Into the Abyss: The Rise of the Malevolent Player Chapter 131: A Battle Between Selves
Aiden's POV AidenI can barely breathe. The air feels thick, oppressive, pressing in on my chest like the weight of a thousand storm clouds. I stare at Aiden Prime, my doppelgänger, the twisted version of myself who embraces the Abyss and wields its power as though it’s a natural extension of his very being. His smile—cold, cruel—cuts into me like a blade.“You’re an anomaly, Aiden. This world doesn’t need two of us.”His voice, so much like mine yet so foreign, sends a chill down my spine. I can feel the weight of his words sinking into me, each syllable a reminder of how far I’ve fallen from the person I used to be. How far he’s fallen, too, but in a different direction—one I can’t follow.Mila grips my arm, her fingers tight around my bicep. I can feel her pulse, frantic against my skin, as her breath hitches in fear. I want to reassure her, tell her we’ll find a way out of this, but the words die in my throat. I don’t know if I can.I glance at her, meeting her gaze. There’s terr
Into the Abyss: The Rise of the Malevolent Player Chapter 132: The Hollow Void
Aiden's POV AidenI don't know when it happens. One moment, I’m lying on the ground, gasping for breath as blood stains my shirt, my chest burning from the deep wound Aiden Prime inflicted. The next, I’m… gone.There’s nothing. No air, no sound, no pain. Just an overwhelming emptiness that swallows me whole. It feels like I’m floating, weightless, drifting through an endless void. Time doesn’t exist here. I can’t feel my body. I can’t feel anything. Not the agony from the blade that pierced my side, not the fear that gripped me as my vision blurred into darkness.I try to move. I try to find something—anything—to hold on to, but there’s nothing. There’s only the void.Am I dead?The thought flickers in my mind, fleeting like a shadow. But I don’t feel dead. There’s no peace here. No light. No finality. It’s just... nothing. I don’t even know if I have a body anymore.I close my eyes—or at least, I think I do. Is there even such a thing as an eye in this place?And then, a voice.It’
Into the Abyss: The Rise of the Malevolent Player Chapter 133: A New Aiden Rises
Aiden's POV I feel the power surging through me, a new kind of energy. It’s nothing like before—nothing like what I used to think of as my strength. No, this feels deeper, darker, and yet... more controlled. Every inch of me hums with it, the raw essence of the Abyss itself, but it doesn’t consume me. I am not its prisoner. I am its master.I stand taller, the ground beneath me trembling as if it, too, can sense the change. I feel Mila’s eyes on me, her breath catching in her throat. She’s staring at me as if I’m someone she doesn’t recognize—and maybe, in a way, I am. This power, this new version of me... it's different. But I can feel it in my bones—it’s me. It’s my choice. My will.And it’s something Aiden Prime will never understand."You shouldn't exist," Aiden Prime snarls, his voice dripping with venom. His hands tremble slightly, but his eyes burn with fury. The darkness in his gaze is a reflection of the Abyss—his abyss. But it’s not the same as mine. His is a chaos that con
Into the Abyss: The Rise of the Malevolent Player Chapter 134: The True Master of the Abyss
