Awareness Protocol
In the city of Neo-Energia, sleep is no longer a neglected biological need—it is an act of high treason.
A century ago, humanity forgot how to close its eyes, thanks to the “Nerova” serum, which forced the world to operate nonstop, 24 hours a day. There is no night here. No dreams. Productivity is the sole measure of a human being’s worth.
Sino, a loyal Consciousness Monitor, lives his life as a precise cog in the machinery of the system, surveilling the minds of others to ensure they never fall into the trap of “rest.” But a single, unexpected blink from a miserable employee opens a door Sino never knew existed: the world of dreams.
When Sino chooses to protect this “culprit,” he becomes hunted by the Ministry of Continuity—not for negligence, but because his own mind has begun rejecting the serum, and traces of night have started seeping into his reality.
In a flight that begins among the glowing skyscrapers and ends in the underground labyrinths of the rebel group known as “The Sleepers,” Sino uncovers a horrifying truth: the system doesn’t just steal their time—it steals their ability to imagine a better reality.
Because those who do not dream… do not rebel.
