SYNOPSIS: Arin Sharma was just a cyber expert, until the world ended. On May 14 Earth didn’t burn. It vanished. A rift tore open the sky, and in a heartbeat, the planet was ripped from its orbit and hurled into a distant, hostile galaxy. Cities collapsed, continents shifted, and billions vanished in a single breath. They called it The Shift, an extinction event without fire or warning. A year later, Earth survives… but it doesn’t heal. Technology decays. Governments fracture. Familiar stars are gone, replaced by unfamiliar constellations and a creeping sense that something out there is watching—ancient, silent, and cold. The world has become a haunted carcass, crawling with horrors born of desperation, alien science, and human arrogance. In this fractured world, Arin drifts without purpose, plagued by guilt and silence. Until he discovers a buried secret beneath the ruins of what once was—a message encoded in alien signals. The Shift wasn’t random. It was a warning. And someone, or something, has responded. Now, Arin must navigate a planet that has become unrecognizable twisted by alien biology and infected with human ambition gone mad. Monstrous creatures roam the wastelands, mutations of man and beast, warped by invasive DNA, parasitic growths, or fusions of flesh and rogue technology. Bioengineered horrors, once created for protection, have turned predator. Humanity has splintered into warring factions, some worshipping the new gods in the stars, others performing experiments on survivors in a race to evolve… or survive. In the shadows, the true invaders stir, eldritch beings beyond comprehension, whose mere presence bends reality and time, driving minds to madness. They are not here to conquer. They are here to reclaim. Amid gore-soaked survival, betrayal, and the collapse of morality, Arin races to uncover the truth of what Earth has become—and what it is becoming. Along the way, he will face tragedy, treason, body horror, and cosmic terror, forced to decide not just how to survive… but whether humanity deserves to. Because The Shift wasn’t the end. It was the prologue. And what comes next is worse.
