“The Gate was closed. But something else... was set free.”
— Echoes of the Forgotten
Months after the Gate was sealed, strange things began to happen across the world.
People who had never been part of Project Aurora were waking up with abilities—powers they couldn't control. Towns were vanishing. Time loops were forming. Nightmares were becoming real.
The team had scattered, trying to live normal lives again. But I kept dreaming of the Gate. And one night, I saw it: a realm behind the Gate that shouldn’t exist.
Something had escaped before it closed. Something ancient. Something not bound by our laws of time or death.
— The Fracture in Time
Orion calls us to a small village in Iceland where time has stopped. Literally. Everyone is frozen in mid-action, and a glowing rift hangs in the sky.
When I touch it, I see a memory… from the future. A future where I become the one who opens the Gate again.
That can’t be possible. Right?
But the more I dig, the more I realize someone is manipulating time itself—and it’s not Lucien.
— The Thirteenth Key
Lyra returns with news: a hidden file from the original Project Aurora labs mentioned a 13th Key—a secret subject who wasn’t part of the original seven.
This Key wasn’t made to seal or unlock anything.
They were designed to destroy the entire veil between realms.
Worse? They’ve already awakened.
And they're coming for all of us.
— The Hollow Children
Entire schools are being wiped out—except the children remain, staring blankly, speaking in unison:
"We see through borrowed eyes."
Selene leads us to one of the affected zones. There, we find a black pool that reflects alternate versions of ourselves—twisted, cruel, dangerous.
The mirror realm is bleeding into ours. And something in there is building an army of… Hollow Children.
— The Rise of Kael
Kael returns—but he’s changed. Cold. Powerful. And he’s not alone.
He’s found an artifact buried beneath the Himalayas—a shard from the Original Gate, older than Earth itself. It whispers to him, offering visions of a perfect world where we never have to fight again.
But the cost? He must shatter every existing realm to make it happen.
— Dreamwalkers
Elias is attacked in his sleep—by something in his dream.
We discover a group known as The Dreamwalkers, rogue survivors of past seal-bearers who live between waking and sleep. They warn us:
“The Gates were never built to keep things out. They were built to keep something in you… from escaping.”
And I begin to wonder:
What if I’m not the hero at all?
– The Mirror Gate
Lyra and I track down the Mirror Gate, a long-forgotten twin to the original Gate of Worlds—hidden inside a buried city beneath the Sahara.
But this gate doesn’t open. It copies.
Inside, we find alternate versions of ourselves—each from failed timelines where the Deep One was never stopped. I meet a version of myself who became Lucien’s right hand… and killed Lyra.
Before we can escape, the Mirror Gate copies us—and unleashes a shadow version of the team into our world.
Now we’re being hunted… by ourselves.
– The Fall of Selene
Selene, trying to protect a flood-ravaged coastal city, uses too much of her power—and breaks.
In her collapse, something else takes over her body. A voice from the deep.
It calls itself Nyhara, a being older than the Gates themselves. A former God of the First Realm, sealed long ago.
Selene’s body becomes a vessel, and Nyhara uses her powers to flood entire countries—claiming it is **
The Death Key
Lucien reappears—but something’s wrong. He’s dying.
He tells us the truth: there were never 13 Keys. There were 14.
The final Key is Death itself. Not metaphorical. A literal being—trapped in a human host, forgotten even by the creators of Project Aurora.
And the host?
Me.
I’m not just a Key—I’m the lock holding Death inside this world.
If I die…
The Gates all open. At once.

– The Collapse
The Mirror Team launches their attack.
Nyhara floods the skies.
Kael activates the shard buried in the Himalayas.
Three realms collapse into one.
Time distorts. Whole cities age and rewind in seconds. Gravity fails. The veil between life and death starts to tear.
Lucien sacrifices himself to seal one rift. Lyra is lost in a collapsing dream realm. Elias burns half his soul to hold the barrier up.
I am faced with one choice:
Unleash Death to end all of this… or keep holding it inside and watch the world unravel.
I scream—and for a moment, everything goes white.

Season 2 Cliffhanger Ending
I wake up in a hospital bed.
A nurse smiles at me.
“Good morning. You’ve been in a coma for six months.”
I look out the window. The world seems fine.
Too fine.
Then I see a newspaper headline:
“President Orion Declares New World Order.”
I realize with a chill:
This isn't my world.
I never left the Mirror Realm.
