"To enter this room, you have to use the employee code given by the personnel department and then replace it with a code you created yourself, sir. A kind of pa*sword that only we ourselves know. Could it be ..." "Audrey forgot her own code? Maybe she didn't change hers?" asked Liam confused. Nea nodded hesitantly. "This is only the first day, sir." Liam growled in annoyance. "I will recover the original pa*sword and use my own pa*sword," said Liam. Nea immediately turned her back to Liam while her boss processed the pa*sword recovery on the door. The authority to recover pa*swords on all computer systems, doors and locked cupboards in the Keagan World building is only owned by Liam and th

"More challenges? We need to identify these entities and understand their intentions." Maris, her form shimmering like a cascading waterfall, remarked, "The Liquid Realms sensed it too. Water has memory, and these entities... they're ancient, from a time even before the Void." The emissary of the Void, its form oscillating like a cosmic dance, voiced, "These are remnants of the Primordial Epoch. Beings of pure energy, neither malevolent nor benign. They simply... are." Alec inquired, "How do we approach them?"

She spat. The sneer widened. "Very good indeed." Astasha's mind went haywire. This couldn’t be happening. From what she had read, a person who died, and was somehow brought back, could carry with them an entity from the other side, a creature of corruption who could share their body, or if strong enough, take it over completely. Of all the spells and scrolls she had studied though, nothing had prepared her to come face to face with one. "What did you do to Calder?"

Shadows coalesced in the corners of the room, and an eerie silence settled as the ethereal forces manifested. The first entity, known as Umbra, materialized as a shroud of darkness that enveloped Gaius. A voice, ancient and haunting, echoed through the chamber, promising dire consequences for those who dared defy the throne. The very air seemed to thicken as Umbra's influence spread, casting a pall over Maximus and his allies.

At first it looks like twisted metal. Then it moves. Eight feet tall. Four long limbs braced like an animal. Its surface looks like fractured glass and dark alloy, constantly shifting shape like liquid steel trying to remember how to be solid. Where a head should be— There’s just a rotating ring of light. The thing tilts slightly. As if studying us. The crowd behind us freezes. Someone whispers, “What is that?” The partitioned presence answers inside Aidan’s mind. External construct. Non-biological. Combat simulation entity.

The body was Maeve’s, but the eyes… they were hers, but older, wiser, and somehow sadder. You can’t trust me, she—or it—said. Cade froze. “What… what are you?” I am what happens when choices fracture. I am her consciousness… and hers… and what remains of me trapped here. He swallowed. His mind screamed. He realized that the Entity wasn’t just a being—it was a network, a hive of consciousnesses, and some of them were people he trusted. Maeve, Lila, Adrian—fragments had been absorbed, twisted, and released back as weapons.

The room fell into heavy silence except for everyone’s breathing. Rex looked down at me immediately. “What happened?” I stared at the unconscious wolf, heart hammering painfully. “I saw something.” Kaelen’s expression sharpened. “What kind of something?” I swallowed hard. “I think…” My voice shook slightly. “I think there’s another entity connected to the Axis.” Ash blinked. “Another?” “That one from earlier said it chose control,” I whispered. “But this…” My stomach twisted violently. “This felt different.” Rex’s hand remained firm against my back. Grounding. Protective.

“We’re invoking a procedure, Jake so don't make us cite the bedrock My stomach dropped.I knew that tone. It was the sound of a trap snapping shut. “No,” I said, though my voice lacked its previous fire. “You’re not.” The woman’s eyes gleamed. “We are.” She lifted a thin tablet, etched with markings so old they barely registered as language anymore. “Emergent entity clause. Pre-pack. Pre-alpha. Pre-keeper.” I stared at it. “That clause was retired after the great culling.” “It was buried, not erased,” she corrected. I could hear my own heartbeat now slow and heavy.

“BRING. HER. BACK.” The entity flickered harder. “She has entered synchronization.” “Then unsynchronize her!” “It cannot be undone.” That word hit me like a blade. “Explain,” I demanded. A low hum vibrated beneath my feet. Something deep below—machinery or something alive—was moving. “Where is she?” I growled. The entity formed enough of a face to look at me. “Beyond you.” “That’s not an answer.” “It is the only one I possess.” I stepped forward, voice shaking. “You think I won’t tear every chamber in this place apart? I’ll rip through walls, floors—I’ll burn this whole structure to ash if I have to.”

she continued, her discomfort as transparent as her eyes. “Do you have a teeth fetish I should know about?” I teased, raising a questioning brow that made her roll her eyes as she pulled my hand from her hair to bite a finger in warning. “You’re more of a wolf than I am.” “Maybe I am,” Iris teased, making me snort. “I could be. You said there are dormant bloodlines!” “There are,” I admitted with a nod, trying not to laugh in her face as she watched me expectantly. “But the stench of human is literally soaked into your bones, babe. There’s no way you’re mixed with anything outside of your species.”
