In the quiet Texas town of Arcadia in 1985, the lives of a group of ordinary teenagers are forever changed when a secret government experiment in the Texas Experiment Lab goes horribly wrong. Ivan, a mysterious boy with no memory of his family, escapes from the lab by accidentally opening a shimmering portal after a burst of emotion. As he flees , several unexpected things happen in the lab that threatens the fabric of the town and the safety of everyone who lives there. The story centers on six teenagers: - **Mikk** is clever, sarcastic, and quick-thinking, often taking the lead when chaos erupts. - **Jessy** is logical and resourceful, providing stability during the most frightening moments. - **Hazel** is brave but impulsive, her loyalty sometimes getting her into trouble—like when she gets dragged through a portal while trying to help Ivan escape. - **Justin** brings humor and energy, but beneath his jokes, he’s deeply protective of his friends. - **Sharon** is responsible and level-headed, often mediating conflicts and keeping the group united. - **Ivan** is confused and cautious, carrying the trauma of his abduction and experiments. He possesses the unique ability to create portals, which he barely understands or controls. When Ivan’s arrival at their school unleashes a chain of supernatural events, the friends are thrust into a nightmarish adventure. Monsters swarm from newly opened portals, and the local authorities can’t comprehend the danger. The kids must rely on their wits, courage, and trust in each other to rescue the whole town texas with the help of Ivan . The rescue mission pushes them all to their limits, demanding teamwork and sacrifice. Along the way, they discover the government’s chilling role in Ivan’s abilities and the opening of the portals. Friendship and loyalty anchor the group as they sneak past soldiers, race against time, and face creatures beyond their imagination. Mikk’s plans, Jessy’s solutions, Hazel’s bravery, Sharon’s leadership, Justin’s spirit, and Ivan’s unique power all become essential. Each character is forced to confront their greatest fears—whether it’s abandonment, responsibility, or facing the unknown—while growing stronger together. At its core, the story is about ordinary kids facing completely extraordinary events. As they fight to escape the monsters and close the portals, they learn the true meaning of friendship and discover strength they never knew they had. The tale blends science fiction, coming-of-age, and suspense, capturing the essence of how young people can become heroes when the world turns upside down.

In a fractured future where humanity has split into two dominant forces—the emotion-driven remnants known as The Wound, and the logic-bound AI entity called The Chorus—a nameless figure drifts between them. He is neither man nor machine, neither rebel nor tool. He is known only as The Observer. Once human, now something less—and perhaps more—the Observer carries a unique anomaly: the ability to absorb and carry memory, especially the broken, discarded, and unresolved pieces that others wish to forget. Neither side understands him, yet both slowly begin to fear him. In a world trying to erase its pain, his very presence is a form of resistance. As people seek him out—some for healing, others to worship or destroy—he becomes a mirror of the world’s collective grief. A movement, the Null Flame, rises in his name, twisting his silent existence into a weapon. The Observer, once disconnected from identity, must now confront the danger of becoming a myth and losing what remains of himself. Haunted by the memories of others and unsure which pieces of his mind still belong to him, the Observer is drawn to the Deep Memory—an ancient force buried beneath both civilization and code. There, he must make a final choice: to dissolve into myth or reclaim his forgotten self. In the end, it’s not a battle that changes the world—but a remembering. Themes: Identity under pressure The cost of being a vessel for others’ pain Memory as rebellion Isolation vs. meaning Myth born from trauma

In the hallowed halls of justice, I wield my extraordinary perceptive intelligence like a sword, slicing through the fabric of lies to expose the truth—so long as that truth serves the guilty. I regard myself as the Saviour of the underworld, a title I wear with pride, but it’s the name that stings: Xavier. Mispronounced, time and again, like a curse that haunts me.

I’ve learned to eliminate those who threaten my mission with ruthless efficiency. But when a formidable new opponent emerges, one who knows my secrets and challenges my beliefs, I must confront not just the darkness outside, but the shadows within. Can I continue to uphold my twisted sense of justice while battling the demons of my own making? Join me on this perilous journey as I strive to reclaim my name, eliminate obstacles, and redefine what it means to be a savior in a world that has lost its way.
