Chapter 1: Rift Unleashed
You slam your hand down on the ancient tome as the forbidden incantation lashed wildly around you. Gouts of shadowy light spiral out from your fingertips—the room blurs, the air thick with the sick metallic scent of magic breaking the natural order. Before your eyes, a jagged rift tears open mid-air, a window into a bleak, dying realm where twisted shapes writhe in endless darkness. Whispers brush your ears, cold and cruel. Your disgrace is now undeniable; the court mages recoil with fear and accusation. Yet through this gateway, something sinister slips closer to your world. You must decide your next move fast, or all will be lost.
