The shimmering surface of the Abyssal Gate pulsed with an otherworldly rhythm, inviting and menacing all at once. Standing before it, Daniel and Mira felt the pull of the unknown, a gravity that seemed to extend beyond the physical plane.
Mira glanced at Daniel, her expression a mix of exhaustion and determination. "Do we even know what's waiting for us on the other side?"
Daniel shook his head, his grip tightening around the Nexus Resonance Core. "No. But if the Gatekeeper was any indication, it won't be anything friendly."
The system chimed, breaking the tense silence:
[Dimensional Nexus Detected.]
[Warning: The space beyond the Abyssal Gate is unstable. Proceed with caution.]
"Well, that's not ominous at all," Mira muttered, rolling her eyes.
Daniel stepped forward, his resolve firm. "We've come too far to stop now. Whatever's on the other side, we'll face it together."
