I assembled you here to win a war, not to turn all of you into cannon fodder.” Sohel took a deep breath and looked out over his squad. “Now, let me ask again, does anybody want to leave?

His hands quiver out of despair and helplessness. "Wang Lan Biyu, keep your eyes on me. Do not fade away yet, do you hear me? I don't permit you to die!"

"You-*gasp..still want *gasp to act better than me..in the end*cough-" His eyes redden as another splash of red covers her pale lips. "Lan Biyu..." "-Chuanli*cough my guqin from master,...you hold onto it for me...ok?" Her last sentence was a faint weak whisper before her eyes flutter close shaking his heart and rattling his mind. "Lan Biyu!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Please be civilized and don't steal my cover as your own.

In the year 2184, love is manufactured, families are artificial, and the natural human connection is a distant memory. Society thrives within the bounds of strict norms: virtual intimacy replaces the physical, and traditional relationships are viewed as relics of an ancient past. Toshi, a quiet but inquisitive student, and Aiko, an introspective young woman nursing a broken heart, find themselves out of sync with the world around them. A seemingly ordinary question ignites a cascade of discoveries: Why has humanity forgotten its past? As Toshi and Aiko delve deeper into forbidden history, they uncover a secret buried in the foundation of their society—one that reveals the truth about their world’s origins and its ultimate purpose. But their search for answers doesn’t go unnoticed. When an unseen entity intervenes, pulling the strings from the shadows, Toshi and Aiko are forced to confront terrifying possibilities. Is their reality what it seems, or are they part of an experiment far grander than they could have imagined? Every step forward brings them closer to a choice: risk everything to find the truth or surrender to the comfort of the lie. --Cover Art By: facebook.com/long.hand.3517