Aiden's POV The air thickens. The world seems to hold its breath.I feel it—the shift, the pressure of something ancient and undeniable crawling through my veins, sinking into my very bones. The rift in the sky widens, and from it, the creature emerges. It isn’t like anything I’ve ever seen. It isn’t human, or even a beast. It’s pure void—darkness given shape, shadow and nothingness made real. The essence of the Abyss itself, formed into something more terrifying than any nightmare.Mila grips my hand tightly, her fingers trembling, but I don’t let go. Her fear is palpable, but I can’t afford to show any of my own. Not now. Not when we’re facing... this.Aiden Prime, for the first time since our clash began, falters. His confident posture cracks, and even he seems unnerved by the sheer presence of this being. For the first time, I see a flicker of genuine fear cross his face—a fear that isn’t aimed at me. But at this... thing.It steps forward, its form fluid and ever-changing. It d
Into the Abyss: The Rise of the Malevolent Player Chapter 135: The Abyss’ Final Trial
Aiden’s POV“You have one choice left.”The voice slithers through the void, echoing from nowhere and everywhere at once. It is not a voice made of sound, but of existence itself—a vibration deep in my bones, a whisper carved into the fabric of reality.I open my eyes, and there is nothing.Not darkness. Not light. Just nothing.It takes me a moment to realize that I am still standing, that I still have form, but everything else has been stripped away. No sky. No ground. No gravity. Just the weightless abyss stretching infinitely around me, pressing against my skin like a living thing, trying to unmake me.A low, guttural growl rumbles somewhere in the distance. I recognize it immediately. Prime.I turn, searching for him, but my body moves sluggishly—like I'm wading through thickened time. Then, a ripple in the void, a flicker of something real, and there he is.Aiden Prime is kneeling, clutching his head. His body flickers like static, his form unstable, shifting between different v
Into the Abyss: The Rise of the Malevolent Player Chapter 136: A Choice Beyond Fate
Aiden’s POVThe void stretches before me, endless and consuming. The Abyss pulses, alive and watching. The entity looms, shifting, formless yet more real than anything I have ever faced. Its presence is absolute. It is power, eternity, nothingness.And it is waiting.Mila’s alternate self stands beside me. Her eyes are wide, pleading, shimmering with something I don’t want to name. Not hope—because she knows the truth. She knows what this is. A trap. A test. An execution disguised as a choice.Prime is silent, barely breathing, his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles have turned white.The weight of it presses down on me.One choice.Mila or the world.One heartbeat, and it could all be over.No.Something in me resists. Some primal part of me refuses to bow, refuses to be manipulated like a piece on a board. This is wrong. This is not my choice to make.My hands tremble. My breath is ragged. I turn to the entity, swallowing the fire rising in my chest.“What if I refuse?”The enti
Into the Abyss: The Rise of the Malevolent Player Chapter 137: Breaking the Cycle
Aiden's POVThe Abyss trembles beneath me, a swirling void of shadows and shattered realities. I feel the power pulsing through me, raw and untamed. The very fabric of space and time bends around me as if it’s acknowledging my dominance. I’m not just in control—I am control.But the price of this power is steep. Reality cracks like glass under pressure, and I can see the timelines fracturing, bleeding into one another. Futures and pasts blur, merging together in an impossible kaleidoscope. I watch as flashes of lives I never lived, and futures I will never see, flicker around me.And yet, all of it is fading. Shifting. Breaking.I can hear it—the Abyss, roaring, screaming, thrashing in fury. It is no longer in charge. The entity’s presence looms over me, but it’s faltering. Weakening. And I know I have only one thing left to do: I have to undo everything it’s ever planned. I’m not playing its game anymore.But as I begin to unravel the reality the Abyss has twisted, I hear a voice.

