The first time I found the Ancient City, I thought I had reached the end of the world.

The caves had already gone quiet—too quiet. No mobs, no water, not even the usual echoes. Just silence… and then I saw it. Endless stone structures stretching into darkness, lit by faint, ghostly blue. The Deep Dark.

Every step felt wrong. The ground itself seemed alive, covered in strange blocks that pulsed softly beneath my feet. I didn’t understand them at first—until one misstep sent a shriek through the cavern.

That’s when I learned to fear sound.

I moved slower after that, placing each step carefully, watching the shadows between the ruins. In the center of the city, I found it: a massive frame, built from materials I had never seen before. It wasn’t broken. It wasn’t decoration.

It was waiting.

The structure hummed faintly, like it was breathing. Ancient carvings lined its edges, worn but deliberate. This wasn’t something natural. Someone—or something—had built this long ago.

A portal.

But not like the ones I knew.

No fire. No glow. Just darkness inside the frame, deeper than anything around it. When I got closer, the air grew colder. Heavier. Like the world itself didn’t want me there.

Then I heard it again—a distant vibration beneath the city.

Not a sound… a warning.

I realized then: this place wasn’t abandoned.

It was sealed.

And whatever lies beyond that portal… was never meant to be found.
