Deos Ex Machina Part 1. Revelations
40 parts Ongoing MatureAkenos and Akira, twin brothers from a technologically advanced but isolated nation, take part in their year's aptitude test-an exam that determines their futures. But unbeknownst to them, the test is more than a measure of intelligence and skill-it's a recruitment tool for a secret government initiative.
When they emerge as the top candidates, they receive a cryptic directive: return to the government building on the first day of the new year. Until then, they are given no answers-only time and the unsettling realization that something about them is changing.
As they travel across their nation, seeking to understand why they were chosen, they begin to unearth secrets buried beneath the surface of their society. And as their world shifts, so do they. Their senses sharpen. Their bodies react in ways they can't explain. They are becoming something more-something unknown.
But until the new year arrives, they must pretend nothing has changed. Because if anyone finds out what's happening to them, their journey may end before it ever truly begins.
