The forsaken Code. Chapter Nineteen: A lingering Threat
The moment Noah stepped through the portal, the air around him changed. The heavy, suffocating presence of the Abyss faded, replaced by the crisp night breeze. He stumbled slightly, his body still weak, but Killian was there to steady him.They stood in the ruins once more, the moon casting long shadows across the broken stones. For a moment, everything was silent—too silent.Vance exhaled loudly. “I can’t believe we actually made it out.”Noah didn’t respond. His mind was still reeling from what he had seen inside the Abyss. The whispers, the shadows, the thing that had nearly swallowed him whole.The hooded woman stepped forward, her voice calm as always. “The Abyss may have let you leave, but it hasn’t forgotten you.”Killian tensed. “What does that mean?”She looked at Noah. “The mark remains. The connection is still there. The Abyss has touched you, and that touch does not simply vanish.”Noah glanced at his wrist. The mark no longer burned, but it was still there, a dark reminde
The forsaken Code. Chapter Twenty:. Into the Abyss
The darkness was no longer just a presence—it was a force. It clung to their skin, filled their lungs, and whispered secrets that none of them wanted to hear. Noah braced himself, gripping his weapon tightly as the shadows circled them like a predator sizing up its prey.Killian’s stance was firm, his blade reflecting what little light remained in this forsaken place. "Noah, can you feel that?"Noah nodded. "Yeah. It’s getting stronger."Vance narrowed his eyes, scanning their surroundings. "This is wrong. We need to move—now."The hooded woman remained eerily still. Her voice, when it came, was almost a whisper. "There is no escape. The Abyss has already claimed us."Before anyone could respond, the darkness lunged.Noah barely had time to react as something massive slammed into them. He was thrown back, the impact knocking the wind from his lungs. He hit the ground hard, pain jolting through his body as his vision blurred.Killian shouted his name, but the sound was drowned out by t
The forsaken Code. Chapter Twenty One:. Shadows of the abyss
The darkness pressed in from all sides, suffocating and absolute. Noah’s breath came in short, sharp gasps as he gripped the hilt of his weapon tighter. The whispers had grown louder, filling his mind with unintelligible murmurs that sent chills down his spine.Killian stood beside him, tense and alert, his blade gleaming faintly in the dim light. Vance, a few steps away, had his back against a jagged rock, scanning the shifting void around them. The hooded woman remained still, her face unreadable beneath the shadow of her cloak.“We need to move,” Vance muttered. “Standing here isn’t going to help.”Noah swallowed hard. “Where do we even go? This place doesn’t follow normal rules.”The hooded woman finally spoke. “We follow the mark.”Noah frowned and glanced at his wrist. The dark mark pulsed, its glow faint but unmistakable. A sense of direction tugged at him, as though something unseen was pulling him forward.Killian noticed. “You feel it, don’t you?”Noah nodded hesitantly. “Ye
The forsaken Code. Chapter twenty-two: Into the Unknown.
The air inside the Abyss thickened, pressing against Noah’s skin like an unseen weight. Every breath felt heavier, every step slower. The shadows around them twisted and shifted, whispering in voices that didn’t belong to any living being.Killian moved closer to Noah, his grip tightening on his sword. “I don’t like this. It feels like we’re being watched.”Vance let out a humorless chuckle. “That’s because we are.”The hooded woman didn’t turn. “Stay focused. The Abyss feeds on fear.”Noah swallowed hard. His wrist burned where the dark mark pulsed, reacting to the Abyss in ways he didn’t understand. Was it calling him deeper? Or warning him?A gust of cold wind swept through the void, carrying with it a sound—a low growl, deep and guttural. It came from everywhere and nowhere at once.Killian stopped walking. “Tell me that was just the wind.”The hooded woman finally turned to them, her expression unreadable. “It knows you’re here.”Before anyone could react, the darkness moved.A s
The forsaken Code. Chapter Twenty-three:. The abyss Stir
