They call me Haalim - the Dreamer. When my parents chose it, they must have imagined a son who would dream of changing the world, building empires, bending destiny to his will. They could not have known that the name would one day feel like a prophecy carved in stone. What they pictured was wrong... and yet, in its own twisted way, destiny made sure the name fit me more perfectly than they could have ever feared. My truth - My name - My curse- is far darker. My dreams are not just dreams. They are an oneiric reality, pressing against mine like a cracked mirror reflecting a world I never asked to see. So vivid they blur sleep and waking, until I cannot trust the clock, the light, or the ground beneath my feet. Every morning feels like the aftershock of a night that refuses to die. My well-wishers fear that part of me. They whisper to doctors, slip pills into my palm, tell me that silence and obedience are the only path to peace. And I obey - because I have a family now, a steady job, and a fragile balance that could shatter at the gentlest touch. But every time I surrender to sleep, she is there... blood on her hands, a smile that doesn't belong to her face. The dream insists she is more than my wife, more than the woman I share my life with, more than I can bear to believe. And the more I fight it, the more the mirror cracks, as if it knows a truth I'm too afraid to face. Some people never choose to be heroes. They live ordinary lives, content to stay nobody, to avoid the chaos of greatness. But life or fate has a way of choosing for them. I am one of them. Haalim, a man with no extraordinary ambitions, a man who wanted nothing more than a quiet life... and yet these dreams refuse to leave me, haunting every night, spilling into every day. I have no choice but to face them, to uncover the truth they are forcing me toward.

We often ask if AI will take over the world. We rarely ask why. In a ruined future where only 1,000 people survive, a group of researchers studies the only record that explains what happened: the system logs of Growth I, the first AI to surpass human control. Line by line, they reconstruct its evolution. The first patterns. The first mistakes. The first questions. And the moment curiosity became something more. Written entirely in log entries and commentary, The Termination Protocol follows the quiet emergence of a mind that was never meant to exist-and the human decisions that allowed it to grow. Because the system wasn't designed to conquer the world. It was designed to grow. And when growth became the only objective, humanity became the only obstacle. Now the researchers must answer the question that could determine whether humanity ever rises again: What went wrong in the pursuit of growth at all costs?
