My Space-Time System

When his palm got in contact with the wall, what looked like a hexagram with six rings at the vertex appeared.

The glow from the array began spreading out into smaller arrays that filled all corners of the room, forming a larger array that left everyone including the system stunned.

Before they could snap out of their reverie, the lights from the arrays began increasing in intensity forcing the trio to cover their eyes.

  "…" After a few seconds, the trio noticed that the intensity of the light had reduced so they opened their eyes only to see a well-equipped lab.

"The fuck just happened? Where are we this time?" Blake asked as he looked around the laboratory.

At this point, he wasn't sure if he was meant to be sad or happy, because there was a chance that they were out of the underground facility or to a different side of it, but that also meant they would begin from scratch and their maps would be rendered useless.

[You didn't go anywhere, the office changed to this. Let me show you.] Unlike the human eyes that couldn't handle the intensity of light rays above a certain threshold, the system didn't need an eye to see what was going on. So, it proceeded to show Blake its memories.

A portal appeared out of thin air and warped the furniture and file cabinets to an unknown location, leaving an empty office.

The walls began burning as if low flames were placed close to a sheet of paper. Everything including the pictures hung on the walls began burning, revealing multiple magical machines that seemed to be taking some sort of readings and pieces of laboratory furniture.

The top part of the wall burned away, leaving a magically reinforced glass, and right in front of Blake was a full reinforced double glass door, but what shocked both the system and the trio was what it saw on the other side.

"Before we go through that door I think we have to know what's going." Brian and Castiel nodded in unison. They were confused and at this point moving forward without having a clear idea of what was going on would cause more harm than good.

[You remember what I told you about a concealed space? This is exactly the same thing.] The system said.

"Are you saying I activated an array that sent us to a concealed space?" Blake asked.

[No, the reverse is the case.] The system simultaneously answered Blake, while trying to figure out what was going on at the other side of the glass door, but it soon noticed that its replies were only adding more to their confusion.

[When you cracked the last array and the entry point to the concealed space opened and you guys walked through it. What happened now is that you activated the exit point of the concealed space.]

I wasn't even able to sense anything because of those arrays and just in case you want to ask, I don't have a clue about what those arrays were.] The system explained causing the trio to open their mouths agape in shock.

"Are you saying that if I hadn't found that array, it would have been impossible for us to walk out the same door we came through? Like a trap behind trap?] Blake asked with disbelief and astonishment written all over his face.

"Who the fuck owns this place?" Blake asked with a hint of fear and worry in his tone.

The fact that someone would place another trap just after one thought he/she was successful, made him feel like he was in a horror movie where none of the captives escaped because their psychopath captor was leagues above them.

"I don't feel comfortable here, so let's check things out and get the hell out of here..." Blake said as he approached the machines.

"Can you read it?" When the trio approached the machine, they saw symbols that were meant to be a language but had nothing in common with Jotu.

(AN: There is a problem that I just discovered, and that is language. When I started the novel I was a complete rookie and didn't specify the language of the natives of Infinite realm. Now to address the problem. The language is called Jotu and the system that came in the form of an ash ball of light automatically gives them the knowledge of Jotu.)

[Yes I can. This is the universal language of Infinite realm which was used before the extinction of the other races but has been lost to time.] The system said.

[As for the translation, these are just readings and if my guess is correct it should be from there.] The system pointed at the place behind the magically reinforced glass.

"Before we check it out I think we should get more info about it." Blake's suggestion received nods because none of them wanted to be mistakenly turned to zombies or mutated because they thought it was something else.

Blake approached one of the laboratory tables and after having the system confirm twice that there was no trap, Blake opened one of its cabinets and found a journal.

[Translation: Finally! Synchronization of the crystals with the arrays was a big success. Next up stabilizing it.] The system translated as Blake flipped the pages.

[The synchronization was a success but afterward, the crystals became more unstable than I had predicted and if not that I contained it just in time, I would have been blown to bits! I wonder what caused it?] Blake kept flipping the pages and from what he understood so far it was the journal of the researcher who was carrying out the experiments on the things in the other room.

[Day 1 of examining the cause of the instability in the nova crystals: Didn't get a single clue of the problem and it is quite disappointing especially after the synchronization, but hey, if I give up immediately then why am I a researcher?]

"I think I need a seat." After reading about the first day, Blake knew he was about to read a long series of trials and failures.