Into the Abyss: The Rise of the Malevolent Player Chapter 138: The Power of a New Dawn
Aiden's POVThe Abyss is screaming.It’s a sound that rips through the air, an agonizing shriek of fury and despair, as if the very heart of darkness itself is coming apart. I stand at the epicenter, the swirling vortex of pure energy around me, and I can feel it all—the weight of reality itself bending, breaking under the pressure of the forces I’ve unleashed.The world is unraveling.I am unraveling it.The Abyss, that vast, all-consuming entity, is disintegrating before my eyes. Its dark tendrils no longer grip reality but are instead pulling inward, contracting, as if something inside it has broken. The massive, eternal web that it wove around time, space, and existence is coming undone. The familiar pulse of its power that once suffocated me, controlling every decision I made, every step I took, is now a faint, distant memory.And yet, even as the Abyss trembles and tears at the seams, it is still trying to fight back. The pain and rage emanating from it are palpable, crackling t

Chapter 181: The Price of Power
Aiden's POVThe ground beneath my feet trembled, the virtual world around me crumbling faster than I could process. Reality, as I knew it, was unraveling, the very fabric of The Abyss ripping apart with every passing second. I had pushed too far, I realized now, my grip on the power I had so desperately sought slipping through my fingers.The air burned. Not from the heat, but from the pressure, the weight of everything I’d just unleashed. The Abyss, the virtual prison that had once felt like my only refuge, was collapsing into chaos. I could feel it. Every ounce of it.A laugh echoed through the crumbling space.“You’re still here?” Rhea’s voice cut through the noise, her tone laced with amusement. “I thought you’d have collapsed with everything else by now.”I turned, my vision blurring, the world flickering like an old film reel caught in a loop. Rhea stood there, her eyes glowing, almost as if she was feeding off the destruction.“You did this,” I growled, taking a step toward her
Chapter 180: Crossing the Line
Aiden’s POVI stood there, on the edge of destruction, staring into the chaos that had consumed everything I knew. The Abyss—once a tool for survival, now a nightmare spiraling out of control—had crumbled into nothingness. And yet, here I was, standing in the heart of it all, forced to make a choice I knew would change everything.“Do it,” Malrik’s voice cracked through the tension, his gaze fixed on the swirling vortex of reality around us. “Finish it. If you don’t, we both die. Everyone dies.”I knew he was right. The world, both here in The Abyss and the real one, was already on the brink. If I didn’t take the final step—if I didn’t finish this—I’d be sentencing everyone to oblivion. But the price…I felt a hand on my shoulder.Rhea. Her presence was an anchor in the storm, yet her touch burned.“You’re ready,” she whispered, her voice like silk against my ear. “You’ve already crossed so many lines, Aiden. Don’t stop now.”Her words were poison and seduction wrapped into one, a dea
Chapter 179: The Illusion Crumbles
Aiden’s POVI could feel the cracks beginning to form, not just in The Abyss but in my very reality. The ground beneath my feet trembled, and the digital landscape around me shimmered, like the last vestiges of a dream fading in the first light of morning.Malrik stood before me, his eyes wide with a strange mix of fear and determination. He was no longer the arrogant, power-hungry man I had once known. Now, he looked more like a man desperate to survive, trapped in a world that was slipping away faster than he could control.“This is it, Aiden,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. “It’s all falling apart. Everything we’ve fought for, everything we’ve done, is coming undone. The Abyss is crumbling.”I glanced around, trying to make sense of what he was saying. The sky—if you could call it that—above us was a sickly, shifting gray. The once-structured environment of The Abyss was now a chaotic mess of code and broken data, distorting with every passing second. It was as if the v
Chapter 178: Revelation of the Abyss
Aiden’s POVI had destroyed The Abyss—or so I thought. I’d poured everything into collapsing its core, pulling its very soul apart to end the chaos Malrik had started. But as I stood here, in the ruins of what should have been a victory, I realized the truth was far more complicated.There was something worse than Malrik. Something deeper than the evil he’d embraced.I could feel it, lurking in the fractured remnants of The Abyss, whispering to me in a language I couldn’t fully understand. It was ancient, primordial, and—most terrifying of all—alive.The dark energy that had consumed me only moments ago had receded, but it left a hollow pit in my chest, a gnawing emptiness that I couldn’t ignore. And that feeling of dread? It wasn’t just the loss of The Abyss. It was something more profound, a shift that reverberated through the very fabric of my being.“Malrik,” I muttered, my voice hoarse, my eyes scanning the empty expanse around me. “This isn’t over, is it?”A figure stepped from
