Synopsis
In the year 2044, the world lies in ruin after a failed bioengineering experiment gave birth to the Vireborn—mutated, often monstrous beings twisted by corrupted kinetic energy. Some evolved to think, speak, and manipulate others, posing a threat far beyond brute force. Amid this broken world stands Jaziel “Jazz”, a geokinetic soldier who was raised as a test subject inside a covert facility called Ashen. After escaping, he seeks freedom, but soon learns that survival demands more than power. Alongside him are Tank, his fiercely loyal best friend, and Elena, a mysterious girl from a ruined district whose past and biology may hold keys to everything.

Chapter 1 - Prologue

Freedom,

What is it, really? A right? A dream? Or perhaps a lie we keep telling ourselves to soften the truth.

One word—yet it splinters into a thousand meanings depending on who speaks it.

Some call it the absence of restraint. Others say it's justice, fairness, or the right to choose.

But consider this: in a world with no laws—where you can steal, murder, and violate with impunity—would that be freedom? Or is it simply chaos parading in freedom's name?

Maybe true freedom cannot exist without justice. Maybe freedom, as we imagine it, has always been a contradiction—a condition humanity was never meant to reach.

In this story, freedom is not a destination.

It is a shadow on the wall.

A haunting echo in a world that has already collapsed under the weight of its own delusion.

Here, freedom… is fiction.
