TREVOR KING AND SYSTEM MISADVENTURES Descent Into the Inner Rift
The portal spat them out onto a jagged cliffside overlooking a vast, swirling void. The sky above was a chaotic mix of black and crimson, crackling with streaks of lightning. Below, the Rift stretched endlessly, a churning mass of dark energy that radiated a nauseating pull.Trevor stumbled, catching himself on the edge of the cliff. "Okay, that was not a gentle landing. Ten out of ten for drama, though."Lyra landed more gracefully, brushing herself off as she surveyed their surroundings. "This must be the Outer Edge of the Rift."Trevor peered down into the abyss, his stomach twisting. "Yeah, it’s very... abyss-y. Are we supposed to just jump in?"Lyra pointed to a spiraling path that descended into the void, barely visible through the swirling darkness. "We follow that.""Of course we do," Trevor muttered. "Because nothing screams ‘safe’ like a death spiral into the apocalypse."As they started down the path, the oppressive energy of the Rift grew stronger. The air felt thick, heav
TREVOR KING AND SYSTEM MISADVENTURES Facing the Darkness Within
Trevor swung his sword at the reflection, but it darted aside with impossible speed, grinning wildly."You really think you can fight me?" the twisted version of Trevor taunted. "I’m not just some shadow. I’m every fear, every failure, every doubt you’ve ever had.""Yeah? Well, you’re also really annoying," Trevor shot back, taking another swing.The reflection parried the strike with an identical blade that seemed to materialize out of the void. Their swords clashed, sparks flying, and the sound echoed endlessly in the darkness.Meanwhile, Lyra stood in her own isolated pocket of the void, staring down a warped version of herself. This reflection wore a crown of thorns and wielded a twisted staff, its eyes cold and unfeeling."You always think you’re the strong one," the reflection said, circling her. "But you’re not. You’re scared. Scared that you’ll fail again. Scared that you’ll lose the people you care about."Lyra’s grip tightened on her staff. "I’ve made mistakes. But I don’t l
TREVOR KING AND SYSTEM MISADVENTURES Into the Inner Rift
The bridge of light stretched endlessly before them, each step sending faint ripples through the glowing pathway. Trevor glanced over the edge and immediately regretted it—the void below churned like a living thing, pulsating with dark energy."So," Trevor said, trying to keep his voice casual, "on a scale of one to catastrophic, how bad do you think this next part’s going to be?"Lyra didn’t answer immediately. Her eyes were fixed ahead, her grip on her staff tightening. "We’re heading into the heart of the Rift. I think ‘catastrophic’ is probably optimistic.""Great," Trevor muttered. "I was hoping for ‘mildly inconvenient,’ but sure, let’s aim high."As they moved forward, the air around them grew heavier, pressing down like an invisible weight. Trevor’s chest tightened, and he had to focus just to keep putting one foot in front of the other."You feel that?" he asked, his voice strained.Lyra nodded. "The Rift’s energy. It’s trying to push us back.""Well, it’s doing a bang-up job
TREVOR KING AND SYSTEM MISADVENTURES The Shattered Realms
Trevor woke to the sound of wind howling and the feel of cold, jagged stone beneath him. He blinked, groaning as he sat up, his body aching from the fall."Lyra?" he called out, his voice hoarse.No response."Great," he muttered, forcing himself to his feet. Around him was a landscape that looked like it had been torn apart and stitched back together by a madman. Pieces of land floated in the air, connected by thin, glowing bridges. The sky was a swirling storm of colors, fractured like a broken mirror."Definitely not Kansas anymore," Trevor said, gripping his sword tightly.He took a cautious step forward, the ground beneath him creaking ominously. His first priority was finding Lyra. She had to be here somewhere—assuming the explosion hadn’t scattered them across dimensions.As he moved, Trevor noticed strange symbols glowing faintly on the rocks. They pulsed in rhythm, almost like a heartbeat. He knelt to examine one, reaching out to touch it, but the moment his fingers grazed th
TREVOR KING AND SYSTEM MISADVENTURES The Rift’s Secrets
