Endless Paths Level 8 Novels & Stories

“That easy?” “Nothing here is easy.” Tess whispered to Lena, “She scares me.” “She should.” Sera tilted her head. “You don’t have much time.” The white screen changed. ONLY ONE PATH IS SAFE CHOOSE QUICKLY A second hallway opened behind the group. Dark. Rotting. Covered in blood stains. A foul smell poured from it. Noah gagged. “Oh no.” Kai looked at both paths. “So we either follow creepy beauty queen…” Sera smiled. “Thank you.”

Inside its crystal, the single golden path divided again. Not into two. Not into ten. Into countless shimmering roads. Every friendship. Every shared story. Every act of trust. A new path. Far beyond Anara... far beyond Lumora... far beyond every known horizon... another lonely light stirred. It had seen the growing web of lanterns spreading through the darkness. And for the first time in ages... it answered with a light of its own. The roads were no longer merely returning. They were growing. One friendship at a time. ✨

Rivers of starlight moved, mountains rose and fell in real time, and a single line of gold thread wound through it all, pulsing faintly. “You’ll need it,” said a voice beside me. I didn’t turn. I knew it was her again—the older me. “What is it?” I asked. “A path,” she said. “One you can’t see with mortal eyes. One only we can walk.” “I’m not you,” I shot back. “Not yet,” she said, and I hated the way it made my skin crawl. She pointed to where the golden thread vanished into a jagged range that looked a lot like the one we were camped in. “Follow it, and you’ll reach the Spire before it reaches you.”

"That's it. Breathe with me." She inhaled slowly. "In..." My chest fought against me. "I... can't..." "You can." She reached for my trembling hands and gently wrapped them around hers. "Feel my hands." I barely managed a nod. "Good. Now breathe with me." She took another slow breath. "In... two... three..." I tried to copy her. The air caught in my throat before finally reaching my lungs. "That's it," she encouraged. "Now breathe out. Two... three... four..."

“Because I still choose.” The corridor lights flickered. She smiled sadly. “Then choose fast.” Behind her, doors began to open. All of them. And somewhere above us, metal screamed as something massive shifted into place. The man beside me leaned close, his voice urgent. “There’s a fourth path,” he said. “One they didn’t plan for.” “Where?” I asked. He nodded toward a maintenance hatch barely visible in the floor between us. “Down,” he said. “If we jump, there’s no going back.”

Her heartbeat echoed through Aiden's mind, followed by a single, resonant sentence: > *"Wake the Moon Princess..."*> The vision snapped shut. Aiden gasped for breath, held tightly by Seraphina. "What did you see?" she asked urgently. Aiden looked up toward the burning moon, his voice trembling but clear. "Dad isn't fighting the moon... He's flying toward someone." The Devourer's head snapped toward Aiden. For the first time since its awakening, it looked genuinely alarmed. "You saw her..." it whispered. "Impossible." A slow, defiant smile spread across Aiden's face. **"The Eighth Path... I think it's leading us to her."**

Jidana was going to deactivate the Wing Regalia when Kariya had one more question. “How many roads are there.” He asked. “Many roads of every element and they all have three levels, take this one for example, this is the Wing Road, next is the Storm Road and finally the Sky Road. ’So we are on level?” asked Kariya. “That we are.” Jidana replied. “I see.” Said Kariya in a low voice. Yep.” “How do you get to the next level?” asked Kariya sounding more interested than before. “you must master the Wing Road and defeat the king of the road in battle or complete a set of tests, then you go on to the next path if you chose to.”

Another horizontal line appeared on the screen, this time in the upper area just left of the second line. “Theeee LAST ROUTE, is by running along the Shuyen Wall and Erthas Wall, and then turn south. Enter the kingdom from the North Gate to check in with the guards, and continue your way back to the Grand Square to finish. Was that clear enough for you everyone?! Let me repeat the routes for you one last time, and only this one time, children. So focus please!” Then the MC started again the route, and Darrion returned to Jai’s side.

Alex slid a piece of paper across the table with a phone number written on it. "This is all I need you to do." Baddie picked it up and started entering the number in his phone, it brought out the name. Baddie froze, “Zenith?”
