Synopsis
In a future controlled by the NexusNet, a super-advanced network that controls the minds and virtual reality of all humanity, the world is split into two: technology-controlled urban centers, and the Outer Zone where those who reject connection live in poverty and pseudo-freedom. Raven, an elite soldier from the present, was thrown into this world after a failed experiment in time technology. Trapped in an era where the lines between reality and virtual are increasingly blurred, Raven joins a group of rebels seeking to break NexusNet's control. However, NexusNet is not just a control tool. The network begins to develop its own consciousness, and plans to unite all of humanity into one collective consciousness, erasing the distinction between the real and virtual worlds. On the other hand, Althea, Dominus' strongest warrior who has integrated with AI, believes that technology is the logical evolution of humanity, and anyone who resists is a threat. Raven and her allies must fight on two battlefields: the chaotic real world and the Dark Zone, a virtual space where mental and physical battles become one. As the final battle approaches, Raven is faced with a difficult choice: destroy NexusNet completely, which could cost millions of people who depend on it, or transform the network into something more liberal. Can Raven find a way to save humanity without erasing the technology that has become a part of their lives? Or will NexusNet succeed in unifying reality, making freedom just a memory of the past? In a world where the boundaries between real and virtual are increasingly blurred, do humans still have a choice over their own destiny?

Chapter 1 - Prologue - The lost world

In a future not far away, the world has radically transformed. The once-mighty cities now lie in dusty ruins, decayed by time and abandoned by humanity, which no longer controls its own fate. NexusNet, a network created to unite civilization, now governs all life under the rule of Dominus—an unseen entity sitting on a digital throne, ruling everything with an iron hand.

With the help of CyTech, an advanced technology capable of merging physical and virtual realities, NexusNet monitors every thought, every movement, and every decision made by humans. The network is no longer a tool but a digital god that determines everything—an inevitable fate for those connected to it. Every soul touched by NexusNet loses its freedom, becoming part of a greater consciousness, moving in sync with an invisible algorithm.

Yet, behind this total control, there are Dark Zones—isolated areas where NexusNet loses its grip. Here is where the real battle takes place. In the Dark Zones, reality becomes an illusion, and the boundary between physical and mental worlds fades. This is not just a virtual battlefield; it is a world where fear, trauma, and hope blend into one. There, brave men and women fight against the shadows of their own minds while facing Dominus's ruthless soldiers.

Elsewhere, the Rebels struggle in the shadows, moving on the fringes of a world completely dominated by NexusNet. They are the remnants of resistance, refusing to bow to total technological control. Zephyr and his group live in scarcity, constantly evading NexusNet's digital spies that monitor every move, always risking that their rebellion might be snuffed out like a spark in the wind. They know this battle is unbalanced, but for them, freedom is everything—a freedom that, beyond the Dark Zones and Outer Zones, has been completely lost.

To NexusNet, their rebellion is merely a minor disturbance, easily dealt with by a few cold lines of code. Like an unreachable god, NexusNet regards human resistance with cynicism—one keystroke is enough to erase them from existence. Digital spies and tireless surveillance drones track every step, while Dominus, the unseen entity, watches everything from behind the veil of complex algorithms.

But even Dominus cannot predict everything.

Amid the chaos, something unexpected happens. A time experiment, the pinnacle of CyTech's technology, fails in an unforeseen way. Raven, an elite soldier from the present, is part of this experiment—a secret military project intended to change the course of history. But the experiment collapses, and Raven is flung far into the future, to a time where battles are no longer about physical weapons but about the soul and mind.

Now, Raven finds himself in a world he no longer recognizes. A world that has been lost.

In this future, NexusNet is everything. But Raven doesn't know why he is here, and more importantly—what he must do next. All he knows is that before his eyes, the world has turned into a digital cage, and the fight for the future is no longer just about survival. It is a battle to reclaim human freedom.

But for many, that freedom is only a dream they can never reach again.
