Chapter 10: The Lost Dimensional City

The aftermath of the storm revealed more than devastation; it unveiled a long-lost paradox. In The Horizons in the peak of a Mountain, with a river circulating from its right corners flowing downhills to great forest with trees looking like skyscrapers, In the left a great valley full of colors from flowers like they are immortals fairies in a the edge Mira stood above a rock, her pupils flickering with urgent notifications. Below her lay Nytheris, the Hidden City of Eternity.

System Alert: Major Discovery Achieved.

Hidden Location: Nytheris (City of Eternity)

Reward: +15 Evolution Points, Dimensional Map Unlocked

In the heart of the Forest, a city glowed faintly, its crystalline spires seeming to hum with a melody just beyond hearing. An energy dome encased it, pulsing in synchrony with Mira's heartbeat, as though beckoning her. She descended the valley, each step triggering vibrations that resonated through her armor, after marching for around 16 min into the forest she finally reached the outer circle of this city.

Suddenly, a prompt appeared:

Do you wish to attune to the Dimensional Frequencies of Nytheris?

[Yes] [No]

Mira selected Yes, and a surge of energy coursed through her, unlocking fragments of knowledge about dimensional rifts and the resonance of higher planes.

Upon entering the city, Mira encountered an obelisk glowing with ancient symbols. A projection of an elder in the form of a shadows this is a Race from the 4th dimensional being known as Altharian, the reason he showed himself in this form is because it's so risky for a 3rd Dimensional being to meet a 4th Dimensional being; just the sheer presence of the later is completely enough to annihilated all the conscience of the first one; Mira doesn't know this and the elder maybe wont explain it either so any way she is confused and when an o like grimace she llok into this suddenly showing shadow that appeared and start to speak with her.

"Traveler, welcome to Nytheris, a nexus between the realms. We Altharian sought to master the eleven dimensions to transcend mortality. Our hubs birthed catastrophe."

System Insight Unlocked:

Lore Fragment : The Altharian Civilization (Dimensional Experimentation)

Mira's interface displayed fragmented images: beings dissolving into light, spires ascending into higher planes, and a rupture that unleashed chaos. The projection's final words echoed in her mind:

"What we built to ascend became our downfall. Proceed with wisdom."

Exploring deeper, Mira discovered intricate ruins filled with ancient machinery. Her scanner identified relics instilled with dimensional energy. Each relic provided clues to the Altharian ultimate goal: stabilizing the eleven dimensions.

Objective Achieved: 1/3 Significant Relics Found

Mira activated a broken mechanism, which displayed a holographic map. A highlighted path led to the Aetherheart Vault, the core of the city. Alongside the map, a notification appeared:

New Skill Path Unlocked:

Dimensional Insight Level 1: Increases awareness of spatial anomalies.

As Mira proceeded, towering constructs emerged from concealed alcoves. The Nytherian Sentinels were designed to protect the city's secrets from intruders.

#System Alert: Combat Encounter.

Enemy: Nytherian Sentinels (Elite)

Level : 35-40

Weakness : Dimensional Disruption Attacks

Mira engaged the Sentinels, leveraging her recently acquired abilities. Her Dimensional Insight allowed her to predict their movements, disrupting their patterns and striking at vulnerable points.

As the battle intensified, Bakr appeared, lending his brute strength and energy-manipulation abilities. Together, they dismantled the Sentinels, gaining access to the inner sanctum.

Victory Achieved :

Reward: +20 Evolution Points, Dimensional Key Shard

Within the chamber illuminated by faint, otherworldly light, Mira and Bakr approached the console projecting intricate holographic diagrams. The diagrams shifted between dimensional calculations and blueprints of Nytheris's core mechanism: the Aether heart, a fusion of Altharian technology and raw dimensional energy.

As Mira activated the console, a notification appeared across her HUD.

[System Update:]

The console emitted a low hum, and the room shifted, as though responding to their new power.

"This technology isn't just ancient—it's alive," Mira murmured, her gaze locked on the Aetherheart's projection.

Bakr nodded, a rare flicker of awe crossing his usually composed face. "It's attuned to the eleven dimensions. We're not just discovering it; it's unlocking us."

A secondary notification appeared:

[System Alert: Dimensional Anchor Mechanic Enabled.]

With their newly upgraded profiles, Mira and Bakr felt the resonance of their evolving connection to Nytheris and its secrets. The Aether heart's energy pulsed in harmony with them, marking the start of their transformation.

The journey to the Aether heart Vault revealed the city's darkest truths. Inscriptions detailed how the Altharian attempts to harness the eleven dimensions had ruptured the cosmic balance. Mira felt a strange resonance, her interface flashing erratically.

System Alert: Evolution Threshold Approaching.

Synchronization with Dimensional Energy: 70%

Mira suddenly saw flickering visions—her past life intertwined with the memories of Nytheris. The merging of dimensions hinted that her rebirth was connected to this ancient experiment.

The air thickened as they neared the vault. Dark shadows coiled along the walls, and their movements distorted as though refracted through invisible layers. A prompt appeared:

System Warning: Dimensional Corruption Detected.

Status Effect: Dimensional Instability (Progressive disorientation unless stabilized)

Bakr deployed a protective field, but whispers filled their ears: "You do not belong here." Mira activated her Dimensional Anchor, stabilizing the anomaly and clearing the path.

Passage 8: The City's True Purpose

Inside the Vault, the Aether heart pulsed with ethereal light, suspended in a crystalline chamber. Mira felt a surge of energy as her synchronization reached 90%. A system notification appeared:

Evolution Milestone Achieved:

Dimensional Synchronization Level 3: Unlocks higher cognitive awareness of 11th-dimensional rifts.

The Aether Heart's records revealed its purpose: to contain the Abyssal Sovereign, an entity born from the Althar's failed experiments. The city was not just a relic—it was a prison.A shadowy warden emerged, a remnant of the Sovereign's power. Mira and Bakr faced the challenge together.
