A digital construct—Felix’s consciousness within the Unseen Hand’s network. Darkness gives way to shifting fractals of light. Felix gasps, stumbling forward as the sensation of gravity returns. But he isn’t in the real world anymore—he’s inside the Architect’s core system, a vast, ever-changing digital landscape pulsing with raw intelligence.
Before him, a colossal entity looms, its form shifting between endless configurations—an impossible construct of pure data and ancient knowledge.
A voice echoes from every direction, layered and ancient. “You should not be here.”
Felix steadies himself, his breath coming in sharp, quick bursts. He looks up at the entity, defiant. “Neither should you.”
The entity shifts, processing. Threads of code weave around Felix, attempting to dissect his presence, to unmake him.
Felix is now inside the Architect’s consciousness—and if he can disrupt it, he might be able to end the Reset forever.
