Siphon and Specter Part 1
William Bahl
In a dimension where reality bends and betrayal breathes, rookie smuggler Nate stumbles into Ipsulor—a realm of warped gravity, rogue portals, and one rule: trust no one. His mission? Deliver the Siphon, a device powerful enough to dismantle the Rifters Guild's ironclad control over interdimensional travel. But when a cunning con artist, Kysta, strips him of the Siphon—and his dignity—Nate's simple job spirals into a lethal game of shifting allegiances.
Kysta, revealed as the brilliant double-agent Laneea, plays both sides: selling the Siphon to her volatile ex-lover, crime lord Kroost, while manipulating Nate through her unwitting pawn, the enigmatic Jeek. Meanwhile, the fanatical Rifters Guild deploys Ziidik, a merciless enforcer, to hunt down every traitor—including Laneea's crew—with sadistic precision.
Teamed with Avee, a shape-shifting guide as unpredictable as Ipsulor itself, Nate navigates neon-drenched criminal empires and the Guild's slaughterhouses. But when a reckless venture into the Grey Realm binds an ancient specter to Laneea's psyche, the stakes detonate. As factions collide in the labyrinthine city of Fornryre, attraction ignites between Nate and Laneea—even as her spectral hitchhiker plots its own catastrophic rebirth.
In a crescendo of chaos, Laneea gambles everything to unleash the specter into Ipsulor's portals, crippling the Guild in a storm of disintegrating enforcers. But victory bleeds into dread: the entity within her stirs, hungry. Reality fractures. Trust shatters. And Nate realizes too late that in Ipsulor, every alliance is a trapdoor—and survival demands becoming as ruthless as the dimension itself.
A high-octane blend of interdimensional heists, psychic horrors, and noir-esque betrayal, SIPHON AND SPECTER Part 1 pits flawed schemers against collapsing realities—where the greatest threat isn't the Guild… but what they've unleashed.
