Lost in Tomorrow

Joon never had an easy life. Growing up in a struggling village, where water was scarce and survival was a daily battle, he knew the value of every grain of rice, every drop of sweat. But one night, he closed his eyes in his small, broken home… and woke up in a world that wasn’t his own.

A future so advanced it felt like a dream—until he realized the nightmare beneath it.

People live in luxury, but they are nothing more than prisoners of their own screens. Their minds are empty, filled only with advertisements and meaningless entertainment. No one thinks. No one questions. No one lives.

And somehow, Joon has a power he never had before—he can hear their thoughts. But their thoughts are not their own.

Desperate to find a way back home, Joon stumbles upon a shocking truth: he is not the only one from the past. Somewhere in this soulless world, another traveler exists—one with telekinetic abilities. But where is he? And why were they brought here?

As Joon searches for answers, he realizes something terrifying: this world isn’t just a dystopian future—it’s a carefully controlled experiment. And now that he’s awake, they are watching.

With a relentless AI hunting him, a mysterious girl who seems to know more than she says, and time running out, Joon must uncover the secrets of this world before he loses himself to it.

Because in a place where no one remembers what it means to be human, the cost of freedom might be his own mind.

Lost in Tomorrow

Joon groaned as Sohyun helped him to his feet. "You're late."

She rolled her eyes. "You're welcome."

They hurried away from the alley before any more trouble could find them. Joon's mind was still reeling from what he had learned. The telekinetic had mentioned something—the core. And whatever it was, it was connected to the city's existence.

"Do you know who that guy was?" Joon asked as they ducked into an abandoned building.

Sohyun hesitated before nodding. "His name is Daehyun. He's not just a traveler like us—he's part of something bigger. Something... controlled."

Joon frowned. "You mean someone's using him?"

She sighed. "Not just him. All of them. There's an entire network working behind the scenes, controlling the city's systems. They don't want you finding the truth."

Joon ran a hand through his hair. "Then we're running out of time."

Sohyun handed him a water bottle, her expression serious. "If we're going to take on Daehyun and whoever's behind this, we need to find allies."

Joon nodded. He had been fighting alone for too long. But now, things were different.

The war for the truth had only just begun.
