The corridor felt like a giant mouth swallowing her whole. Alina struggled, trying to plant her feet and run back to the street, but the ground beneath her was soft—like quicksand pulling her deeper. The cold was piercing, different from the air outside. This wasn’t just darkness. This was emptiness.

She tried to scream, but her voice was swallowed by the void. No echo. No walls to touch. Only the blackness devouring her further. She felt like she was falling, yet there was no wind brushing her hair. No real sensation of movement. Just the endless feeling of descent.

And then—

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Footsteps. Slow. Rhythmic. Not hers.

Alina’s heartbeat quickened. She wasn’t alone.

She tried to pinpoint the source of the sound, but there was nothing to see. Just when she started thinking it was all in her head, the footsteps grew closer. Tap. Tap. Tap. Faster. Nearer.

Then—

A whisper. Right in her ear.

"You shouldn’t be here."

Alina jolted. The voice… was too close. Too real.

And then, someth

  • The Gatekeeper

    The sky roared. The earth cracked. The distant seas boiled, though no fire burned.The creature that stepped out of the Third Gate was not merely a guardian of dimensions—it was an ancient entity, unnamed in any legend, because all who knew of it had long since perished.Its height reached the clouds. Its body was a fusion of mist and bone, its wings featherless chains dripping black blood. Horns cleaved the air, and its three faces—human, beast, and skull—shifted in and out with every word that fell from its mouths.“I am the Beginning. I am the Return. I am the Shadow of the First Light.”Darren gripped his sword, though his hand trembled. “What is that…?”Kaera looked at him with grim eyes. “That’s no mere creature. That is Zarvul’thar. The Gatekeeper. The one who created the guardians... and now comes to claim reality itself.”Seraphina, still cradling the not-yet-fully-recovered Kael, frowned. “You knew this would happen?”Kaera nodded slowly. “But I never knew... that he would c

  • Light in the Dark

    The pendant in Seraphina's hand glowed brighter, stirring the heavy, dark energy within the temple. In its soft, warm light, echoes of the past whispered faintly—a young, innocent voice of Kael. "If I ever disappear, don’t leave me alone in the dark, okay, Sera..."The voice struck at the core of the creature inside Kael’s body. The towering figure, radiating a storm-like aura, suddenly froze. His eyes—golden and blood-red—trembled. “Seraphina…” he murmured—not in the voice of the ancient being, but in Kael’s own voice, faint… as if screaming from the sunken depths of his soul.Darren, still on the ground with blood streaming from his forehead, shouted, “He’s still in there! Kael’s not gone yet!”Kaera clenched her jaw. “Then we pull him back. Now.”Maeve, appearing from the rubble, panting with trembling hands, began carving a magic circle into the ground with her own blood. “I’ll open a path into his soul. But only one can enter.”Without hesitation, Seraphina stepped forward. “Me.”

  • Legacy of Ruin

    The wind whispered like the wailing of ancient souls. Clouds spiraled into a dark vortex above, swirling around a tear in the sky where the Third Gate had begun to open. From below, they could only see flashes of blood-red and deep violet crossing paths—like angry lightning, yet silent. Soundless, but it struck the chest with unbearable pressure.Kael stood at the center of the temple’s altar, his small body now glowing blindingly bright. But behind that light… was something far older, and far more dangerous. His eyes glowed gold—not warm, but sharp, as if they could see both the future and the past in a single glance."Kael?" Darren stepped forward hesitantly. "Are you still... yourself?"Kael slowly turned his head.But the voice that answered wasn't his."Kael has been opened. The one speaking now… is the Third Heir."The voice came from within him—deep and echoing, like it rose from the abyss of time. The language was not ordinary, yet somehow they all understood it… without knowi

  • Shadow Sibling

    The night wind howled fiercely, carrying fragments of dust and blood from a battle still raging in the distance. But for Lyra, time seemed to freeze as she stared at the woman standing behind the crumbled stone ruins of the ancient temple. Her body was cloaked in a black robe with faintly glowing ancient patterns, and beneath the hood was a face she knew all too well..."Kael..." Lyra whispered, barely audible. "No, that's not... him."Kael turned as well, and instantly his steps halted. His eyes widened."I–I'm..." Kael stammered, his childish voice caught in his throat, "Who are you...?"The woman gave a faint smile. It wasn’t the smile of an enemy… but neither was it that of a friend."I am the one who should have existed, but was never born in your world, Kael," she said, her voice deep and calm, laced with bitterness. "My name... is Kaera. I am your sibling. Your shadow."Seraphina, blood still trickling from her temple, turned sharply. "Kael doesn't have a sibling!"Kaera looked

  • The Betrayer Who Rose Again

    Silence.That was the first thing felt when the shadow stepped out from behind the thicket, just a dozen meters away from where Kael stood. No sound, no breeze, but the aura radiating from its body made Lyra’s chest tighten instantly. The earth seemed to hold its breath.“No…” Seraphina whispered, her face paling. “That… that’s impossible…”Darren slowly lowered his sword, eyes widening. “I know that face. But he’s dead… I saw it with my own eyes.”The figure now stood fully under the moonlight. A tall body clad in a tattered, dark cloak singed at the edges, one side of his face destroyed—exposing a blackened skull. Yet one eye remained… intact, glowing red like burning embers.Kael froze. A flicker of emotion crossed his small face—fear, anger, and old wounds resurfacing.“Thalion…” Kael’s voice was barely a whisper. “You… you betrayed me… murdered all the members of the Ebon Wing.”Thalion smiled—a cold, crooked smile filled with satisfaction. “I only did what needed to be done, Kae

  • Child of Two Worlds 

    The sky above the world cracked open once more.But not with darkness as before—instead, it was a roaring fracture of aged gold, streaked with deep purple that spread like ink in water. From within that fissure, something… was looking back at them.Darren stepped back slowly. “That… that’s not from our dimension.”Maeve gripped her spear tightly. “It’s not a shadow… this is deeper than that. More ancient.”Seraphina took a deep breath, her eyes sharpening. “The second gate… it doesn’t belong to the creatures of darkness we fought earlier. This… this is something even the ancient Guardians once feared.”Meanwhile, little Kael—his body now seemingly a living symbol of two opposing forces—began to tremble. His eyes shimmered red and blue. He stared up at the sky in fear, though he didn’t understand what he was seeing.Lyra held him tightly. “You’re safe now… I’ll protect you.”But before she could finish her sentence—BOOM!!!The sky split completely.From the massive rupture, a colossal
