EX//MACHINA: EXORDIUM

BOOK 1 OF 5

A symphony of pain, a cacophony of confusion, an orchestra of agony, a chorus of fear, and an abyss of oblivion.

These haunting emotions encapsulated Peter's existence when he awoke in a bewildering new world, guided only by a peculiar voice echoing within his mind and fragmented memories flitting through his consciousness. Driven by an insatiable curiosity to unravel the enigma of his identity and harness his latent powers, the resolute boy embarked on a quest for answers within the forbidden confines of Ark - a quarantined county where grotesque creatures and a sinister virus entwined with his destiny threaten to consume him.

As Peter navigated the treacherous labyrinth of his new reality, he encountered Kimiko, a girl bearing the weighty mantle of heir to a clandestine organization known as "Dead Hand". Her icy demeanor and unyielding arrogance concealed her deep ambitions-to persuade Peter to be her right hand in the machinations of this shadowy world. Peter's journey of self-discovery intertwines with Kimiko's mission to forge a formidable foundation to dismantle Hyperion. Together, they must confront the daunting stakes of escaping Ark alive and uncovering the mysteries shrouding Hyperion, the organization seemingly connected to the enigmatic incident in Ark.

This is the English translation of the eponymous book, originally penned in Brazilian Portuguese. Updates are (mostly) bi-weekly.
