Shadows of the Multiverse The Drift in reality

The System

Mission initiated. Identity: Kiera Lynx, expert hacker and underground operator. Task: Retrieve The Nexus before it falls into the wrong hands.

Kiera Lynx stood in the heart of Metropolis Z, her mind sharp as ever. The city, bathed in neon and shadow, held countless secrets, but none more valuable than The Nexus. A powerful AI rumored to control the city's elites, it could change everything. But the question was: who would get to it first?

The System

Coordinates locked. The Nexus is located within Skyline Tech. Security level: Extreme. Proceed with caution.

Skyline Tech," Kiera muttered to herself, adjusting her sleek jacket. "Let’s make this quick." She moved swiftly through the crowded streets, blending in effortlessly. Reaching the towering glass structure, she flashed a fake ID and was granted access with ease. The lobby was a blur as Kiera made her way to the elevator, heading straight for the mainframe room. She couldn’t afford to waste time.

The System

Security breach detected. Initiating countermeasures

Kiera’s fingers flew over the keyboard as soon as she entered the room. The walls lined with screens flickered, revealing layers of encrypted files. With a few quick commands, Kiera bypassed the first level of security. But before she could proceed further, the room went dark.

The System

Warning: Multiple agents detected. Backup systems activated. You have five minutes to exit.

"Not today," Kiera muttered, her fingers already moving. She triggered a smoke screen and dashed for the exit, weaving through the building’s corridors. As alarms blared, she slipped out unnoticed

The System

Backup location detected. Proceed to ArchTech Headquarters. The Nexus is closer than you think.

Kiera moved with purpose, heading toward the next target. But as she entered ArchTech’s lobby, her eyes narrowed. A tall man stood there, watching her. His presence was almost as commanding as the city itself.

Man: "Kiera Lynx... I’ve heard of you." Kiera didn’t flinch. “You’ve heard wrong,” she replied, her voice cold. Man: "We both want the Nexus. Let’s just say we have a common interest." Kiera studied him closely. “I don’t work with anyone,” she said, turning her back to him. “Stay out of my way.” The man’s voice followed her. “We’ll see about that.”
