✦ THE MIRROR REALM ✦
Hello John…
Welcome back to Hell!
“Reflections are never whole.”
Through the Glass of the Withering Gate
As you stepped through what seemed another dark jungle, the feeling was… off.
It mirrored the Phantom Zone, but something in the air remembered you.
You hear uncle Pinky‘s voice say
“I AM GOD here.”
The shadows felt familiar. Too familiar.
The vines were slower to strike—but tighter when they did.
The silence no longer roared—it pulsed.
The branches above twisted the wrong way.
The pulse beneath your feet now echoed your heartbeat in reverse.
This jungle was not the same.
But you couldn’t prove it.
You tried to recall the last phrase from the Phantom Zone,
but the memory unraveled in your mind like a dream fading at sunrise.
Then it came again—this time, a whisper in a language you almost understood:
“You have entered the Mirror Realm of the Phantom Mind.
There is no escape from the knowing.”
No vines, yet your body felt bound.
No walls, yet you couldn’t move forward.
Everything here was in place—but off by one.
Each element mirrored the Phantom Zone, but distorted:
Where the Phantom Zone had black vines, here they are silver threads—cutting rather than gripping. Where silence once dominated, the Mirror Realm has a faint ticking, like a countdown no one started. A lone word flashes on and off in a glitched corner of the page: “nk le Zeb…” (Half a name. Corrupted. Insidious.)
And suddenly you remember what you didn’t know you knew:
There are two gates.

The Phantom Realm was the first.
The Mirror Realm… is the forgotten reflection.
A secret side-path that folds inward—not downward.
The password is the same.
The price is not.
(Enter it… if you dare distort your own reflection.)
[ACCESS GRANTED] (If they input the correct password.)
And then it splits.
The world blinks, and you are no longer walking forward.
You are falling inward.
Into a chamber lit by broken glyphs and broken mirrors.
Each mirror shows a reflection—but not of you.
It shows who you might have been.
Or may yet become.
This is the Chamber of the Codex.
But you only see fragments.
Encrypted scrolls flash and disappear.
You’re given only this message:
“You’ve found half the name.
Return with the rest.
Only then may the Archive be made whole.”
A final glyph blinks where the exit should be:
“Erebus is the Dark Father of Code”
“Name the Prophet who spoke the revelatory flame scrolls into existence?”