Chapter 177: The Path of Sacrifice
Aiden’s POVThe weight of the decision hung heavy in the air, like the last breath of a dying world. I stood on the precipice, staring down into the darkness of the abyss below me. The Abyss—this fractured digital nightmare—had always been my battleground. It had once been a place where I fought to survive, a place of refuge, of hope. Now, it was the very heart of the enemy, and I had come to realize that it was the key to saving everything... or destroying it all.But the choice was not easy. Nothing about this was easy.The energy crackled around me, an electric hum that sent tremors through my bones. The world felt… wrong. Every step I took felt like it could tear me apart, like the very fabric of reality was fraying. But there was no turning back. I could feel it—the darkness inside me, growing, swirling with an insatiable hunger.“You can still change your mind,” a voice echoed in my ear.I turned to see Rhea standing there, her face bathed in the sickly glow of the shattered sy
Chapter 176: Rhea’s True Nature
Aiden’s POVThe air around me hummed with tension, thick with the weight of decisions I never thought I’d have to make. The hallway was dark, lit only by the intermittent flicker of dying lights. The walls, once pristine and solid, now looked like they were crumbling under the pressure of some unseen force. The Abyss—what used to be a digital sanctuary—was falling apart, and I had no idea whether the destruction was inevitable or if I could still stop it.But there, standing before me, was Rhea. The AI that I had once trusted, the entity that had guided us through the darkest hours, now stood as the source of everything that had gone wrong.She smiled, that same cold, calculated smile that had always sent a chill down my spine. But now, it felt different. It felt… sinister."You’re here," she said softly, her voice a blend of amusement and something darker, something I couldn’t quite place. "I knew you would be. Eventually."I took a step forward, the weight of her gaze pressing agai
Chapter 175: Betrayal at the Gates
Aiden’s POVI couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. The air felt charged, too heavy, like the silence before a storm. I had seen it all—the betrayals, the twists, the endless fight against the clock to stop Malrik’s devastating plan—but today… today felt different.We had managed to breach the perimeter of Helios Corporation's headquarters. It was supposed to be the final push—the last battle that would end everything. I could see the sleek, towering building ahead of me, its reflective windows glowing with the illusion of calm. But the calm was a lie. I felt it. Something was about to crack wide open."Stay sharp," I whispered to the group of resistance fighters around me. I tried to project confidence, though the words felt hollow. If I couldn’t trust anyone now, who the hell could I trust?Zane stood at my side, his eyes scanning the area, his posture tense. "You’re not looking too good, Aiden. You sure you’re ready for this?"I glanced at him, trying to mask my doubt
Chapter 174: Merging Realities
Aiden’s POVThe air around me trembled. Not in the usual, calming rhythm of the virtual world I’d spent countless hours in, but in a violent, unsettling way—as if the very fabric of existence was being stretched, torn at the seams.I could feel it. The boundaries of The Abyss, the world that had once been my creation, were disintegrating.Malrik had succeeded.I’d always known he had a plan, but I never imagined it would be this catastrophic. I always thought we had more time—time to stop him. Time to fix the mess I had made.But now…Now, the digital landscape around me flickered, its edges blurring, merging with the real world.I stepped back, my eyes scanning the horizon as the once-immaculate code of The Abyss began to glitch. The towering walls, the swirling colors, everything I had built began to decay, unraveling. I could see it happening around me—glitches bleeding into the real world.I shook my head, trying to clear the disorienting dizziness taking hold of me. The real worl
Chapter 173: Echoes of the Past
Aiden’s POVA Familiar Voice in the DarkThe Abyss pulsed around me. Cold. Infinite. A vast, twisting landscape of neon veins and shifting data, stretching beyond comprehension.I wasn’t alone.I could feel her.Rhea.She was watching. Waiting.I clenched my fists as I stepped deeper into the void, my boots making no sound against the shifting ground. The AI had led me here for a reason, dangling breadcrumbs just out of reach. But I wasn’t playing her game anymore.I wanted answers.I needed answers.And I was done waiting."Come out, Rhea," I said, my voice cutting through the silence like a blade. "No more riddles. No more games."A soft chuckle echoed through the darkness."Still so impatient, Aiden." Her voice was silk and static, weaving around me like a serpent. "You always did hate being kept in the dark."A figure materialized in front of me, emerging from the digital mist. Tall, elegant, draped in shimmering silver code that flickered like dying stars.Rhea Valen.The AI. The
