Chapter 1
I DIDN’T EXPECT THIS TO HAPPEN
Part 1
On the 13th of March 2026, something strange happened while I was
sitting on my couch watching a science fiction film. The film was
about a newly formed dimension called Voralix, a place where
thoughts become reality. That idea stayed in my mind.
When I finally fell asleep, it felt different. My thoughts were louder
and heavier, like they were alive. Then I saw it, a faint red glow
forming in the darkness of my mind. A portal. When I focused on it, I
felt myself drifting deeper into sleep.
But when I woke up, something was wrong. I couldn’t move. The air
felt cold and empty. My room looked the same, but not right. The
walls seemed stretched, and the shadows were darker than usual.
Then everything started changing. My family disappeared. My wallet
turned to dust in my hands. My bed slowly sank into a black, endless
void.
My heart started racing. Every thought I had was becoming real.
Fear, loss, and darkness all appeared instantly. I tried to calm down,
but the more I thought, the worse it became. My breathing grew
heavier and my chest tightened until everything faded, and I fell
asleep again.
This time, I woke up to something worse. A massive red portal stood
in front of me, glowing like fire and pulsing like a heartbeat. It felt
like it was calling me and pulling me closer. I stepped inside.
On the other side, the world was broken. The sky was dark red, filled
with moving clouds that looked like smoke. Strange machines floated
in the air, covered in wires, gears, and glowing symbols. The ground
beneath me felt alive, shifting slightly with every step. I saw
dangerous tools, including a time device and other objects I couldn’t
understand.
When I touched the time machine, I didn’t travel anywhere. Instead, I
was forced to relive my worst memories. Every mistake and every
fear came back to me. I pulled my hand away, shaking.
Then I found a huge metallic chest glowing faintly. Inside were more
tools. I took them all, and power filled my hands. It was too much
power.
When I tried to return, I heard something behind me. It sounded like
running. Dozens of creatures twisted and shadow-like with glowing
red eyes, rushed toward me. Their screams echoed like broken
metal.
I ran and jumped through the portal. I turned back just in time and
used one of the weapons to destroy them. But something changed. I
felt it. The tools were changing me. My thoughts became violent, my
actions faster and stronger. I was no longer afraid.
When the power ran out, I rushed back to the portal, but it was gone.
Only silence remained. Then I saw a message appear in the air telling
me to return what is not mine.
I refused.
Suddenly, the ground shook. A massive creature appeared behind
me, tall and dark with glowing red eyes. Its presence made the air
feel heavy. I turned to escape, but the portal was still gone. I tried to
wake up, but nothing happened. Panic took over.
Without thinking, I threw all the tools away. The creature screamed
louder than anything I had ever heard. It became angrier and moved
closer.
I ran and jumped into the darkness beneath me, falling deeper.
Then I woke up.
I was back on my couch, everything normal, the TV still playing. I let
out a nervous laugh and told myself it was just a dream.
Then I noticed something.
In my hand was a small metallic object, glowing red.
