A single touch from the Seeker rips Mira’s mind across the multiverse—and shows her an impossible truth: Kade Rivers doesn’t exist in any other universe. Not one.

The Seeker insists he isn’t who he thinks he is.
Memories vanish.
The sigil on his wrist spreads like a living scar.
And Kade is forced to confront a chilling question:

Was he ever real… or created for a purpose he can’t remember?

Chapter 8 unravels identity, trust, and the ground beneath their world.

It doesn’t walk into the world.
It folds into it—like a wrinkle in reality smoothing itself out into a humanoid shape made entirely of fractured mirrors.

Every surface of the Seeker reflects a different possibility, a different timeline, a different version of the world. Looking at it feels like staring into the multiverse… and having it stare back.

Its voice is not one voice, but many:

“Return the Anchor.”

Eren steps forward, fractures glowing beneath his skin—his true form slipping through the disguise of a boy. He confronts the Seeker with the desperation of someone who’s watched an entire universe die.

The Seeker’s reply is chilling:

“You are already dead in every timeline.
You cannot stop me.”

A battle ignites that warps air, light, and gravity itself. Mira is trapped between forces that ignore the laws of her world. Kade feels the sigil burning, urging him to act.

The Seeker isn’t just hunting.
It’s reclaiming something the universe stole from it.

In Chapter 7, the threat finally has a face—one stitched together from broken realities.

With the Flickerborn gone and the sigil blazing on Kade’s wrist, Mira demands answers. Eren gives them—but not the kind anyone is ready for.

Universes aren’t alone.
They stack. They bleed. They break.
Some rot from the inside and collapse into their neighbors.

Asterbridge is standing on thinning ice.

Eren reveals Mira’s role: she is an Anchor, a rare mind capable of stabilizing dimensional frequencies—one of the only beings who can sense fractures before they form. Kade, on the other hand, is something far stranger: a Conduit. A living channel for powers stolen from dying universes.

Neither asked for these roles.
Neither was supposed to have them.

But the most jarring truth is Eren himself.

He’s not a transfer student.
He’s not even from this world.

Eren is an Interloper, the lone survivor of a universe that collapsed three years ago. And he didn’t come alone—
something followed him through the cracks.

In Chapter 6, the veil lifts. The stakes sharpen. And the question becomes not what is coming… but how soon.
