Dr. Cash Williams makes an appearance where he took Yun Ar to an enclosed facility where everyone has a routine and no one was allowed to go out. They have a controlled diet, lost their memories (again) and just being experimented by the government. Those gifted individuals pulled from different factions are the product of a cloning program of the government (including Dr. Williams. As their version/clone progresses, they lose more of their memories. Until one defective clone of Dr. Williams and Yun Ar escaped and was apprehended by the perfect cloned guards of the facility.

When they discovered the threat, they banded together to steal away from the facility and go to the nearest faction. Then, they were baffled when they discovered that the plague in their dreams didn't happen yet. It was as if they went back in time. Forced to be in hiding, the duo observed everything until the onset of the drone carriers (of the disease) was started. Then, the world fell into chaos as per the government's plan. Factions were formed and they saw themselves being taken into factions. The two agreed to communicate discreetly in a secret form of communication, however. They have to pretend to be their former selves and vowed not to be played. However, the forgetfulness began and the crazed need for the medicine burned in their subconscious. They fell again for the potion and woke up in the facility, however, this time, they retained their memories. They kept on going back time in time again to regain what they have lost until they discovered that the peddler was Dr. Williams himself (the original). Yun Ar was dead, everyone existed as clones and the potions he kept peddling was the antidote to the poisons implanted in their body and trigger to wake their dormant memories. As more and more people were discovered to have awaken from the hypnotism, they tasked their clones to band together and overthrow the central government. P.S. This is my first Sci-fi Novel. It has been in the backburner for so many years already and I think this is the perfect time for it to come to light. Enjoy and let me know what your think!!!