The glowing bridges led them deeper into the fractured landscape, each step taking them closer to the blinding light at the heart of the Rift. The strange symbols etched into the floating rocks continued to pulse, their rhythm quickening the closer they got.Trevor glanced at one of the symbols as they passed. "You think these are important? Or just some ancient graffiti?"Lyra stopped and studied the symbols. "They’re definitely important. They feel... familiar somehow.""Familiar? Like déjà vu, or like ‘I read this in a cursed book’ familiar?""More like déjà vu," Lyra said, her brow furrowed. "It’s like I’ve seen them before, but I can’t remember where."Trevor shrugged. "Well, let’s hope they’re not spelling out ‘Abandon all hope.’ That’d really kill the vibe."As they continued, the terrain shifted, the floating islands becoming more erratic. Some tilted dangerously, while others flickered in and out of existence."Watch your step," Lyra said, pointing to a bridge that disappeare
TREVOR KING AND SYSTEM MISADVENTURES The Last Stand
The creatures that emerged from the shadows weren’t like anything Trevor had faced before. Their bodies were solid, their movements purposeful. They looked like a cross between human and machine, with glowing red eyes that seemed to burn with an unnatural hunger.Trevor’s sword was already in his hand, but the sight of the creatures gave him a pause. "Great, this is exactly what I wanted today."Lyra stood beside him, her staff crackling with energy. "Stay focused. We’ve fought worse.""Yeah, but I don’t remember fighting anything this creepy," Trevor muttered, watching the figures circle them.One of the creatures lunged, its arm reaching out with a speed Trevor barely saw coming. He sidestepped just in time, slashing his sword through its torso. But instead of blood, the creature cracked open like stone, its body crumbling into dust."Okay, that’s... unexpected," Trevor said, wiping the dust off his sword.Lyra launched a blast of magic toward another creature, sending it flying bac
TREVOR KING AND SYSTEM MISADVENTURES The Heart of the Rift
The dark tunnel stretched before them, a narrow, twisting path that seemed to sink deeper into the core of the Rift. The walls were smooth, with faint glowing veins running through them, pulsing with an eerie, rhythmic beat. Trevor couldn’t shake the feeling that they were being watched, but every time he looked over his shoulder, all he saw was the blackness stretching behind them.“So, do we just follow the glow, or is there a map somewhere?” Trevor asked, his voice echoing slightly in the silence.Lyra’s eyes scanned the path ahead. “I think the Rift’s trying to guide us. It’s not exactly friendly, but it’s not exactly blocking us, either.”“Great. So we’re on a guided tour of the nightmare zone,” Trevor muttered. “What could go wrong?”“We need to focus,” Lyra said, her voice steady. “The deeper we go, the more unstable this place gets. We don’t know what’s ahead, but we can’t afford to let our guard down.”Trevor gave her a sideways glance. “You know, for someone who’s constantl
TREVOR KING AND SYSTEM MISADVENTURES The Final Convergence
The tremors underfoot intensified, and the room seemed to pulse with the dying heartbeat of the Rift. Trevor and Lyra exchanged a glance, their hands both tightening on their weapons. The shattering of the crystal had only been a temporary victory. Now, the Rift was fighting back, and the real challenge had only just begun.“We need to move. Now,” Lyra said, her voice filled with urgency. She raised her staff, and a barrier of light formed around them, protecting them from the erratic bursts of energy that shot from the fractured crystal.Trevor glanced around at the crumbling chamber. The walls were warping, reality itself beginning to unravel at the edges. “Where exactly do we move to, Lyra?” he asked, his tone tense. “Everything’s falling apart!”“There’s a way out—there has to be,” Lyra replied, her voice steady despite the chaos around them. “The heart of the Rift isn’t just a power source. It’s a nexus. If we can reach the center of this space, we can stop the remaining power fr

glitch
