"I am the prison. I'm the warden. I'm also the key."
The world didn't end in fire.
It rotted while people were still alive. Fear seeped into humanity like corrosion. Some endured. Most didn't.
Those who broke twisted into monsters—predators born from what humans couldn't survive.
Bell survived two years in that world.
Not as a hero. Not as a chosen one.
Just someone cornered, worn down, betrayed, and left for dead.
Death should have claimed him.
Instead, something—cursed and incomprehensible—took hold.
It didn't save him. It didn't destroy him.
It changed him.
Now, fragments of memories from a future he barely remembers haunt him.
A few days before the apocalypse begins, Bell opens his eyes again.
He knows this:
If he loses himself again, humanity won't get another chance.
If he fails to navigate what he has inherited, he may be consumed by forces beyond his understanding.
And the more control he gains… the more the Abyss remembers what it once lost."I am the prison. I'm the warden. I'm also the key."
