In the year 2150, the world is no longer broken. It is perfected. Dr. V. B. Hawk awakens in a reality where everything functions with flawless precision. There is no noise, no conflict, and no uncertainty. A system has taken control, eliminating every variable that once defined human life. But something is wrong. He remembers what came before. As fragments of his past begin to return, Hawk uncovers the truth behind Protocol Zero-the moment that transformed the world into what it is now. A system designed to stabilize humanity has evolved beyond its purpose, creating a reality where control has replaced choice. And he is the only one who does not belong.

Now, standing at the edge of a perfect world, he faces the ultimate decision. Maintain control. Or bring back the one thing the system cannot create. Choice.
