Lyra: “Where am I…? Who are you? I only remember dying.” Beep. System: “I am system. You have been saved by the cosmic management for a great cause granting you another chance. Take missions to help the society, gain points, level up.” Lyra: “And what happens to me...what if I refuse?” System: “Accomplished, better than your previous self…you live.” Beep. Timer appears on an open tab on her head with the count down from 5. Accept or decline. The system warns: “Attachment detected. Inefficiency will not be tolerated.” But Lyra can’t resist. Love becomes her rebellion, her greatest risk and the only thing that could destroy her. She was supposed to die unnoticed another bullied college student crushed by cruelty and silence. Instead, she wakes with a second chance and a system only she can see: cold pages, beeping warnings, and missions that push her from quiet survival into violent nights protecting a city that doesn’t know it’s under threat. As missions escalate and inhuman entities emerge from the underworld, she balances lectures by day and bloodshed by night, unlocking power at the cost of her humanity. The system forbids attachment. Love is marked as inefficiency. Then she saves a girl. What begins as coincidence turns into forbidden love deep, reckless, and defiant of the system’s warnings. But the truth is crueler than either of them imagined: the girl is tied to the underworld itself, and loving her may doom them both. In a world governed by cold order and cosmic management, love becomes the ultimate rebellion one that saves the world, but not the people brave enough to choose it.

“Some doors are locked for a reason. Some secrets survive because they were never meant to be found.” Thriller writer Nidhi Agarwal wanted only one thing from Manali — silence. A quiet guesthouse buried beneath snow seemed perfect for escaping deadlines, memories, and the noise of Delhi. Until she learns the lower wing isn’t empty. A man named Raghav Sheth appears at impossible hours, hides too many secrets, and watches the world like he’s waiting for something to happen. The locals avoid questions. Strange sounds echo through the wooden halls at night. And the deeper Nidhi digs, the more she realizes her fictional thrillers may have prepared her for one terrifying truth: Someone in that house is lying. As storms close the roads and danger inches closer, trust becomes a weapon — and attraction becomes the deadliest mistake of all. Because in Manali, buried secrets don’t stay buried forever. "CODE:FALCON". Every code has a price.

In 2085, the Institute of Quantum Physics in the Desert in Nevada, USA detected an abnormal time fluctuation. Astrophysicist Erin Carter discovered that Earth's time is reset in a cycle of 72 hours, and the only thing that retains memory is a group of "awakeners" whose brains are not erased by time due to the quantum entanglement effect. As the investigation deepened, Erin discovered that the source of the cycle was a "time cocoon" device from 12 billion light years away, deployed by an alien civilization called "Silent". The silent believe that any civilization that cannot break through the shackles of time should be eliminated to maintain the order of the entropy increase in the universe. Meanwhile, American society is in chaos due to the cycle: the rich try to monopolize reset the rules, the doomsday carnival broke out in slums, and the government plans to destroy the cocoon with nuclear weapons. Erin must join forces with the Awakener to crack the time code for a limited time and answer the ultimate question - is human beings worthy of being tolerated by the universe?
