The fighting stilled the moment Gojo teleported in front of Professor Xavier. His expression was unreadable, but his presence alone was enough to silence both factions. He glanced at Rogue, his voice slipping gently into her mind.
'Are you alright?'
Rogue blinked in surprise, but quickly answered back within the mental link, 'I'm okay.' In the real world, she gave him a small nod of reassurance.
Gojo's gaze swept over the other X-Men, lingeri...

The stone structure pulsed again.
Riven's eyes lingered on it, his thoughts were spiraling. 'Why does it feel so strange?' It wasn't just the light that felt weird, it was the rhythm itself that make it strange. A pulse that seemed to echo inside his ribs.
'It almost feels like a living heartbeat.'
The light kept on pulsing through the chamber, and he stared for too long, entranced by it, until the roar shattered his focus again. It ripped th...

Rage. That was all Wanda felt at the moment.
Her magic still burned through her veins in its raw and unrefined form, responding to her emotional state as she glared at the three who had only just snapped free of Gojo's mental control. Pietro's chest heaved with sweat dripping down his temple, while Blob and Pyro staggered like drunks shaking off a nightmare.
It had taken her nearly twenty minutes to undo the bindings Gojo had left in their minds with little l...

Penny hissed as he shot up from the circle, raking his hands through his hair in frustration.
“Okay, fuck this. This isn’t working at all.”
Alice glanced at Julia with knitted brows. “Are you sure we’re doing this right?”
Julia sighed, hugging her arms. “Marina never exactly told me how the spell was supposed to be performed. I just… I only know the requirements. The rest we’re winging it, going off what we saw in the Librar...

The sound cut out as suddenly as it had begun.
Riven froze, puzzled by the sudden silence. He tried to listen again but there was nothing. Not even the wind dared stir. He exhaled shakily, trying to steady his chest. 'Whatever that was, maybe it filled itself on the Deviant it devoured… maybe it just went back to sleep.'
The rock beneath his palm shivered.
Thud.
His eyes snapped downward, then along the cliff face as anothe...

Riven groaned as he dragged himself upright, every muscle screaming in protest. His chest heaved in pain with each breath he took, ribs grinding together like stone plates. His knees wobbled beneath him, refusing to lock, but still he pushed forward step by stubborn step toward the faint outline of the cavern entrance.
He made it a few feet.
Then his body betrayed him. His legs buckle as strength fled and he collapsed hard onto the stone. A raw grunt tore fro...

Riven pressed himself deeper into the shadows, forcing his breaths shallow so the sound wouldn't betray him. The stench of ichor still clung to his skin, thick and putrid, masking his scent just enough to make him feel invisible, though he knew that if those fractured, glass-like eyes swept his way, no camouflage in the world would save him.
The compound eyes of the towering Deviant swept the dark like lanterns of shifting prisms, shards of fractured glass turning in their so...

Riven stirred awake to a world of dull ache all over. For a moment he thought he had finally died, that the darkness around him was permanent and unbroken.
'Is this… what the emptiness of the afterlife feels like… thought there'd be some light and all?'
Then came the faint, steady rhythm of his breath. And sharper still, the knife of pain riding along his ribs.
'Owwwwww… no. I definitely felt that.'
He groaned and dragged himself ...

Riven's chest heaved as he pressed his back against the cold stone. The crevice seemed to close in on him, suffocating, like he'd been swallowed whole by the ribs of some titanic beast. Every inch of him screamed in pain from his cracked ribs, his throbbing legs, the deep gash above his eyebrow where blood had reopened and now trickled warm and sticky down his face.
The pickaxe lay across his chest, the only anchor of reassurance in this black abyss.

The corridor spat him out like a ragdoll, his body rolled for a bit before colliding against jagged stone. Pain flared through his back and ribs, and for a moment he could only lie there, gasping in short, ragged bursts. The air felt heavy, almost suffocating and it was filled with a damp, mineral tang that clung to his tongue and nostrils. The same smell that came of newly mined Lumenis. Every inhale felt like it dragged stone dust down his throat.
After a while of laying st...

Morning came with a haze of gray light pressing through the broken shutters. The air in the other side of outer sector was always thick with soot and iron, that was the particular effect of the mines of Vorath.
The Industrial Forge City had earned its name honestly. Beneath its foundations, in the jagged black rock that plunged endlessly into the earth, lay the veins of lumenis. When the first incursion tore open the skies and spilled lumen into the world, most of it scattere...

