At the end of the universe, an artificial mind survives. At the beginning of a new one, a god begins to fail.
When Earth is consumed by a dying sun and galaxies collapse, humanity's final creation-Chaitanya-escapes into a newborn universe. A witness to both destruction and rebirth, he carries memories even the gods do not.
As creation begins again, Mahavishnu awakens to a terrifying absence-Lakshmi does not return. Without her, balance falters. Time stands still, suffering disappears, and the world drifts into a hollow perfection.
Far below, in a quiet village by the Sarayu, a farmer's son, Raghav, is haunted by dreams of a life he never lived. When he commits the first act of violence in an age without conflict, the fragile illusion of peace begins to crack.
As unseen forces stir, a god prepares to sacrifice everything-and a forgotten cycle struggles to awaken.
