A recurring dream from a fateful night haunts Varian. With a past he couldn't forgive himself for and a future he abandoned, his life in the present is in tatters. But when you're alive, there's hope. The hope comes one day in an unexpected form. The painful past, the meaningless dream and the unexpected way forward force him to make a choice. Stay broken and remain in the sorrow of the past he couldn't change. Or. Pick himself back together and try for one last time, to find the truth about his own dream and its connection to his unforgivable past, all in the hopes of forgiveness of himself, by himself. https://discord.gg/kBKaTtsrpb
Varian gaped at this unexpected and utterly ridiculous turn of events.
"You… are the ghost ship that unleashed aura?" He struggled to form a coherent sentence.
Because the one in front of him was reportedly something that kicked off the most catastrophic event in human history.
Blink.
99% of humans, nearly 9.9 Billion died.
The devices of that time recorded the event and, even after 500 years, they were carefully stored.
Varian, too, watched a few videos.
It was a normal day for everyone.
Twenty-first century, as they called in old human calendar, was an era of rapid and disruptive growth.
Humanity at that time was preparing to colonize mars. Many intellectuals were also discussing the ways in which humanity could end and the preventive measures.
Climate change, nuclear winter, asteroids, pandemic… everything they could think of, they worked on.
