The storm didn’t come from the skies. It came from within.Two weeks after Leon Carter shattered the final fragment of the parasite system, the world had grown louder. No longer muffled by code, screens, and pre-programmed comfort, people began to feel again. And not everyone knew how to handle that.Riots broke out in the Western Sectors. Families who had been living in simulated peace woke to find their children staring blankly into mirrors, asking why the voices had stopped. The Eastern Expanse collapsed into blackouts—its power grid dependent on the very core that had now been vaporized.In the absence of control, a vacuum was born.And in that vacuum, a new faction rose.They called themselves The Faithful Reign.They believed the system had been a divine voice. That Leon Carter had murdered God.Leon sat beneath a crumbling statue in a forgotten border town known as Ashmire. The wind carried the ash of burned memory farms, and the once-perfect city towers nearby now loomed like

The winds over Blackreach had gone still. For the first time in years, the ground beneath Leon Carter’s feet didn’t hum with hidden code or whisper lies through the wires. The tower was gone, and with it, a major artery of the system.But silence was never just silence.Calia stared at the debris field, her hands trembling around the scanner. Bren knelt beside the child clone—Mara’s “sister,” or what the system had crafted to become her replacement. The girl didn’t speak. She hadn’t moved since the collapse, only stared upward like she was still seeing data crawl across the sky.Leon stood apart, watching the sunrise through a haze of ash. His ears still rang with the echo of the final scream—the system’s collapse, localized but furious. He had expected relief.Instead, he felt watched.“Leon,” Calia said, approaching him. “Something’s wrong.”He didn’t turn. “Tell me.”“I shut down everything. Ran three sweeps. All signals are dead—except one.”She handed him the scanner.One pulse.

The northern skyline of New Arcadia trembled under a bruised-purple dawn. A cool wind swept down the alleys, carrying echoes of the past night’s battle from the undercity. But above, all was quiet. Too quiet.Leon Carter didn’t trust quiet anymore.He, Mara, Calia, and Bren took refuge in an abandoned tram station on the edge of District Twelve. The signs still blinked fake arrival times and the walls flickered with graffiti that moved like digital ink. No one talked much. Everyone was processing the same thing: they’d destroyed a major node, disrupted the signal, and freed a group of believers.But it hadn’t stopped the system.Mara stood at the platform’s edge, watching as a fake train glided by on ghost tracks. Her mind had been full of fragments since the node fell. Each hour that passed, she remembered something new: a childhood memory rewritten, a decision she never made, a thought planted like a seed and grown without her consent. She was still unraveling who she really was—and
Part 109
Dawn’s pale light filtered through the cracked windows of the old textile mill where Leon and Mara had taken refuge. Myriad threads of dust drifted like ghosts in the shaft of morning sun, and the only sound was the distant hum of a generator someone had jury-rigged to power a single bare bulb. Sleeping on metal beams had given Leon a stiff back, but the ache paled beside the weight of what still lay ahead.He rose quietly, careful not to wake Mara. She lay curled beneath a tattered blanket, her face at peace despite the battles she’d survived. Leon brewed a pot of coffee on the little stove they’d salvaged, inhaling its acrid steam as he watched her sleep. In his pocket lay the silver sphere—the last failsafe—grown cold with potential, waiting for the moment it would decide the fate of the fractured world.The door rattled. Leon tensed and lifted his rifle. Bren staggered in, leaning on his cane, face etched with fresh cuts.“It’s time,” Bren rasped. “The signal’s active again. It’s
