“You were not the first creator.”

Elena stood completely still.

The voice had come from beneath the broken world.

It wasn't loud.

It didn't need to be.

Every word seemed to shake the ground beneath her feet.

Adrian's fingers tightened around hers.

The First Mother was still on her knees.

The first ones didn't move.

Even the Guardian looked afraid.

Elena slowly turned toward the crack in the ground.

“Then who was?”

Nothing answered.

For several seconds, there was only silence.

Then the little gi

  • I Died Once to Become Her Nightmare   CHAPTER 145: THE OTHER ADRIAN

    Something stepped out of the darkness wearing Adrian’s face.For one terrible second, Elena forgot how to breathe.The stranger had Adrian’s eyes, Adrian’s mouth, and the same small scar beneath his left eyebrow. Even the way he stood was familiar.But it was not Adrian.Elena knew that immediately.The real Adrian was still on his knees in front of her, one hand pressed against his chest as black cracks spread across his skin.The copy smiled.“Hello, Elena.”Adrian tried to stand.His knees gave way.“Don’t listen to him,” he warned.The copy tilted his head.“You always say that.”Elena moved between them.“Who are you?”The stranger looked down at his hands.“Perhaps the better question is, what am I?”“Answer me.”“I am what was removed from him.”Adrian’s face went pale.Elena looked at him.“What does that mean?”Adrian shook his head.“I don’t know.”The copy laughed softly.“You know more than you think.”Behind them, the First Source began to tremble. The small silver child

    The man in the sky smiled.Not cruelly.Not kindly either.It was the smile of someone who had been waiting for a very long time.Elena stood frozen beneath him, Adrian beside her.The entire world had gone silent.Even the First Ones had stopped moving.The Guardian lowered its massive head as if recognizing something far older than itself.Lucian stared at the figure with disbelief.Eden took a step backward.“Who are you?” Elena asked.The man looked down at her.His eyes were not silver.They were not black.They were clear.Almost human.“I am the one who made the mother above the sky,” he said.Elena swallowed.“And who made you?”The man's smile disappeared.For the first time, something like sadness crossed his face.“No one.”The answer struck Elena harder than she expected.“No one?”“I was simply here.”The world trembled.The man slowly descended from the sky until his feet touched the broken ground.He looked ordinary now.An old man.Dark hair streaked with gray. Tired e

  • I Died Once to Become Her Nightmare   CHAPTER 143: THE MOTHER ABOVE THE SKY

    “Elena…”The voice echoed through the broken sky.“Come home, daughter.”Elena couldn't breathe.Her eyes remained fixed on the figure above them.The woman was too far away to see clearly.Yet Elena knew her.She had known that voice before she even understood what it meant.Her mother.The woman who had killed her once.The woman who had claimed she was trying to protect her.The woman who had hidden the truth for centuries.Now she was standing beyond the sky.And she wasn't looking at Elena.She was looking at Aurelia.The silver light inside Elena's chest suddenly burned.“Aurelia?”No answer.Elena pressed her hand against her heart.“Aurelia, talk to me.”Finally, she heard a whisper.I'm afraid.Elena froze.Aurelia was afraid.The woman who had challenged the First Ones.The woman who had nearly taken over the world.The woman who had once believed herself powerful enough to control everything.She was afraid of her own mother.Elena looked up.“Why are you afraid of her?”Au

    “Let's see if Elena can survive without me.”The words echoed through the darkness.Elena couldn't see Adrian.She couldn't see Eden.She couldn't see the Guardian.Everything had disappeared.For one terrifying moment, there was nothing.No sound.No light.No heartbeat.Then Elena heard her own breathing.Slow.Uneven.Alive.“Aurelia?”No answer.Elena reached forward.Her fingers touched nothing.“Adrian?”Silence.Panic rose inside her chest.“Adrian!”Still nothing.Then a voice whispered behind her.“You wanted to live.”Elena turned.Aurelia stood there.Alone.No army.No First Ones.No Guardian.Just her.“What did you do?”Aurelia smiled.“I removed everything that made you weak.”Elena's eyes narrowed.“You mean everyone I love.”“They were distractions.”“They are not distractions.”“They are chains.”Aurelia stepped closer.“You have spent every lifetime suffering because you were afraid to let go.”Elena shook her head.“No. I suffered because people kept taking my choi

    “If Aurelia takes herself back…”The First Mother looked at Elena with tears in her eyes.“…Elena will disappear.”Elena couldn't speak.Above her, the woman who looked exactly like her floated in the sky.Aurelia.Her original self.The creator.The beginning.The woman Elena had once been before she became human.Before the memories.Before the deaths.Before Adrian.Elena looked at her own hands.They were shaking.“So I'm not real?”Adrian immediately turned toward her.“Don't say that.”“But she is me.”“Yes.”“And I'm her.”“Yes.”“Then what am I?”Adrian stepped closer.“You're Elena.”Her eyes filled with tears.“That doesn't answer the question.”“It does to me.”Elena looked at him.Adrian took both her hands.“I don't care who you were before.”His voice was steady.“I care about who you are now.”Aurelia watched them from above.Then she laughed.“You still don't understand.”Elena looked up.“Then explain it.”“You are borrowing a life that belongs to me.”Elena's express
