Jaden Cross is a young man trying to survive in the shadows of Neo-Lagos, a futuristic city where the poor live in broken homes and forgotten slums. Orphaned at six and forced to grow up fast, Jaden spends his days fixing scraps and dreaming of a better world—a world he believes he’ll never see.

Until one night, everything changes.

A mysterious glowing orb appears in the sky and connects with Jaden’s mind, activating the Tech Architect System—a powerful, sci-fi interface that gives him access to futuristic blueprints, instant-building tools, and system quests that reward him for solving real-world problems.

His first quest? Restore power to his neighborhood using solar microgrids.

Soon, Jaden is building cooling shelters, clean energy systems, and AI-run apartments—one project at a time. But with each success, he draws more attention. The city’s leaders want to control him. A rival from the tech underworld wants to steal the system. And darker forces are watching from the skies, waiting for the Architect to grow.

Armed with only his mind, his hands, and the Tech Architect System, Jaden must rise from the ruins of poverty and become the builder of a new future.

But in a city full of secrets, will he remain its hero… or become its biggest threat?

Words from the Loom, [LOOM INTEGRITY CRITICAL: SEEK SUSTAINABLE POWER SOURCE. RISK OF ANCHOR COLLAPSE. TIME REMAINING: UNKNOWN. POSSIBLE SOLUTION: ANCIENT SPIRAL BASIN NEXUS.], reverberated in Jaden's mind, a cold hammer blow of reality. Genesis held its breath, encased in the shimmering, chaotic dome of the Temporal Anchor, its very existence balanced on the knife-edge of the Loom's failing power. The visionary leader, now a living paradox, was about to step into the abyss, knowing that if he failed, Genesis would not just be erased, but would cease to have ever existed, its very memory purged from the annals of time.
