The Unanchored
In Aeterna, people do not die.
Kai awakens in Sector 13 with no past, no identity, and no explanation for who he is. The sector is little more than a graveyard for the forgotten, a dumping ground where people survive by scavenging through mountains of discarded machinery and abandoned data.
The only person willing to help him is an old scavenger.
Under the old man's guidance, Kai learns how to survive in a world built from crystal, code, and laws. For a time, life is simple. Work. Eat. Sleep. Repeat.
Yet the deeper he looks, the more cracks he begins to notice.
Then Kai begins climbing toward the truth of Aeterna.
A world built upon forgotten lives.
A world where even memories can be edited.
A world where the greatest horror is not death.
In a society built upon order, memory, and data, Kai finds toward mysteries that should have remained buried.
Some truths can change a life.
Others can erase it.
And somewhere beyond the laws of the system, beyond memory, beyond identity itself, something is waiting.
Something that should not exist.
Something called a Glitch.
