In the year 2274, humanity stands on the edge of a new era. The Ascension Protocol, a revolutionary technology, promises immortality by transferring human consciousness into the vast digital expanse. The corporations call it evolution—the next step beyond flesh and mortality.

Determined to uncover the truth, Ren does the unthinkable—he enters the digital realm himself. But what he finds is not the utopia promised by the Ascension Protocol. It is a fractured, decaying world of forgotten souls, rogue AIs, and something far worse lurking in the dark between the code.

But the deeper he digs, the more he realizes the truth was never meant to be uncovered. Because Kaela’s disappearance was not an accident.

It was a warning.

And now, something knows he’s listening.
