:02...][00:00:01...]"NO! ELENA!" My scream shattered the silence of the void, my voice breaking under the weight of pure desperation.I crawled through the empty air, ignoring the searing pain that exploded at the base of my skull. The microscopic seal pulsed violently, as though it were trying to rip every memory and fragment of my soul from me by force. I clutched my splitting head, staring at the mirror with wide, tear-filled eyes."Don't take her... TAKE ME! I'M THE ONE YOU WANT, YO
