Arin Sharma was just a systems engineer—until the world shattered.  

On July 27, 2032, Earth didn’t burn. It vanished.  

A rift tore the sky, and in an instant, the planet was ripped from its place in the cosmos, hurled into an unknown galaxy. Cities collapsed, continents shifted, and billions disappeared into silence. They called it The Shift.  

A year later, the world survives but doesn’t heal.  

Governments cling to power. Technology falters. Unfamiliar stars replace old constellations. And in the darkness beyond, something watches—ancient, patient, cold.  

Now, Arin drifts through a broken world, purposeless and haunted. But when he uncovers a secret buried in the ruins, he learns The Shift wasn’t random chaos.  

It was a signal. A warning. A beginning.  

And whatever answered… is coming.
