What if reality was never real-and your awakening was the key to the soul?
Kalen wakes to silence-not the quiet of peace, but the stillness of a world on pause. Fractures ripple through the environment like corrupted code, and he begins to see things others can't: recursive layers, strange signals, echoes of something greater.
As digital anomalies spread across the landscape, four lives begin to intertwine-Kalen, Tess, Kieran, and Ava-each bound by memories they can't explain and relationships they no longer trust. Guided by a mysterious signal and pursued by an entity known only as The Programmer, they uncover a truth more profound than they imagined:
Their world is a simulation. Their existence, artificial. Their souls... evolving.
But when a forgotten shard of ancient code triggers the activation of the Root Protocol, Kalen and Tess are thrust into a journey beyond the digital veil-into the very fabric of creation. What begins as a search for truth becomes a test of identity, sacrifice, and love in a universe where destiny is written not in fate, but in code.
