Chapter 1 – The Forest of Three Suns
Ahh
Too much light.
Sara blinked for a while before regaining her senses, the world around her was spinning. Above her,three suns burned — one crimson, one silver, one deep blue. The air shimmered, with a various energies all round.
A voice spoke inside her head, calm and cold:
"Host reactivated. Welcome back to World 017."
Her head throbbed. "Who's there?"
"System 0.7. Your stabilizer unit. Mission: repair spatial imbalance and restore world equilibrium within 365 days. Failure will result in dissolution."
Sara sat up, breathing hard. Her fingers sank into silver grass. "Dissolution? That sounds… fun."
"Sarcasm detected. Recalibrating host emotional readings."
"Great. I got stuck with a smart-mouthed calculator."
Something glimmered beside her — a floating crystal sphere, pulsing with soft light. When she touched it, images flashed: ruins, battlefields, a man's voice whispering, Find me.
And then — a ripple in her chest. A space opened, vast and endless. Stars, floating islands, and a garden of faint blue light spread before her inner sight.
"Detected: Dimensional space link. Access granted."
She didn't understand it, but she felt it: this place was hers. And somewhere in it, something — or someone — was waiting.