Trevor’s paranoia didn’t ease as he rode through the city streets. He kept glancing over his shoulder, half-expecting that shadowy man to reappear. But the roads remained empty, the only sounds being the hum of traffic and the occasional shout from pedestrians.Still, something was wrong.His mind kept replaying the moment at the café. Lyra’s face, her confused expression, the way she had looked at him like he was a stranger.Had the system erased her memories? Or… was this even the same Lyra?Trevor turned onto a quiet alley, stopping to take a break. He pulled out his phone and checked his messages. Nothing unusual. His boss had sent him a few reminders, and there were some spam texts, but—Then, his screen flickered.Just for a second.Trevor frowned. He tapped the screen, but everything seemed fine now. Probably just a glitch.Then it happened again.This time, the screen filled with static before flashing a message in bold red text:"SYSTEM ERROR: MEMORY RETRIEVAL INCOMPLETE."Tr
a normal day
Trevor pushed open the door to the small, dimly lit convenience store, the familiar chime of the bell ringing overhead. The air smelled of instant noodles and cheap coffee—just like always. He had made his delivery, gotten a half-hearted "thanks" from the customer, and now he was here, grabbing a quick snack before heading back to work.Everything was… normal. Too normal.As he stood in line, waiting to pay for his energy drink and bag of chips, he found himself tapping his fingers on the counter absentmindedly. His mind was still racing. The system world, the monsters, the Rift, the Nexus—had it really just vanished like that?He glanced at the cashier. Just an average guy scrolling on his phone, completely unaware that Trevor had just been fighting for his life in another reality. He let out a breath and shook his head. Maybe he really was losing it."You gonna pay, or just stand there looking confused?" the cashier asked, raising an eyebrow.Trevor blinked. "Uh. Yeah. Sorry." He fu
Thrown back!
Trevor and Lyra had barely taken a few steps after the Guardian’s ominous warning when something strange happened. The air around them seemed to distort, bending as if reality itself was warping. The ground beneath their feet wavered, and the shadows, which had been so oppressive just moments ago, began to flicker and dance as if alive.“I don’t like this,” Trevor muttered, instinctively reaching for his sword, though he knew it wouldn’t be of much use here.Lyra looked around, her staff raised, ready for whatever was coming next. “Something’s not right. I feel—”Before she could finish her sentence, the ground beneath their feet seemed to vanish. A dizzying sensation of freefall gripped them as if they were being sucked into a vortex. Trevor tried to call out, but the words caught in his throat as the world around him twisted and turned.In the blink of an eye, the chaotic energy of the system world vanished. The oppressive darkness, the ominous cavern, the Guardian—they were all gon
Relentless pursuit
Trevor and Lyra continued their journey, now more cautious than ever. Every footstep seemed to echo in the vast, empty space of the cavern, amplifying the tension in the air. The system's ominous warning still rang in their ears, like an ever-present reminder that their lives—along with everything they knew—hung by a thread.“So… about that ominous warning,” Trevor muttered, his sword gripped tightly in his hand. “Are we just supposed to keep going like this?”Lyra shot him a sideways glance. “I don’t know. We don’t have much of a choice. If we don’t finish this, everything we’ve fought for will be destroyed. The system wasn’t lying.”“Yeah, thanks for the pep talk,” Trevor said sarcastically, rolling his eyes. “Really feeling the ‘we-can-do-it’ energy right now.”Lyra frowned but didn’t respond. The weight of the task ahead was enough to silence them both. The path before them was no longer smooth—rocks and boulders jutted out of the ground, making it difficult to navigate. The air w
Golem
Trevor and Lyra moved cautiously through the newly revealed path. The air was dense, pressing against their chests, as though the cavern itself was holding its breath. Every step they took echoed through the stillness, a constant reminder that they were far from safety.“Why does everything in this place look like a bad dream?” Trevor muttered, his sword drawn, his eyes darting between the shadows. "Like, can we get some normal, non-nightmare scenery here?"Lyra, walking in front, didn’t reply immediately. Her focus was intense, her gaze fixed ahead. “This place… it feels different. I don’t think it’s just the atmosphere. Something’s changing.”“Great,” Trevor said, sounding almost sarcastic. “Something’s changing. That’s exactly what I needed to hear.”A sudden rumble ran through the ground beneath them. Trevor’s heart jumped into his throat as the tunnel around them began to shift—large chunks of the stone floor cracked and crumbled, sending debris tumbling into the dark abyss below
