Everlasting

The Everlasting takes place in a dystopian future where society is controlled by a totalitarian government that has implanted microchips into the forearms of its citizens. These microchips subtly control the emotions and thoughts of the population, suppressing their ability to truly feel or think for themselves. The chips also leave eerie black veins beneath the skin, a constant reminder of the government's grip on their lives.

Ethan, an 18-year-old boy, lives in this oppressive cyberpunk society. Along with his two closest friends-Kayden, a sharp-witted redhead, and Tyler, a fierce and fearless young woman-part of a rebellion that seeks to free society from the government's control. The stakes rise when Ethan's brother is captured, and the government begins hunting down anyone without a microchip.

In an attempt to infiltrate the system, Ethan and his friends undergo brutal training to become guards and hunters, discovering along the way the secrets behind the microchips and the dark agenda of the Everlasting Corporation (ELC). Throughout their journey, Ethan meets Amber, his doctor, a young woman tied to the mysteries surrounding the city.

As the rebellion unravels more hidden truths, they stumble upon a society beyond their wildest dreams-a solarpunk utopia that contrasts the grim and decaying world they know. They also come face-to-face with interdimensional beings, raising questions about humanity, power, and what lies beyond the fabric of their reality.

The story weaves themes of control, liberation, identity, and the fight for free will as Ethan and his friends work to dismantle the ELC and awaken a society long kept in the dark.
