Space Rift Novels & Stories

For example, Avatar does not mean a class but the term in a video game to design a playable character, the jobs represented the branches and therefore the most likely was that the rank D dungeon was a rift. "Um... This could be a problem... I just got promoted to D-rank, can I complete a rift?... Should I do it by myself?" This could really be a problem, firstly there is a huge difference between fighting random beasts and fighting in an actual rift. Rifts are home to a form of monster much more dangerous than the average in nature: disasters. Unlike the other monsters, Disasters had a form of organization, combat strategies, and a hierarchy with a monster among monsters at the top, the boss

I grabbed Valentina, shielding both her and the boy as the air split open — a violent tear in reality itself. When the light faded, the world turned wrong… The forest was gone. The sky was fractured — ribbons of dusk and dawn coiling together like serpents. Shadows floated in the air, their movements slow and graceful, and beneath us stretched a surface of glass, reflecting both moons. “The Rift Plane…” Valentina breathed, awe and dread blending in her tone. ‘This is no place for mortals. Leave. Now.’ Czer snarled within me, his voice edged with warning.

The world bent— tilted— and in a single breath, the chamber disappeared. --- They materialized on a rocky cliff overlooking a valley filled with rolling darkness. Shadow-river currents ran along the ground like ink, glowing faintly with silver veins. The sky above was nearly black except for thin fractures of pale moonlight. But Aria didn’t register any of that. Because the rift was there. Huge. Violent. Alive. A swirling tear in reality, jagged like a broken mirror, pulsing with dark light. Aria stumbled, breath stealing from her lungs. Erevan steadied her instantly with an arm around her waist.

It didn’t come from her. It came from beyond the northern border. Kael’s head snapped toward the windows. “That’s not ours.” Ash moved immediately. “Scouts just sent a mind-link.” Rex’s expression went cold. “Say it.” Ash’s voice lowered. “A rift just opened beyond the ridge.” Isabella’s stomach twisted. “A rift?” she echoed. Ash nodded grimly. “And something just stepped through.” Silence. Rex didn’t hesitate. “Arm the perimeter.” Kael was already moving.

His touch was again warm. “What the hell?” He yelled. “I—the forest is scary.” I stuttered. “Learn how to walk!” He gruffly said and let me go. “And stay away from me.” Kent sped walked the rest of the way, and I tried keeping up. Till finally, the trees became thinner, and plain grassy land came into view. We didn’t walk far before we ran into the river. “I usually transform to get through the river, we are going to have to walk on the mountains to the right here—that’s going to add another two hours.” Kent exhaled. He sounded exhausted. Ditto buddy!

Olaf quickly explained. Chase tilted his head back and noticed a faint glimmer above the large pit. It was so subtle that without someone pointing it out, it would have gone unnoticed. Chase had not seen it before, but now that he was focused, he realized it was not just a glimmer—it was a tiny spatial rift. It suddenly dawned on Chase. The so-called blessed spot was hidden within this rift. However, with the entire Forage Mountain covered by an anti-flight barrier and the rift situated at such a height, entering it seemed impossible.

Kristina is hesitant but she answered yes already since there will be no heights anymore. ________

Eldric, ever the seeker of knowledge, noted, "This rift defies conventional understanding. It's a portal to realms untouched by the cosmic archives." Sasha, feeling a strange pull, voiced, "I sense a connection, a thread linking me to this anomaly. It's like a whisper, urging us to unravel the mysteries within." Maris, his warrior instincts tingling, said, "Unknown territory always harbors both peril and promise. We must tread carefully and with unity." Seraphina, her lyre resonating with both caution and curiosity, played a tentative melody. "The rift sings a melody unknown to even the cosmic symphony. Our steps must align with its cadence."

His hands and legs trembled as he fought the urge to fly across the track and make him pay hard. The train inched forward as another loud blare sounded in the distance, this time, much closer. Both men stood their ground, heaving, unflinching, and unwilling to back off, their eyes spitting fire. The train from the other end slapped past, forcing them to abandon their feud. Dev broke the connection and backed up into the compartment with a head that felt like it was about to explode. ***

She ended the call with that. Conflux zones are areas near the rifts when they manifest. Some rifts connect to the same dimension, making them accessible from various points. Manifesting rifts tend to be unstable. Due to this, those caught in the conflux zone are often sent to a different rift. It's not uncommon for civilians to end up in rifts in other countries. Procedures and protocols have been put into place to deal with these situations. Sera looked back at the rift she exited. Several other people started to emerge. They were escorting the civilians out of the rift, even carrying them if necessary.
