WARNING: Violence described in this chapter is not suitable for younger than 18 THEY say that the beginning of the world is when God created everything in six days and He rested on the seventh day to see his making. But Ara's life started when she was born between a loving husband and wife. She had two doring boys she'd call real brothers. She had a best friend that she can share everything with. She had a stable job. Now she's merely loving her life doing what she loves. Yet blissful fate brought a dangerous man into her life. Everything changed.

Mama sighed heavily, and then she smiled at the young Aricka. “No, I always like your skin color and red hair, my baby. You bring us luck, you and Louelle, and I'm thankful that you're both growing up kind,” Mama said, while stroking young Aricka's hair. Even if I am just watching I couldn’t help but feel her caresses my hair. As if she was holding me and not that child.

From my calculations, not every account has been locked inside the game, but there are too many now. For the next hour, I paced around the room, unable to stay in one spot for long. Neither Luka nor Jake was able to access the server completely, as an outside force was blocking them. It was obvious Arcane Realm had been hacked, and their skills rivaled Luka’s and Jake’s combined effort.

Drake says. “Does it say how you will change the world, bringing the broken factions together?” I ask. He frowns at me. “Did you read it?” “No, I didn’t have to. It’s what you’re doing.” After the first night, the tension goes away and over the next week, we meet GoldMoon, the Ceryneian Hind from Greek mythology, the techrechauns, the trolls, and finally, we got to meet Lucero, the unicorn.

Oh and see what the fuck my dad is doing, if he’s not there ask about him,* I said. *Sure thing,* he said back.

The shattering of the Mirror-Earth sent a wave of "messy data" through the Swarm's local network. The arrival of the Star-Caller Ark turned that chaos into a prophecy. The Ark was a massive curve of white bone with pulsating violet veins. It looked ancient, more like a fossilized god than a war vessel. As the Ark cleared the event horizon of the Origin-Void, the "First Gate," a giant ring of compressed gravity, ignited. It didn't lead to another star system; it led into the Sub-Atomic Core of the Swarm's consciousness.

​The Lunar Ark was not a ship; it was a sarcophagus of gold and glass, buried beneath the regolith of the Tycho Crater for a century. As the Vane siblings and Lyra stepped inside, the air tasted of ancient pine needles and cold, sterile electricity. It was the "Emergency Exit" their father had built for a world that had finally ended, and as the engines hummed to life, Leo felt the violent tug of Earth’s gravity calling them back.

The Trial of the Forgotten Arks As the golden rift in the sky began to heal, leaving only a shimmering scar across the constellations, the Ark's old long-range scanners began to scream. In the command center of the Return Vessel, Leo watched the screen. Hundreds of tiny, blinking lights were appearing in the "Dead Zones" of the sector.

They think the war is over." "Or they think the harvest has begun," a voice crackled over the comms.
