SECRET N ° 219 The Secret of the Three Worlds Chapter 2

Chapitre 2 : Le Souffle Gelé

En franchissant le portail vers le deuxiĂšme monde, Frost fut immĂ©diatement enveloppĂ© par un froid mordant, si intense qu’il semblait vouloir grignoter sa chair. Ce nouveau royaume, une Ă©tendue glacĂ©e sans fin, rĂ©sonnait du hurlement du vent, un cri primal qui Ă©voquait la souffrance d’un ĂȘtre en agonie. Le ciel Ă©tait d’un gris mĂ©tallique, parcouru de nuages lourds comme des marĂ©es de plomb, et la lumiĂšre, bien que prĂ©sente, semblait terne, emprisonnĂ©e dans une prison de glace.

Frost avança pĂ©niblement, ses pas crissant sur une neige compactĂ©e par des millĂ©naires de froid implacable. Autour de lui, la nature et la civilisation semblaient avoir fusionnĂ© dans une sculpture macabre figĂ©e par le gel. Des bĂątiments autrefois imposants Ă©taient recouverts de stalactites titanesques, leurs façades Ă©ventrĂ©es laissant entrevoir des fragments de vie quotidienne : des meubles en morceaux, des appareils technologiques recouverts de cristaux de glace, et des vĂȘtements abandonnĂ©s qui flottaient comme des fantĂŽmes dans le vent.

Ce monde, apprit-il en explorant les ruines, avait Ă©tĂ© autrefois prospĂšre. Ses habitants, visionnaires et ambitieux, avaient cherchĂ© Ă  repousser les limites de leur pouvoir sur la nature. ObnubilĂ©s par les ravages du rĂ©chauffement climatique, leurs scientifiques avaient conçu un projet colossal : le Renversement Climatique. En dĂ©ployant une technologie avancĂ©e pour refroidir l’atmosphĂšre, ils espĂ©raient restaurer l’équilibre Ă©cologique. Mais comme dans le premier monde, leur arrogance fut leur perte.

Le systĂšme, mal calibrĂ©, avait plongĂ© la planĂšte dans une spirale infernale. L’équilibre fragile de la nature, brisĂ©, s’était vengĂ© avec une brutalitĂ© implacable. Une Ăšre glaciaire artificielle avait englouti la surface, emprisonnant tout dans une Ă©ternelle nuit hivernale. Les survivants, incapables de combattre le froid, avaient sombrĂ© dans le dĂ©sespoir et l’anarchie.

Frost progressait Ă  travers cette dĂ©solation, luttant contre le vent glacial qui semblait vouloir le repousser. Il dĂ©couvrit des corps figĂ©s dans des poses tragiques sous une fine couche de givre, leurs expressions gelĂ©es racontant des histoires de peur et de lutte. Une mĂšre tenant son enfant dans ses bras, comme si elle pouvait le protĂ©ger du froid implacable. Un groupe d’hommes, armĂ©s, encerclant un feu Ă©teint, figĂ©s dans un dernier acte de dĂ©fiance. Chaque scĂšne renforçait le poids de l’histoire tragique de ce monde.

Au sommet d’une colline glacĂ©e, Frost trouva un complexe scientifique presque intact, enfermĂ© dans une carapace de glace qui l’avait protĂ©gĂ© de l’usure du temps. À l’intĂ©rieur, les couloirs Ă©taient silencieux, tapissĂ©s de givre. Des Ă©crans fissurĂ©s projetaient encore des messages d’alerte, leurs lumiĂšres vacillantes reflĂ©tant une Ă©poque de chaos. En fouillant les archives numĂ©riques, il parvint Ă  reconstituer les derniers jours de ce peuple.

Les enregistrements montraient des visages hagards, des scientifiques dĂ©battant frĂ©nĂ©tiquement dans une salle de contrĂŽle. Les images saccadĂ©es rĂ©vĂ©laient des foules en colĂšre, frappant aux portes du complexe pour rĂ©clamer des rĂ©ponses. Le Renversement Climatique, censĂ© sauver le monde, s’était retournĂ© contre eux. Une Ă©lite isolĂ©e, abritĂ©e dans ses bunkers, avait observĂ© depuis sa forteresse de technologie pendant que les masses mouraient de froid. Mais mĂȘme ces sanctuaires s’étaient rĂ©vĂ©lĂ©s insuffisants. Le froid, implacable, les avait tous rattrapĂ©s.

