Re:Boot, The Awakening
He awoke beneath a shattered dome, surrounded by dust, memories, and the ghost of a woman who called him "son."
Two years after his creation, Calen—an emotionless synthetic boy with a fractured past and a hidden power—rises from stasis into a world on the brink of collapse. With only a dusty Victorian suit, a flickering AI named Echo who won’t shut up, and the cryptic remnants of his creator's legacy, Calen sets out to find his purpose… or perhaps rewrite it.
But he is not alone.
Across ruined empires and forgotten cities, eyes are already watching. Factions tied to demons, vampires, and ancient data-hunters seek the core hidden inside him—an artifact capable of rewriting the laws of soul and system alike.
Maestro, a porcelain-masked immortal with a smile sharper than steel, leads one such faction. And he remembers Calen’s creator all too well.
As the line between machine and man begins to blur, Calen must decide: is he just a remnant of someone else's dream... or the author of his own reboot?
