Fatuity
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end."In the soaring, hyper-tech metropolis of Lokh, electric neon lights hum against the stone walls of ancient, forgotten temples. To seventeen-year-old Vaibhav, Lokh is just a fast-paced, modern home where he hangs out with his best friends, Shlokh and Shourya. He thinks his life is completely predictable, safe, and ordinary.But reality is a fragile illusion.
Deep within the neon grid, an ancient cosmic cycle is awakening. Long before time began, a primordial explosion scattered the shards of divinity—sentient, reality-bending stones carrying unimaginable power. Among them stands the sovereign: The Black Stone, the Kaal Crystal. It doesn't just manipulate reality; it conceives it.During a routine day, the illusion shatters.
Vaibhav’s ordinary heartbeat violently synchronizes with the ancient, terrifying pulse of the Kaal Crystal.Simultaneously, the symptoms bleed into his friends: Shlokh’s throat burns with a sudden internal frost, and Shourya’s eye turns a blinding, predatory white.Hunted by shadowy corporate factions who want to harvest the stones, and haunted by a grinning cosmic horror that invades their nightmares, the trio is ripped out of Lokh and fractured across volatile elemental dimensions.
As the boundary between modern technology and ancient myth collapses, Vaibhav faces a terrifying truth: the cosmic stones don't just want hosts. They want to trigger the destruction phase of the cycle.To save his family and his world, Vaibhav must master a power that existed before the Big Bang—or watch reality fold like crumpled paper.
The universe is beginning to remember itself. Are you Vaibhav... or Prabhav?
