He didn't set out to change the world.
He only wanted to understand it.
Why every system fails.
Why power always concentrates.
Why no matter the design, the outcome is always the same.
Until he found something no one else had seen.
A pattern.
A flaw buried so deep inside every system that no one had ever questioned it.
And once he saw it...
He couldn't unsee it.
What began as an idea became a design.
What became a design became a system.
And what became a system... began to look back.
This is the origin of the mirror.
And the moment everything changed.
Before the system.
Before the mirror.
Before the awakening.
This is the beginning.
A prequel to The Return of God.
