"Gwyneth, did I ever mention that you're as good as dead once I'm out?" Gwyneth winced as the blood from her right cheek ran down her face and dripped onto her pants. She looked around and saw no high-rises in sight. They had to be in the suburbs. "Let me go, and I'll forget what happened today," she said. Liana sneered and pressed the knife against Gwyneth's throat. "You've finally landed in my hands. Do you really think I'll just let you go? How about a little game?"

I stood by the window, feeling strangely disoriented, as if I were in another lifetime. "Happy New Year, Zachary," Melissa said, leaning closer. Her warm breath brushed against my ear, making it tingle. I turned to meet her deep gaze. At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and my heart skipped a beat. "Happy New Year, Melissa." She leaned even closer to my ear and whispered, "I like you." Outside, the fireworks continued to bloom, their brilliant colors reflecting on both our faces.

I knew this might be the last chance I'd see Joey in real life. She was now a CEO and one of the wealthiest people in the world. She was no longer a person living in the same world as me. Soon, she'd be moving her company headquarters overseas, and moving overseas with Marcus. If I wanted to see her, I could only see her through public advertisement screens, and only know about her situation through the news. Thinking about this, my heart hurt so badly that I could barely breathe. Not far away, Joey straightened up, then bent down again to carry a little girl about 5 years old out of the car.

Wesley leaned closer. "What is that?" "I don't know." The symbol began to glow. A miniature image appeared. Elarion. Then the Celestial Realm. The Mirror Realm. The Wild Realm. The Silent Realm. The First World. And finally... A realm I had never seen before. It was completely white. No stars. No moons. No oceans. Only an enormous golden door. I stared at it. "That's new." Wesley's expression became serious. "Very new." The leaf dissolved.

“What are they sucking?” “Human blood,” she said, not skipping a beat. She laughed as she saw my face. “There are humans that um, we work with to get blood for them.” Chills ran down my spine. “All of these happened on Earth?” “Yes, in the overworld,” she replied. “We have here, the other world, the overworld and well, the heavens.” “So, what should I expect exactly? How do classes go?” “I don't know,” Alstra shrugged. “But don't worry we'll figure it out together.”

The air crackled with an unnatural energy colors unseen by human eyes, sounds that resonated deep within their minds. They had done it: activated the portal, but now they were caught in a realm where the rules of physics, time, and morality no longer applied. This was the dimension of the Dimensional Drift, a place where every possibility existed simultaneously, where multiple versions of themselves coexisted, each with their own memories, desires, and fears.

Immediately I released his hand from my grasp and I wrapped my hand around his flat stomach. "Erin, if you still want to be with me tell me where you come from," After sighing, Erin also told him about her past. It turned out that there had been civilizations dating back tens of thousands of years. There was chaos that killed almost all the inhabitants of this world. Erin and the remaining hundreds of people then gather energy to reset the world. Some people including Erin were chosen to watch over the world as gods and goddesses and the rest settled in places that even Erin didn't know about.

The lingering scent of the store clung to his clothes, and a price tag dangled from his trousers. He headed towards the roadside, hoping to hail a passing cab while continuing his conversation with the system. "I remember the blonde girl, Emberlyn. She mentioned something about the country we were in calling itself Arcanum. What exactly is that place?" Keagan inquired, his curiosity piqued. "The world you encountered operates under the same physical laws as your own, except for the presence of the system. That is all you need to know," the system replied with an air of mysteriousness.

“I’m afraid I can’t call the Librarian’s off. They aren’t entirely a part of this world. All they know is hunger and the desire to protect this place and its secrets. I’ll help the others along as much as I can. Until then, we have some things to discuss.” “How are they not a part of this world? They seemed pretty real to me.” I muttered, “Breath and all.” Orion went to elbow me lightly. I scooted out of his way, snarling and swatting at him. “There’s hundreds of thousands of different realms. Really, the number is infinite.” Ismene explained, passion warming her musical voice. “However, there is one that mirrors our realm, and this library is sort of a bridge between the two. It’s somewhat

“He’s on his word.” “What world? Which world? What are you talking about? Just answer my question, Adeline.” Did I say he’s impatient too? “You see, we’re in this world. And he is in another world. Another dimension is the parallel world. Whatever you call it, We have an interdimensional relationship.” I replied, and I saw how confused he was. Then he turned to look at my brother and friend. “You don’t seem confused; do you know about this?” He asked the two, who also nodded. “Since when?”
