Jon expected fear after blacking out.

Instead—

he found kindness.

THERE ARE OTHER WORLDS THAN THESE.

Jon thought the phrase was coincidence.

Then he started seeing it everywhere.

“He hasn’t been here in over a year.”

The problem was—

Jon knew that wasn’t true.

“THERE ARE OTHER WORLDS THAN THESE.”

Jon couldn’t stop staring at the words.

Because deep down—

he was starting to believe them.

I never touched it.

At least...

not first.

The moment I got close, it reached back.

And suddenly, I wasn't sure who had found who.

For a second...

I saw something on the other side.

Mountains.

Towers.

A sky that shouldn't exist.

Then it was gone.

At first he was just a silhouette.

Then he became a man.

And the closer he came...

the more I felt like he wasn't looking for the portal.

He was looking for me.

For a moment, I thought I was alone.

Then I noticed the figure standing beyond the doorway.

Watching.

Waiting.

And somehow...

it felt like it knew exactly who I was.

I kept telling myself there had to be an explanation.

A trick.
A hallucination.
A coincidence.

But the longer I stared...

the harder it became to deny the truth.

Nobody else reacted.

Nobody stared.

Nobody even slowed down.

They walked straight through it as if it wasn't there.

So why was I the only one who could see it?

At first it was just a silhouette.

A shape in the distance.

Then it started walking.

And somehow...

I knew it was coming for me.

#booktok #fantasybooks #darkfantasy #unboundrealm #kentwayne #fantasyreader #storytelling #bookreels #cinematic #portal

At first it was just a glimpse.

A flash of mountains.
A sky that didn't belong here.

Now the impossible was crossing into my world.

#booktok #fantasybooks #darkfantasy #unboundrealm #kentwayne #storytelling #fantasyreader #bookreels #cinematic #fantasyworld

First it was the doors.

Now it’s the windows.

And Dragon World is getting closer every day.

#TheUnboundRealm #DarkFantasy #FantasyBooks #PortalFantasy #PsychologicalFantasy #BookTok #FantasyReaders #KentWayne #DarkFantasyBooks #IndieAuthor

Every instinct told me to leave it alone.

Walk away.
Forget I ever saw it.

But the closer I got...

the harder it became to turn back.
