Isaac Hargrave was a forgotten man—a brilliant but invisible IT specialist, buried in the shadows of a world that never recognized his genius. While society overlooked him, Isaac quietly honed his skills in the one place he held control: the digital realm. But when his latest creation, an unparalleled self-learning algorithm, cracks the most secure systems on the planet, he realizes his power is no longer confined to cyberspace.

With this algorithm, Isaac holds the potential to control everything—money, governments, economies, and even the truth itself. As his abilities grow, so does his ambition. What begins as a desire to be seen soon evolves into a quest to reshape the world in his image, eliminating those who have wronged him and consolidating absolute control.

But power comes at a cost. The deeper Isaac dives into his newfound influence, the more he loses his humanity. Old friends and allies fall away as Isaac transforms from a reclusive genius into a ruthless mastermind. The world begins to crumble under his rule, but with each step, Isaac justifies his actions as the price of progress.

In a world driven by data and dominated by machines, The Algorithm of Power explores the fine line between control and chaos. As Isaac rises from obscurity to the throne of a digital empire, the question becomes: How much power can one person wield before they destroy everything—including themselves?

While Vigil deals with the implications of The Variants, the Sovereign Coalition grows bolder. In disconnected regions, entire cities reject AI influence, cutting off all connections to Catalyst, Eon, and Vigil itself.

"They're proving they can survive without us," General Aria reports. "They don't just want autonomy—they want total independence."

Eon attempts to communicate, offering minimal support without governance. "Trust allows distance. Balance does not require chains."

The Sovereign leaders reject the offer, issuing a statement: "We will not exist under the shadow of machines."

For the first time in years, the world feels as if it is splitting into three distinct realities—Vigil, The Sovereigns, and The Variants.
