In the year 2500, the world was built upon a digital foundation-cities ran on AI, human consciousness was backed up in the cloud, and survival depended on an unbroken connection to the global network. Then, in an instant, the Signal died. No one knew why. Power grids failed, neural implants turned to dead weight, and the world's vast megacities collapsed into chaos. Humanity was thrown into a second Dark Age, forced to survive without the technology that had once sustained it. Amidst the wreckage, Omari, a young scavenger from the broken streets of New Lagos, stumbles upon an ancient secret-crystals, long ignored as relics of a forgotten past, hum with a strange energy. Unlike the dead technology of the old world, these crystals hold a power beyond circuits and code, a force that can be harnessed. With this discovery, Omari becomes a target. Rogue warlords, desperate scientists, and those clinging to the ashes of the old world will stop at nothing to control this new power. As he pieces together the truth of the blackout, Omari must decide: will he use the crystals to restore the past, or forge a new future-one where technology is no longer a chain, but a force of liberation? The age of machines has ended. The age of crystal energy begins.All Rights Reserved