Riven sat through the last of the instructor's words with a blank face, refusing to give him the satisfaction of another reaction. By the time the dismissal came, he didn't even bother answering or arguing with the man and just rose from the chair, aching in every joint, and left without a backward glance causing the man to sigh at his behavior. His ribs burned from the beating he had taken earlier, and there was a dull throb lingering at the back of his skull where the floor had met it viole...

Veylin Institute, an academy built at the edge of Vorath's eastern quarter. Here, most children in Vorath were placed to not only study but also learn the rudiments of Anatomy, Biology, Aura control, Lumen flow, and basic survival combat. The very foundation upon which future warriors or scholars of the realm would rise.
"Silence!"
The barked word snapped the air, and the classroom hushed. Their instructor, Arven, stood at the front with his arms folded. He w...

'They say the world was broken long before I was born. That when the first Corridors split open and vomited chaos into our skies, humanity was nothing more than prey scrambling in the ruins of its own arrogance. Perhaps that is true. But I was not born into a world of helpless preys. I was born into a world sharpened by survival and carved by war.
Ten years ago, when I was six, a calamity struck the left wing of the Archetype continent, Vorath the forge-city. My home.

Full synopsis:
Before the first dawn, there was a silence deeper than time, and from that silence came the pulse that shaped all things. Yet what begins in light always casts a shadow and in that shadow waits the breath of Nothing.
A broken world struggles to endure, scarred by forces no tongue dares name. Corridors split the earth, beasts crawl from forgotten fragments, and the last embers of mankind cling to the stolen fire.

Back in the original world, inside the Brakebills common room, Julia and Quentin sat slouched on the couch. Their voices had just finished running through the impossible alternate timelines, Jane Chatwin and how they had all died thirty-nine times already.
Margo, leaning against the wall with a drink in her hand, let out a sharp laugh. “Well, that’s a fucked-up rollercoaster if I’ve ever heard one.”
Eliot tipped his flask back, raising an eyebrow. “...

Julius woke with a ragged gasp, the sound tearing out of him like he'd surfaced from drowning. He sat bolt upright with his chest heaving, his eyes darting wildly around trying to make out where he was. His body trembled with a primal fear he couldn't name. He had collapsed out of nowhere and had been trapped in his own mind till now.
He sighed in relief seeing as he was still in the warehouse but something was odd, it was quiet. Too quiet. No Devan pacing around, no Travis m...

We had found the girl.
She was rolling with the exact people the boss had described for us well, maybe except one. That thought kept running through Travis’s head as he stood across the street, staring at the apartment building in front of him. Inside, right now, was Kady. The one the boss had told them to watch. The one tangled up with a bunch of lunatics who, wait for it… were trying to summon a fucking god.

The pain of having her virginity forcibly taken was too much for her to bear, prompting a scream from the tear-riddled woman that managed to claw its way out of her throat. "It's so fucking thick!"

Esther laid on the bed, her mind was burning as her body was motionless, Jason fucking her for endless hours nonstop. Long ago she lost count of how many times she cummed, only that she tried to hold on for dear life. She knew at any moment she would pass out and that moment would be soon.
After hours Jason felt his balls churn. With one final thrust, he pushed through Esther's womb, pumping his load at point blank into her womb. Surge after surge of cum filled her up, drench...

The first thing Kai did when he stepped into the Plover estate was raise his hand and mutter a string of words that shimmered blue light across the walls. He immediately used the compound purification spell to cleanse the whole estate. A wave rippled outward from his body, shaking dust from the rafters as the stagnant, cursed air broke apart. A sound like glass cracking filled the house, and suddenly the loop spell snapped. The trapped children's souls were released, no longer condemned to re...

A month had passed since the tragedy that shattered Kady’s world. Losing her mother left her hollow in ways she hadn’t been prepared for. Their relationship had always been complicated, strained, messy, full of sharp edges and silences. But beneath all of it, Kady knew her mother had loved her. And she had loved her back even more so. That’s what made it cut so deep. Love, no matter how imperfect, still bled when torn away. And now she had no one left.

The Chambre had released him at last, though for some reason his mind felt heavier than before but least he was able to give them something to prepare.