Noah’s breath came in short gasps as he stood amidst the swirling darkness. The Abyss pulsed around them, a living entity pressing against their minds, their bodies. He could feel it now—its hunger, its patience, its desire to consume him whole.Killian stood beside him, blade raised, his muscles tense as he scanned the ever-shifting void. Vance, his usual sarcasm absent, gripped his weapon tightly, his knuckles turning white. The hooded woman remained eerily calm, her gaze fixed on something unseen.Noah clenched his fists. “What now?”The woman finally spoke, her voice steady. “The Abyss knows you’re here. It won’t let you leave easily.”Killian scoffed. “Yeah, we figured that much.”The laughter from the shadows returned, echoing around them like a cruel symphony. Noah turned sharply, catching glimpses of figures moving just beyond the edges of his vision. They were being watched.Then, without warning, the darkness attacked.A shadow lunged, tendrils stretching out like claws. Noa
The forsaken Code. Chapter Twenty- four : The abyss Strikes
The shadows twisted violently as the Abyss roared, its deep, guttural sound reverberating through the void. Noah felt his pulse quicken. The swirling mass before them was no longer just an entity—it was a force, a will bent on consuming him.The hooded woman’s protective barrier flickered under the pressure of the Abyss’s encroaching darkness. “It’s testing us,” she warned, her voice steady despite the chaos. “It wants to see how far you can go before you break.”Noah tightened his grip on his weapon. “Then we don’t break.”Killian smirked, adjusting his stance. “That’s the spirit.”The Abyss did not wait. Tendrils lashed forward, whipping through the air with lethal precision. Noah ducked, narrowly avoiding one as another wrapped around his leg, yanking him off his feet. He gasped, slashing wildly, but the darkness was relentless.Vance sent a surge of fire, the flames cutting through the tendrils and forcing the Abyss to recoil. “Not today,” he muttered, helping Noah up. “Stay on yo
The forsaken Code. Chapter Twenty- five: Battle
The darkness around them did not fully dissipate. Instead, it lingered, curling at the edges of their reality, waiting for a moment of weakness. The oppressive void had lessened, but Noah knew better than to assume they were safe. The Abyss never truly vanished. It only retreated to strike again.Killian exhaled sharply, rolling his shoulders. "So, what now? The thing just...gave up?"Noah shook his head, his fingers unconsciously brushing against the cooling mark on his wrist. "No. It’s waiting. Testing me. It won’t stop until I prove that I can resist it completely."Vance scoffed, adjusting his stance as he peered into the swirling shadows that still clung to the ground. "Great. Just what we need. A villain with patience."The hooded woman ignored his remark and turned to Noah. "You’ve gained ground today, but you are not yet beyond its reach. The Abyss is ancient, bound to the very fabric of existence. It does not simply let go of what it desires."Noah swallowed hard. He had felt
The forsaken Code. Chapter Twenty-Six : Echoes of the void
Noah took a steadying breath as the remnants of the Abyss faded into the void. His heart was still pounding, his body aching from the battle. He glanced at his wrist where the mark had cooled, the pain a distant echo now. But the memory of its burn lingered. He wasn’t free—not yet.Killian exhaled sharply, running a hand through his sweat-damp hair. “So, what now? We just keep moving forward?”Vance dusted off his coat, shaking his head. “Forward is the only option. Unless you’d rather set up camp and wait for the next nightmare to come crawling out of the dark.”Noah turned to the hooded woman. “You said this was just the beginning. What did you mean?”She studied him for a moment, her gaze unreadable. “The Abyss tested you, but it has not given up. You rejected it today, but it will try again. Stronger. Smarter. You must be ready.”Noah clenched his fists. “Then tell me how. How do I fight it?”“The answer lies beyond this passage,” she said, motioning to the path ahead. “But be war

Chapter Twenty- Seven: Echoes of the abyss.
The void ahead seemed to pulse, shifting like a living entity as Noah and his companions pressed forward. The weight of the Abyss still lingered, its presence a whisper at the edge of his mind. Though the immediate danger had passed, he knew better than to assume it was truly gone."I hate to admit it," Vance muttered, flicking away a lingering wisp of darkness from his shoulder, "but that thing had me questioning my life choices."Killian smirked, adjusting his grip on his blade. "If you actually took time to think before charging in, you'd have a shorter list of regrets."The hooded woman, ever silent, walked ahead with purpose. Noah studied her movements—calm, deliberate, almost as if she knew exactly where they were going. He quickened his pace until he was beside her. "You knew the Abyss wouldn’t fully consume me. Didn’t you?"She turned her head slightly, the dim glow of her ethereal markings casting faint shadows across her face. "I suspected. But only you could decide that."H
