Paths of Akashic 5: The Expanse

Conflict in the new universe is ebbing, its seeds of upheaval and chaos waning, stripping those meant to grow from meaningful challenge—a state the System cannot abide. At the heart of the 12th universe, a new realm emerges, threatening to expand and consume all should it be ignored. After bonding with Nivareth, the Ryser clan has a decision to make one that would change their fate and uproot and change all they had built so far. The System has created a new greater realm at the heart of their universe, and now they need to decide how to proceed. Will they put their entire clan's fate on the line or only send a select few to delve its depths. Unfortunately, old grudges die hard. While they plan and prepare, a ghost from their past comes back to haunt them. The Ryser Clan's sanctuary has been found, its location exposed to those who would see the threat they posed extinguished for good and their worlds burned.
