Adrian's screams rang throughout the office. The employees looked down. Adrian's steps came back closer to the presentation board, which showed a decline in profit related to his company's engagement in the fashion sector.
"Think about your mistakes! Down nearly 50% from last month's revenue?! You guys are completely useless!"
Adrian chose to leave the meeting room. His anger radiated from the footsteps that seemed in a hurry and occasionally kicking the trash along the hallway.
Apart from that, he also drives the car as if possessed by a professional racer. Several times the horns and screams of other motorists were heard along the streets of New York. Adrian crashed into a road divider when the car was parked at a nightclub.
"What a night! Don't stare at me like that!" shouted Adrian, pointing to the security guard about to approach him.
Adrian stepped into the club without guilt. The goal is clear; he just wants to spend the night drinking alcohol until he gets drunk.
"Give me five bottles of beer and watch over me; every time you finish, you have to prepare it immediately without me having to scream!" said Adrian to the bartender.
"It seems that tonight is very heavy for you."
Adrian turned to the source of the voice, where a man was sitting next to him, wearing an all-black shirt with pale skin and gray hair. The man seemed to smile coldly and offered his hand to Adrian.
"Who are you?"
"That is not important. Just shake my hand as a sign of introduction," said the man.
Adrian followed the man's wish. At the same time, Adrian's ordered beer arrived, and he quickly downed a bottle of beer.
"By the way, I just wanted to give this to you," the blue-eyed man took out a business card and handed it to Adrian. "Come, and your anxiety will disappear."
"What's this? Are you promoting a striptease place? I appreciate that, but I wasn't in the mood to come there. I've ordered a lot of beers tonight, and I don't need a woman to cheer me up," Adrian muttered.
The man chuckled and shook his head. "No, I'm not a stripper agent. Come if you feel like you need help fixing your problem. I give this only to people in need like you."
Adrian looked at the man and raised an eyebrow. "Is it able to solve the problem of a company that is almost bankrupt?"
"All of your problems. If you have come, then you will thank me."
“Don’t be joking. No one can solve my problem. You're just a fraud looking for a victim.”
The man patted Adrian on the shoulder and approached the crowd dancing behind them. He didn't respond at all to Adrian's sentence that doubted his offer.
After several minutes of ignoring the business card, Adrian finally got distracted again and stared at the black card that contained an address. He turned his head back to look for the man but to no avail.
"This is weird. Do I have to go?"
The world felt different after the cavern—quieter, softer, almost as if the air breathed with less weight. Emily didn’t know if it was her perception or if something about reality itself had shifted when the Light Source finally released its grip. All she knew was that morning sunlight felt warmer than she remembered.She stood on the small balcony of the cabin they’d taken refuge in—deep in the forest, far from cities, far from the cracks between realms—watching the sun climb slowly over the distant treeline. The breeze played with her hair, brushing the back of her neck with a gentleness that felt like a blessing she didn’t know she needed.Behind her, soft footsteps approached.Adrian leaned against the doorframe, still unsteady in the mornings, still wrapping a blanket around his shoulders like his body hadn’t fully caught up to the warmth of this world. His chest rose slowly, as if savoring every inch of air he inhaled. A faint gold shimmer lingered in the scar that now marked th
The light roared like a collapsing universe the moment Emily wrapped her arms harder around Adrian’s trembling body. The Source surged around them, its glow rising in towering waves that shook the dimension with the force of a dying star refusing to let go of the last two sparks that defied its will.Emily tightened her hold until her wrists hurt, burying her face against Adrian’s shoulder, refusing to let the light pry even a single inch between them. His breath shuddered against her collarbone, painfully uneven, a sound that made her chest feel like it was splintering.He was cold—colder than she had ever felt him. The kind of cold that didn’t belong to flesh but to souls left suspended in places they weren’t meant to survive.“Emily…” His voice cracked, rough and fading, like he was speaking through layers of frost. “You… shouldn’t be here…”She lifted her head, cupping his frozen face with both shaking hands, her forehead pressed to his. “Stop saying that,” she whispered fiercely.
The path did not appear as a doorway or a tunnel or even a shift in the stone. It unfolded like a tear in reality—thin, silent, shimmering—stretching open as Emily stepped forward. The white light curled around her ankles first, winding up her calves in slow spirals that felt like fingers tracing ancient sigils into her skin. She inhaled shakily, bracing herself, but the moment her foot crossed into the rift, the cavern behind her vanished. No sound. No echo. No Lilith. No First Shadow. No stone. No air. Just a sweeping wave of brightness that swallowed everything, pulling her into a realm that felt vast and crushingly empty all at once.The ground beneath her feet wasn’t ground at all—it was a surface of shifting luminescence, like walking on the inside of a star. Nothing had edges. Nothing had shape. The horizon melted into itself. The sky—if it was a sky—was a gradient of white and pale gold that pulsed in slow breaths, as if this entire dimension was an enormous living organism.E
The light didn’t wait for her. It pulsed once—slow and deliberate—like a lung inhaling the entire cavern, and Emily felt the pull wrap around her spine before she could fully steady her breath. Still, she forced her steps forward, one shaky movement after another, refusing to let fear take the lead even as her pulse hammered loud enough to drown out the cavern’s distant rumble.Each step she took felt heavier, as though the light dense in the air thickened around her bones, but she didn’t stop; she couldn’t stop—not with Adrian’s heartbeat flickering in the back of her mind like a dying lantern begging for someone to shield its flame.Behind her, Lilith stood silently, eyes narrowed—not in warning, but in a solemn acknowledgment that what Emily was doing was something no one else could help her with. And the First Shadow watched without a trace of hostility, its massive form half-silhouetted against the glow, posture lowered in a strange, unnerving reverence as if witnessing a coronat
