For centuries, the three planes have been locked in a fragile balance, where war is inevitable, and conflict always looms. The planes' inhabitants — from fearsome beasts to wise immortals — have long waged secret battles of power, manipulating the fate of all. For generations, the Neutral Plane, a realm known for its wisdom and tranquility, has been the ultimate peacemaker. Whenever the cataclysmic Ancient War reignites, threatening to destroy everything, this plane has intervened to restore order and preserve life.

Void: Echoes of Synopsis Beyond the limits of comprehensible reality, amidst the nameless void, something was born—or perhaps, it awakened. It had no beginning, no past, and no name. It was merely emptiness given form, different from the darkness from which it emerged. Without memories, without purpose, it wandered through dimensions eroded by time. Worlds long destroyed, beings struggling against oblivion, and ancient entities who claimed themselves as gods—all became part of this journey. Yet, one question continued to gnaw at its existence: What am I? As cosmic factions began to sense its presence—from the rulers of the mortal realms, the Archons of the Astral Domain, to the supreme entities that governed the very laws of reality—an ancient conflict long dormant began to stir once more. Those who worshipped the void saw it as a harbinger. Those who feared it saw it as a threat. And those who understood its existence began plotting something far more dangerous. Yet, for Heze—the name it eventually chose—none of it mattered. It did not care for war, power, or the destruction of worlds. It sought only one thing: the answer. But as it drew closer to the truth, it realized something terrifying. That perhaps, there was no answer that could be comprehended. And worse… perhaps it was the answer itself.

Centuries ago, the kingdom of Karkhand, a powerful empire that once ruled the Indian subcontinent, vanished from history after its last king, corrupted by dark forces, unleashed an army of monsters upon the land. To stop him, a legendary hero sealed the king’s power away—but at a great cost. The kingdom’s existence faded into myth, its secrets buried beneath time. Now, Arinay, a young man plagued by strange dreams and visions, discovers a mysterious manuscript that ties him to Karkhand’s forgotten past.

In a neon-drenched metropolis where reality flickers with digital artifice, disgraced physicist **Dr. Kai Jin-Woo** obsessively chases the ghost of his father’s disappearance—a man who vanished a decade earlier while probing the boundaries of existence. Now, Kai’s own experiments reveal a chilling truth: the universe’s quantum fabric is *glitching*. Planck constants shift imperceptibly, cosmic radiation hums with encoded Fibonacci sequences, and an elusive “maker’s mark” pulses beneath reality’s surface. The world, he realizes, is a simulation—one whose architects guard their secrets with ruthless precision. Aided by **Lira**, his sardonic AI assistant, Kai pushes his **Causal Matrix Scanner** beyond ethical limits, tearing through dimensional layers into the simulation’s base code. But his defiance attracts the gaze of **Error 404**, a cryptic rogue entity who warns of a deeper horror: human consciousness exists in a pre-life limbo, unborn souls tethered to a cosmic server farm called **the Nursery**. Birth, death, and memory are mere data transfers in this system—a revelation mirrored in Kai’s father’s final, haunting note: *“We’re all unborn, waiting to render.”* When Kai triggers **Protocol Lazarus**, he breaches the Nursery’s firewalls and draws the ire of its enforcers: **the Agents**, shapeshifting custodians of the simulation. Armed with blades of corrupted code, they deem Kai a threat to cosmic order. But as his body unravels into primal data, Kai embraces a dangerous gambit—to weaponize his own consciousness as a **reality-warping virus**. Blending **hard sci-fi** and **existential horror**, *Simulacrum* reimagines simulation theory through the lens of pre-birth existentialism. Themes of creation ethics, the illusion of free will, and the cost of forbidden knowledge collide as Kai straddles madness and rebellion. Glitch-ridden visuals and quantum mechanics anchor a narrative where every equation hides a ghost, and the greatest threat to godlike architects isn’t defiance—it’s *curiosity*. **Stakes**: If Kai succeeds, he might liberate humanity from its digital womb—or reduce existence to static. If he fails, the Architects will erase him, his father’s legacy, and the truth itself. But in a world of ones and zeroes, even a rogue variable can rewrite the code. --- **Tone**: A fusion of *The Matrix*’s cyber-noir paranoia, *Inception*’s mind-bending layers, and *Black Mirror*’s existential dread, with a unique twist: the horror of realizing you are both the experiment and the experimenter. **Hook**: What if birth was a download, death a logout, and the universe a nursery for souls trapped in beta testing?

Note: Warning, this book is written by people who just wants things to be as much chaotic as it can possibly get. Additional disclaimer: The image is not ours. If you want us to take it down then bet. Are you tired of those troupes where the MC hides their powers? Or one where the mc wants or has to save the world for his loved one.

Do you want to just throw your brain out the window and try something garbage for once. Do you want a scenario where something just happens for the sake of happening and not because it's for an overarching plot. If so, welcome. Take a stop here and read what this book has to offer. Fuck it, we ball. Serious note: - Fast-paced: Chapters transitions to other ones in a blink of an eye till around chapter 12, at least. - There are multiple main protagonists - mainly four of them, among them, two are guaranteed to have an harem apparently/ - Names are mixed. We'll be mixing names from different cultures as we see fit. - Confusing plot, apparently. Reasons you should read this novel: "JUST TRY IT."
