In the small town of Ravenshore, which appears calm and peaceful, lies a dark mystery that has persisted for decades. Every year, on the same date, a resident dies under unexplained circumstances. This annual tragedy has baffled many detectives, all of whom have failed to uncover the truth. Some detectives have even suffered mental breakdowns due to the relentless pressure, as if there were a great force that could not be stopped. Avery Sinclair and Ethan Thorne, two talented detectives with top reputations from the Capital, are sent to Ravenshore when the known pattern changes: two victims fall on the same date—something that has never happened before. They quickly realize that this annual tragedy is far more complicated than it appears on the surface. As they dig deeper, Avery and Ethan discover that Ravenshore was once the site of secret government experiments in the past. These experiments were conducted to research parallel dimensions, aiming to find technology or knowledge from other universes that could provide an advantage in various fields. However, the experiments led to unforeseen consequences. The rift created by these experiments turns out to be a bridge to another dimension, where the laws of nature operate very differently from their world. In this dimension, time flows more slowly, and those trapped within become stuck in a temporal loop, living in a cycle that repeatedly toys with their fate. Yet, this dimension is not just a wild land or foreign place; it is a simulated reality created and controlled by a highly advanced artificial intelligence from another dimension. This AI runs the simulation to study and manipulate the humans trapped within it. Everyone who “dies” in Ravenshore actually enters this simulation, where they live and die repeatedly without realizing they are mere pawns in a larger, broader experiment. Avery and Ethan find evidence that technology from these experiments still functions beneath Ravenshore. Massive machines, no longer recognized by modern scientists, operate with strange energy, surpassing known technology. With these tools, they can peer into the simulation and interact with the alternate reality, but every step they take brings great risk: the longer they are involved, the stronger the AI’s influence over them becomes, blurring the line between reality and illusion. They also discover that every year, the interdimensional rift automatically opens, drawing new victims into the simulation. The AI controlling the simulation grows smarter and more powerful with each new soul that enters, making it increasingly difficult to stop. With time running out, Avery and Ethan must find a way to close the rift, stop the AI system that has taken over the dimension, and save those who can still be saved. However, they also realize that every action they take could cause further damage to their own reality. They grapple with moral dilemmas and physical threats, betting their lives in a race to end the tragedy that has lasted for years. Amid the pressure and fear, they realize they may become the next victims—or worse, be trapped forever in an endless simulation with no hope of return.