cavern
Trevor’s stomach lurched as the platform beneath them crumbled away, sending them tumbling into the abyss. The wind howled past them, and for a moment, it felt like they were falling through nothingness, just a never-ending spiral of darkness.“Not again!” Trevor shouted, flailing his arms. “I hate falling!”Lyra’s voice broke through the rush of air, sharp and clear. “Hold on!” She reached out, grabbing Trevor’s arm just as the ground seemed to draw closer. Her fingers tightened around him. “I don’t know how much longer I can—”Before she could finish, the darkness around them suddenly shifted. The air grew dense, and the ground below them… solidified.With a hard thud, they crashed onto the ground, rolling a few feet before coming to a stop.Trevor groaned, his sword still firmly gripped in his hand. “Okay, okay. I’m fine.” He pushed himself to his knees, rubbing his head. “You know, I’m starting to think the system just enjoys torturing us.”Lyra sat up beside him, shaking her head
descend!
Trevor’s stomach lurched as he plummeted through the darkness. Wind howled past his ears, but there was no ground in sight.“This is it,” he yelled. “This is how I die. Not in an epic battle, not saving the world—just falling forever.”Lyra’s voice cut through the rushing air. “Shut up and focus,stop talking about dying now, we will die if you don't shut your mouth Trevor!".Trevor twisted in midair, barely managing to see her falling beside him. She was gripping her staff tightly, eyes glowing with determination.“Focus on what?” he shouted. “Gravity is kind of kicking our butts right now!”Lyra gritted her teeth. “Then we fight gravity.”She thrust her staff downward, and a surge of golden energy exploded beneath her. For a brief second, she slowed—but then the force of the fall overcame the magic, and she dropped again.Trevor winced. “Well, that was a good try, really I'll try that next time,that was well executed!"“Shut up.”Lyra gripped her staff again, chanting quickly. This t
The Countdown Begins
Trevor and Lyra crashed onto the hard stone floor as the blinding light faded. Trevor groaned, rolling onto his back. “I swear, if we get teleported one more time, I’m going to punch the system in the face.”Lyra pushed herself up, coughing. “Yeah? Let me know how that works out for you.”They sat up, taking in their surroundings. They were standing on a massive stone platform floating in an endless void. Above them, jagged fractures ran through the dark sky, glowing faintly with an eerie blue light. Around them, pieces of land drifted weightlessly—some connected by crumbling bridges, others too far apart to reach.But the most unsettling sight was in the center of the platform: a massive stone pillar covered in glowing symbols, with an enormous hourglass at its base. The glass chamber was filled with swirling blue sand… and it was draining. Slowly but steadily.Trevor frowned. “That’s… probably bad.”Before Lyra could respond, a deep voice rumbled through the void."The Final Countdo
The Trial Begins
Trevor pushed through the tangled forest, his sword cutting away the gnarled branches that clawed at his path. The oppressive silence weighed heavily on him, broken only by the occasional distant growl.“Alright, creepy forest,” he muttered, “let’s get this over with. Show me the big bad thing I have to fight.”The air seemed to shift in response, and Trevor froze. From the shadows, a figure stepped forward—an exact replica of him.The copy grinned, twirling a sword identical to his own. “You really think you’re ready for this, delivery boy?”Trevor blinked. “Oh, great. My self-esteem issues are back, and now they’ve got swords.”The copy lunged, forcing Trevor to block the strike. Their blades clashed, sending sparks flying. Trevor stumbled back, his mind racing.“Okay,” he said, dodging another attack, “this is officially the weirdest fight I’ve ever had.”The copy smirked, its movements mirroring Trevor’s perfectly. “You can’t win. I know every move you’ll make.”Trevor gritted his
