Adam was meant to be among the chosen.
Having just graduated from school, he, like others, awaited the start of a new life—a future brimming with possibilities. But instead, the heavens tore open.
His classmates were ripped from reality. They were granted powers, a path, a destiny.
While they awoke in a new world, he opened his eyes in silence. Amid wreckage, corpses, and rust. Without a gift. Without a map. Without explanation.
On a planet where even the air kills, where the darkness whispers with a thousand dead voices.
In a world that died long ago—and was never truly alive.
A place where no one awaited him, and from which no one emerged unchanged.
Now he walks. Through pain, fear, and emptiness.
He seeks not power. He seeks truth.
Even if it means traversing Hell to find it.
Yet this world is but a mask.
Reality—a thin, trembling veil over a gaping abyss even gods dared not face.
Beneath it lies a whispering darkness, a distorted truth, and a cycle that devours itself… until someone dares descend and shatter the spiral from within.
