Advent Labyrinth

With the advent of steam power, mankind has advanced and ushered in the industrial revolution. This is the age of steam locomotives, automatons, guns, and cannons, as well as curses, magic, artifacts, and the occult. Detective Inspector Alistair Quinn, a war veteran turned investigator, has spent years uncovering the dark secrets lurking beneath Gildspire’s industrial splendor. Fitted with a mechanical arm of his design, he is relentless in his pursuit of justice, unwilling to let the bureaucracy of the city stand in his way. But when a prominent industrialist, Lord James Thorpe, is found dead under inexplicable circumstances, Quinn is drawn into a mystery that defies reason. With the aid of Dr. Evangeline Everhart, a brilliant inventor with a mind as sharp as her mechanical creations,(and wife for all you romance lovers) Quinn follows a trail of clues that point toward something far more sinister than murder—an ancient, long-forgotten machine that could alter the very fabric of reality. As he navigates the treacherous world of secret societies, forbidden technology, and hidden cults, Quinn must confront not only the forces working against him but also the ghosts of his own past. The deeper he digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Some knowledge was never meant to be unearthed. Some devices were never meant to be activated. But in a city where power is everything, there are those willing to kill to control it.

As Lukas delves deeper into the mystery of his reincarnation, he gradually realizes that he is but a pawn in a much larger game. Caught in a struggle between warring factions, forgotten prophecies, and forces beyond mortal comprehension, every choice he makes pulls him further into a labyrinth of deception and destiny.

What if the line between reality and the unknown isn’t as solid as we think? The Last Letter is a labyrinth of unsettling truth and distorted perception that pulls you into its dark corners and forces you to confront the uncomfortable. Javier stands at the edge of a door, but beyond it lies not just a new world—it's a reflection of everything we refuse to understand. Through flickers of time, fragmented memories, and whispers that never stop echoing, he discovers that what he seeks might destroy him. The clock is ticking, but it’s unclear whether he’s racing against time or caught in a trap of it. This is not a story of simple answers or clean resolutions. It's about the raw, disorienting chaos that comes when we try to face what’s lurking just out of reach—when we dare to ask the questions we’re afraid to answer. Every step Javier takes leads him deeper into a place where reality fractures, where decisions are irreversible, and where the line between what’s real and what’s imagined doesn’t exist. If you’re looking for a quick escape, The Last Letter isn’t for you. But if you're brave enough to walk through that door and face what’s on the other side, you might just uncover a truth that’s been waiting for you all along.

Vor 5 Jahren fand auf der Erde ein Ereignis statt, das heute als "Welterwachen" bekannt ist. Zu dieser Zeit veränderte sich die Welt vollständig. Mana erwachte in der Welt, Tore begannen sich zu öffnen, und vor den Augen jedes Menschen erschien ein holografischer Bildschirm, der seinen "Status" anzeigte. Jeder Mensch erhielt zu Beginn ein Talent, das von einfachen Fähigkeiten wie verbesserter Sehkraft bis zu verrückten Fantasiegebilden wie Pyrokinese reichte. Und innerhalb dieser Myriade von Fähigkeiten erweckte Damien eine räumliche Affinität mit der Fähigkeit "Kurzstreckenteleportation". Zuerst war er aufgeregt und dachte an intensive Kämpfe und die Erlangung großer Macht, aber die Realität schoss ihn schnell wieder zurück. Seine Fähigkeit funktionierte nur in einem Umkreis von 10 Metern um ihn selbst, und seine physischen Werte waren wahnsinnig schwach, so dass er nach ein paarmaligem Einsatz seiner Fähigkeit müde war. Enttäuscht von seiner Schwäche lebte Damien ein ruhiges Leben und tat alles, was er konnte, um über die Runden zu kommen, bis sich eines Tages alles änderte. Damien wurde verraten und in ein Tor geworfen, wo er sich in einem Labyrinth von Bestien alleine durchschlagen musste. An diesem Tag brach etwas in ihm zusammen. Er weigerte sich, länger schwach zu bleiben und den Kopf einzuziehen. Als er aus der Dunkelheit auftauchte, fand er sich in einer neuen Welt wieder und wusste nicht, wie er auf die Erde zurückkehren sollte. Aber er war nicht mehr derselbe Junge, der er war, als er das erste Mal fiel. ===== Diskord: https://discord.gg/sEfafFXazb ===== Titelbild von Lia.Audelia

WSA 2025 Entry What is a man, if not a vessel of hidden truths and whispered deceptions? Beneath the fragile facade lies a labyrinth of secrets—truths buried so deeply they intertwine with the lies we tell ourselves just to survive another day. The masks we wear may fool the world, but they cannot hide the fractures within. Even those we hold closest, the ones we entrust with our hearts, may be the very hands carving unseen wounds into our souls, feeding them to the monsters lurking in the shadows. He was never meant to uncover it. But when fragments of forgotten identities surface and unseen forces move in the shadows, Aramith is thrust into a web of deception, blood, and a history long buried. Worse still, within him stirs an attribute unlike any other—the strongest, yet the most chaotic. A power that bends to no master, a force that threatens to consume him whole. To wield it is to risk destruction; to reject it is to remain powerless. And yet, power alone does not reveal the truth, for blood tells no lies, flowing only when life is claimed, but even its crimson clarity is no guide to the truth. How does one find what is real when their very existence is a fractured mirror, splintered into shards that reflect only distorted glimpses of an identity lost? Each shard offers the promise of clarity, yet together, they form nothing but ruin. To uncover the truth is to face the darkness, and to risk losing what little remains of the self. For in the end, can a man truly hold a reflection if he no longer knows who—or what—he truly is?

Hidden from the ordinary world lies a mysterious dimension known as the Anomalous World. This realm can be accessed through a rare phenomenon called a glitch, where individuals are suddenly transported into labyrinth-like rooms inhabited by anomalies—unexplainable entities that defy the laws of nature. This world is boundless; even Level 0 alone consists of an infinite space with no end or clear boundaries. Each level varies in difficulty, and survivors trapped within must struggle to survive with limited resources while facing threats from various anomalies. These anomalies are classified into several classes based on their danger level and complexity. From the relatively harmless Easy Class, which can be avoided or captured with ease, to the highly intelligent and aggressive Extreme Class, which is nearly impossible to stop. Each anomaly has unique behaviors and requires specific methods to handle, making every level a distinct challenge. The Anomaly Foundation, an organization dedicated to researching, documenting, and monitoring this anomalous world, works to protect humans who accidentally enter it while ensuring the anomalies do not escape and threaten the real world. However, the Anomaly Foundation is not the only group interested in this realm. The World Government and Human Guards have their own agendas—some seek to exploit anomalies as weapons of mass destruction, while others aim to destroy the anomalous world to protect humanity. The anomalous world is divided into zones, such as the Survival Zone, where anomalies become active and attack, and the Death Zone, inhabited by Hard and Extreme Class anomalies, where even trained agents hesitate to enter. Beyond all this lies Level Space, an infinite expanse hiding even more terrifying secrets—entities that can think and speak like humans but are far more dangerous. In this world of mystery and peril, the struggle is not only between humans and anomalies but also among organizations with conflicting visions and missions. Who will survive? And will the anomalous world remain a secret, or will it become the greatest threat to humanity?
