Falling for them (love and deepspace X OC )

Resonance's Power

My vision blurs. Amidst blood and fire, the Deepspace Tunnel appears. It shakes violently.

"Silver, you must press on." Sylus spoke "That life you owe me—now is not the time to repay it."

Looking at the hand reaching out to me, I see Sylus's cold face. But there seems to be a shadow above him.I can't help but reach out as well. Unprecedented power swells between our intertwined fingers—
Instantly, I feel a tremor from deep within my heart. Something flows through my veins.The Wanderer's dissipating particles fall like a misty rain, yet a brighter light pierces through the haze.The Aether Core emits countless rays of golden light that seep into my heart. The warm, familiar power continues to surge.I don't know how much time has passed when the fluctuations around me slowly start to subside.The movements within my body cease. It's as if an ocean's roaring waves have silently calmed down, turning into ripples on a lake's surface.

Then I saw a light come down from the sky heading towards me as I caught it "So this... is the Aether Core..." I turned to Sylus who was looking up "Sylus?"

"Its power belongs to you now.Naturally, the vessel will break as a result."

"To me...?"

"Isn't this what you wanted?" He goes to walk away.

But I felt like he's pulling me "Hey... Where are you taking me?" Sylus looks at me in confusion as he looks at our wrists "Ugh, let go already!" looks like it cuffed with some random power. "What.... is this thing?"

Sylus doesn't respond, and the powerful tremor that shook the Deepspace Tunnel ignites a chain reaction within the N109 Zone.
Those shadows who believed they controlledOnychinus are eliminated from fate's tapestry.Unable to see the undercurrents beneath the water's surface, I can only smell the scent of smoke becoming more poignant as it's carried by the wind. Structures crumble and collapse, and Mephisto's wings pierce through the boundless darkness. He's accompanied by the distant tolling of a bell. It's almost like an announcement, as if the world is saying...
The true leader of Onychinus has returned.However, Sylus, amidst the raging storm, remains nonchalant as he sits next to me. Our racing vehicle leaves our enemies behind while intermittent light seeps through the window to obscure his silhouette and goals.
I never held onto the naive notion that Sylus assisted me in acquiring the Aether Core just so he could clean house. This kind of deal would result in him suffering a major loss, and it's clear he's anything but an ignorant businessman.What are his true motives? For a moment, his expression as he gazed at the Deepspace Tunnel resurfaces in my mind. Then, I feel a sensation in my palm. I'm still clutching the fragmented Protocore. It's as if I'm subconsciously grasping onto an answer that has yet to be revealed. The linkage between my hand and Sylus's suddenly flickers, seemingly sensing the swirling thoughts in my head.

Later the twins started to call us while Sylus and I were still in our situation.

"We heard you and Boss took care of the traitors and thieves." Luke said.

"You even destroyed the Aether Core together! Good job!" Kieran adds.

"Just calling to let you know that we cleaned up at The Nest. No one will contacbe causing trouble for you anymore." Luke adds.

"Huh? When did?" I asked in confusion.

Kieran speaks "Our boss told us to do it. While he looks mean, he's actually-"

"See you later" Sylus said cleaning his gun.

"boss?! I didn't mean to—"

I started hanging up and looked at Sylus "So.. What's your plan?"

He looks at me "Chop it off"

"But it seems to be some sort of energy linkage. Can I even physically attack it?"

"I was talking about your hand." Exuse me motherfucker?! "Or you can also settle down in theN109 Zone. I have more than enough time to solve this problem with you."

"No thanks. Let's use a more efficient approach."

"Let's destroy the Aether Core in your body."

I glare at him "You're saying our Aether Cores created this link? Okay, why don't we destroy yours then?"

"Never mind. With your current level of resonance, it won't last long."

"But before I started resonating with you, I saw a strange vision..."

"It's not a big deal. From now on, you'll be seeing more things like that."

Wait a minute "So that... was real?"

"If I say yes, will you give me a sincere apology? Silver, this world is different from what you see. But I'm not in the mood to tell stories at the moment. You should think about your next move after leaving the N109 Zone. And don't forget our deal."

He hand over the brooch he took me as I took it "Then you should make sure I can leave safely."

"The outside world is more dangerous now."

"Thanks for the warning. I'll be careful."

"In any case, until the resonance issue is fixed, we'll be meeting more often in the future."

And so I left N109 Zone. The dust settled. But the deal with Sylus lingered, like a silent yet turbulent mist. I found myself falling into an abyss in the blink of an eye. The doors of memory swung open.
And something began to stir. It is... another world I had once glimpsed. At the confluence of the entwined timelines, I heard it. A faint yet distinct heartbeat, echoing through the stillness of eternity.

The story continues this fall...
