STELLAR RIFT
In a distant future where humanity has colonized distant planets, Velora is a world on the edge of both progress and decay. Among the barren deserts and towering, high-tech cities, four teen boys find themselves caught in a cosmic mystery. Kade, a brooding loner with a criminal past; Jett, a tech genius hiding a crippling fear of failure; Orin, a psychic dreamer who can’t control his visions; and Zane, a soldier’s son haunted by a family tragedy, are each drawn together by a mysterious alien artifact that crashes on their planet.
The artifact isn’t just a piece of foreign technology—it’s a doorway to a massive, glowing rift in the sky. This tear in reality leads to otherworldly dimensions, each more dangerous and bizarre than the last. As the boys unlock the secrets of the rift, they begin to realize that its power may hold the key to their survival—or the destruction of their entire galaxy.
As they journey across shattered worlds and uncover hidden factions vying for control of the rift, the boys must confront their deepest fears and darkest secrets. The rift warps time, space, and even their own abilities, pushing them to the brink as they battle alien creatures, ancient magic, and rival forces who will stop at nothing to control the power within.
With the fate of their world hanging in the balance, Kade, Jett, Orin, and Zane must decide whether they can trust each other—or whether they’re just pawns in a much larger

Chapter: Chapter 10: Echoes Beyond the RiftOne month later.The town had returned to normal—at least, on the outside.Jett sat at the edge of the school rooftop, his feet dangling over the edge. The wind blew gently, rustling his hoodie. He watched the sunset paint the sky in orange and purple.It should’ve felt like peace.But part of him still felt empty.Zane joined him, carrying two sodas. “You keep sneaking up here like a moody superhero.”Jett chuckled softly. “Just thinking.”Zane handed him a drink. “About Kael?”Jett nodded. “I keep hoping… maybe he’s still out there. Somewhere.”Orin climbed up next, holding a bag of chips. “The world almost ended, and you’re still emotional.”“I’m allowed to miss someone,” Jett said.“Yeah,” Orin said. “I miss him too.”Kade showed up a few minutes later, quieter than the others. He had been different since the Rift collapsed. Calmer, wiser. He said he remembered lifetimes of echoes—shards of lost worlds that lived in his head now.“Something strange is happening,” Kade said, sittin

Chapter: Chapter 9: The Shadow of PeaceThe sky was bright and peaceful. Birds flew in circles, and the grass danced in the wind.It felt like a dream.Jett sat under a tree with his hands behind his head, staring up at the clouds.Kael lay nearby, finally sleeping peacefully.Zane and Orin were throwing rocks into a stream that sparkled like diamonds.Everything was calm. Too calm.“You ever wonder if this is real?” Orin asked.Zane paused. “Yeah. Every second.”Jett stood. “Let’s find Kade.”They walked through the peaceful land. Everything was green and glowing. Butterflies flitted through the air. The sun was warm on their backs.But the peace started to feel strange.The trees were too perfect.The birds chirped in patterns.Even the grass felt fake—like it repeated itself.“This is weird,” Zane said.They found Kade standing at the top of a hill, staring at the sky.“What are you looking at?” Jett asked.Kade didn’t move.“Kade?” Orin touched his shoulder.Kade turned slowly, his eyes wide. “I can’t feel the Rift anym

Chapter: Chapter 8: The Tower of Echoes
The wind howled across the alien world as the boys stood at the edge of a cliff, staring at the broken tower in the distance.“That’s where it ends,” Jett said quietly.The tower stretched into the sky, tilted like it had been hit by a giant. Chunks of its walls floated in the air around it, held up by the same strange energy that powered this whole world. From its top, black smoke spiraled into the purple clouds above.“That place is alive,” Kael whispered, rubbing his arms. “I can feel it watching.”Zane flexed his fingers, energy dancing over his skin. “Then let’s go say hello.”They made their way through a forest of shattered glass trees. The air crackled. The deeper they went, the stranger the world became. Plants shimmered and disappeared when touched. The ground changed color with every step. Somewhere in the distance, something howled—a sound that didn’t belong in any world.“I have a bad feeling,” Orin said.“You always do,” Zane replied.“No, I mean it. This place is wrong.

Chapter: Chapter 7: Shadows After LightThe Rift was gone.Or at least, that’s what the world believed.Three boys stood on a mountaintop under a clear blue sky. Below them, the land was healing. Trees grew back. Rivers flowed again. The twisted energy that once crawled across the ground was fading fast.Jett, Zane, and Orin stood in silence, their faces pale and tired.Kade was gone.None of them had spoken about it yet. Not really. No one wanted to be the first to say it out loud. That their best friend had given up everything to seal the Rift.They’d tried to argue, tried to take his place. But Kade had stepped forward first. And then, just like that, he had disappeared into the light.Zane kicked a rock down the slope. “We should be happy. We won.”Orin crossed his arms, his jaw tight. “Doesn’t feel like it.”Jett didn’t speak. He stared out into the distance, lost in thought. The Rift’s power still pulsed in his veins—faint now, like an echo—but it hadn’t left him completely. He could still feel things. Tiny shifts in

Chapter: Chapter 6: Mirror of the RiftKade hit the ground hard, the breath knocked out of him. The world around him spun in fragments—colors twisted into shapes he couldn’t name, and time seemed to drip like melting wax. He groaned and pushed himself up.He wasn’t in the void anymore.He stood on a rocky cliff under a black sky filled with red stars. Strange floating islands drifted overhead, and a giant crack in the sky pulsed like a heartbeat. Below him, the land burned. Rivers of glowing energy snaked across scorched earth, and shadows moved like they were alive.He was alone.“Orin? Zane? Jett?” he called out, his voice echoing strangely, as if the world was listening. “Where are you guys?”A voice answered, but it wasn’t one he expected.“You’ve finally arrived.”Kade turned. Standing a few feet away was… himself. But not quite. The other Kade was older, taller, and wore a suit made of crystal and steel, glowing with the same energy that bled from the Rift.“You’re me,” Kade said, confused.“No,” the double said calm

Chapter: Chapter 5: The Prophecy UnraveledThe journey through the cavern stretched on, but no one spoke. The tension hung thick between the four boys like an invisible fog. Their every step echoed against the cold, smooth walls, and the rhythmic pulse of the spire behind them faded into the distance. Orin’s vision still weighed heavily on Kade’s mind, the cryptic words of the Keeper echoing in his thoughts.One must fall, and all await.What did it mean? Who would have to die? Or was there a way to escape the sacrifice altogether?The deeper they moved, the more the air seemed to thrum with energy. It wasn’t the gentle hum they had felt near the spire, but something darker, more foreboding. The walls of the cavern were slick with moisture, and the faint glimmer of crystals seemed to flicker as they passed, like dying stars. Kade’s skin prickled.“I don’t like this,” Zane muttered, glancing around. “It feels wrong down here. Like we’re being watched.”“We are being watched,” Jett said quietly, adjusting the settings on his wri
