Chapter 61
Sovereign of The Abyss/Manuel Sterling
Morning arrived with the antiseptic smell of the medical ward and the soft beeping of monitoring equipment. Miko woke with a jolt, momentarily disoriented before remembering where he was. Across the room, Liam snored softly, one arm flung dramatically across his face. Akiya sat cross-legged on her bed, already awake and flipping through a data tablet. Anna was nowhere to be seen."Morning, sunshine," Akiya said without looking up. "Anna's already been cleared. She's getting us breakfast."Miko stretched, wincing at the stiffness in his muscles. "Any updates on the incident?""Nothing official. But the ward's been buzzing with rumors." She finally looked up, her expression serious. "Apparently, what we faced wasn't an isolated incident. There were two other breaches reported last night—different sectors, same pattern.""Searching," Miko murmured."That's what they're saying."The door slid open, and Anna entered carrying a tray of food. Her usual quiet demeanor seemed intensified, like

Miko stood at attention alongside his teammates, all of them freshly released from medical observation."Your readings have been cleared," Hayes said without preamble, scanning the medical report on his tablet. "Though I'm told there were some... anomalies." His gaze lingered on Miko for a moment before moving on. "Fortunately for you, we don't have the luxury of extended recovery periods."He activated the display on the wall. A three-dimensional map of an Abyssal region materialized, rotating slowly to reveal unusual topography."Three days ago, our deep scanners detected anomalous energy readings from a previously unmapped section of the Abyss. Sector 17-B." He expanded a portion of the map. "The energy signature doesn't match any documented Abyssal entity or phenomenon.""Why tell us?" Akiya asked, arms crossed. "This sounds like a job for the research division.""Because, Cadet Ren, the research team we sent hasn't reported back." Hayes's expression remained neutral, but the impl

The AAU portal chamber hummed with energy, technicians making final adjustments to the coordinates for Sector 17-B. Miko checked his equipment one last time—standard-issue combat gear, emergency supplies, and communication devices designed to function in the distorted reality of the Abyss."Final checks complete," the portal operator announced. "Establishing connection now."The massive arch before them shimmered, air rippling as reality itself was folded and punctured. Unlike the chaotic tears that occurred during incursions, this was a controlled opening—a calculated risk that allowed AAU teams to venture into the Abyss on their terms.Or so they hoped."Readings stable," the operator continued. "Portal integrity at 98%. You're cleared for transit."Coordinator Hayes approached, his expression grim. "Standard protocol: maintain hourly check-ins. If we don't hear from you for three consecutive hours, we'll assume compromise and seal the entry point.""Understood," Miko acknowledged.

The ancient codex slammed shut with a thunderous boom, nearly taking Miko's fingers with it."Well, that was dramatic," Liam observed, eyebrow raised. "Did it just reject you, or is this some weird Sovereign courtship ritual?"Miko stepped back, shaking his stinging hand. "I don't think it wants to be read just yet.""A book with attitude," Akiya muttered. "That's a new one."The Keeper's featureless face somehow managed to convey disappointment. "The Codex requires proper preparation. The battery must be awakened fully before its secrets can be revealed.""Could've mentioned that before I nearly lost my fingertips," Miko grumbled.“And why does he keep calling you a battery?” Liam asked quietly.Anna was already scanning the chamber with her instruments. "This entire structure is saturated with unusual energy patterns. Nothing like standard Abyssal corruption." She looked up, excitement breaking through her usual reserve. "This could completely rewrite our understanding of the Abyss.
