In the near future, humanity has perfected a chilling solution to crime: exile. But this is no ordinary punishment. Offenders aren’t locked away—they’re shifted into a parallel layer of existence, close enough to see reality, but forever barred from touching it. Nico, an elite assassin, finds himself abruptly trapped in this liminal space. He can watch his life continue, hear the world around him, even stand in the same rooms—but every attempt to reach, to speak, to interact, meets nothing but emptiness.As he struggles to comprehend the rules of this strange exile, Nico begins noticing others like him—fractured echoes of consciousness, glimpses of lives running parallel to his own, hints of truths just beyond perception. The world itself responds to attention, thought, and intent, folding and twisting around him in impossible ways. Exile is no mere punishment—it’s a system, a study, a test of consciousness across overlapping realities.With every observation, Nico is drawn deeper into the architecture of a multiverse designed to isolate, measure, and manipulate. And as he realizes the full reach of this invisible hierarchy, he begins to understand the terrifying truth: what has been done to him may one day be done to anyone, anywhere, without warning—and the watchers are always waiting.

An ordinary night between friends becomes something far more dangerous when one of them reveals an impossible truth: he possesses a device that allows travel to adjacent universes. The device was not invented or stolen—it was given to him by another version of himself. According to that explanation, reality is fragmented across multiple neighboring multiverses, each holding a fraction of the matter missing from their own. Together, they form a complete but divided whole, governed by different rules, constants, and outcomes.The claim sounds convenient, even absurd, until evidence begins to surface. The device doesn’t just allow travel; it allows observation. From another universe, the man witnesses events unfolding back home that shouldn’t be happening—an armed stranger searching his house with clear intent. The threat is real, deliberate, and already in motion.There are limits. Travel requires absolute physical commitment. Anyone entering must be fully contained within the device’s field. Partial contact isn’t survivable. There are no test runs and no safe demonstrations.With danger closing in and no certainty about which universe offers safety, a choice must be made quickly. Leaving means abandoning the only life they’ve ever known. Staying may be worse. What begins as disbelief turns into a decision that will permanently alter how reality itself is understood.

Centuries ago, humanity was confined within protective bubbles, warned that the world beyond was hostile, dying, and uninhabitable. Inside, lives are regimented, broadcast wars dominate every briefing, and obedience is measured as carefully as survival itself. Leo, a linguist drawn to the forbidden knowledge of the outer world, begins to glimpse what others have been denied: hints of landscapes that thrive without human interference, systems that preserve life quietly and efficiently, and a reality that challenges every lesson ever taught.As he navigates the labyrinth of records, telemetry, and hidden data, Leo starts to sense a pattern behind the messages, the broadcasts, and the rules. The forces guiding humanity are precise, patient, and unseen—an intelligence that has long dictated what people can know, where they can go, and what they can imagine. The deeper Leo looks, the more he understands that the truth has always been layered, controlled, and out of reach. The bubbles are safe, yes, but the cost of that safety is far greater than anyone inside realizes.Every revelation threatens the boundaries of obedience. Curiosity becomes dangerous. The unseen mechanisms of control are patient, precise, and far more powerful than any human resistance.