Dans une salle centrale, Frost trouva une inscription gravée sur un mur, presque effacée par le givre, mais encore lisible :
"Nous avons voulu jouer les architectes du monde. Nous sommes devenus les prisonniers de notre propre hiver."

Ces mots résonnÚrent en lui comme une condamnation universelle, une leçon que ce monde offrait aux suivants. Frost resta là un moment, regardant les drones gelés suspendus dans les airs, comme figés dans une pause tragique de leur dernier vol. Il ressentait un écho profond de solitude et de regret.

Ce monde Ă©tait mort, pensa-t-il avec amertume. Aucune chaleur, aucune force, aucun miracle ne pourrait jamais briser cette Ă©treinte glaciale. Frost quitta le complexe, le cƓur alourdi par le poids de cette nouvelle tragĂ©die.

Alors qu’il atteignait le portail qui le mĂšnerait au prochain monde, il se retourna une derniĂšre fois. Le hurlement du vent semblait presque murmurer un adieu. "Un autre monde perdu," murmura-t-il. Mais il serra les poings et avança. Chaque monde, chaque ruine, chaque leçon contribuait Ă  une vĂ©ritĂ© plus grande.

Et Frost n’avait pas encore abandonnĂ© l’espoir de la dĂ©couvrir.

Chapter 2: The Frozen Breath

Upon stepping through the portal to the second world, Frost was immediately enveloped by a biting cold, so intense it seemed to gnaw at his flesh. This new realm, an endless frozen expanse, echoed with the howling of the wind—a primal scream that evoked the suffering of a being in agony. The sky was a metallic gray, heavy with clouds like leaden tides, and the light, though present, felt dim, imprisoned within a cage of ice.

Frost trudged forward, his steps crunching on snow compacted by millennia of relentless cold. Around him, nature and civilization seemed to have fused into a macabre sculpture frozen in time. Once-imposing buildings were encased in titanic icicles, their shattered facades revealing fragments of daily life: broken furniture, technological devices encrusted with ice crystals, and abandoned clothing fluttering like ghosts in the wind.

This world, he learned as he explored the ruins, had once been prosperous. Its inhabitants, visionary and ambitious, had sought to push the limits of their control over nature. Obsessed with combating the ravages of climate change, their scientists had devised a colossal project: the Climate Reversal. By deploying advanced technology to cool the atmosphere, they hoped to restore ecological balance. But, as in the first world, their hubris became their downfall.

The poorly calibrated system had plunged the planet into a catastrophic spiral. The fragile equilibrium of nature, shattered, had retaliated with ruthless force. An artificial ice age had engulfed the surface, trapping everything in an eternal winter's night. The survivors, unable to combat the cold, descended into despair and anarchy.

Frost pressed on through this desolation, fighting against the icy wind that seemed intent on driving him back. He came across bodies frozen in tragic poses beneath a thin layer of frost, their frozen expressions telling stories of fear and struggle. A mother clutching her child as if to shield it from the merciless cold. A group of men, armed, huddled around an extinguished fire, frozen in one final act of defiance. Each scene deepened the weight of this world's tragic history.

At the summit of an icy hill, Frost found a nearly intact scientific complex, encased in a shell of ice that had protected it from the ravages of time. Inside, the hallways were silent, draped in frost. Cracked screens still displayed warning messages, their flickering lights a haunting reflection of a bygone era of chaos. Digging through digital archives, he pieced together the final days of this people.

The recordings showed haggard faces—scientists frantically debating in a control room. Grainy footage revealed angry crowds pounding on the complex's doors, demanding answers. The Climate Reversal, meant to save the world, had turned against them. An isolated elite, sheltered in their bunkers, had watched from their technological fortress as the masses froze to death. But even these sanctuaries proved inadequate. The cold, relentless, claimed them all.

In a central chamber, Frost discovered an inscription etched on a wall, almost erased by frost but still legible:
"We sought to play architects of the world. Instead, we became prisoners of our own winter."

These words resonated within him like a universal condemnation—a lesson this world offered to all who followed. Frost lingered there for a moment, gazing at frozen drones suspended mid-air, trapped in a tragic pause of their final flight. A profound echo of solitude and regret filled the air.

This world was dead, he thought bitterly. No warmth, no force, no miracle could ever break its icy grip. Frost left the complex, his heart heavy with the weight of yet another tragedy.

As he approached the portal to the next world, he turned back one last time. The howling wind seemed to whisper a farewell.
"Another lost world," he murmured. But he clenched his fists and moved forward. Every world, every ruin, every lesson contributed to a greater truth.

And Frost had not yet abandoned hope of discovering it.
