9 Kapitel Laufend ErwachseneninhaltIn a near-future society, every person wears a Cast - a sleek device that displays their inner fulfillment for all to see. Fulfillment is everything. It's currency. It's status. It's safety. The more fulfilled you are, the longer you live, the more respected you become. And if your Cast falls too low for too long? You're taken to The Verge, a place no one talks about... and few return from.
Kai Renner has it all. Fame, wealth, admiration. He's the face of success - glowing with fake fulfillment thanks to an illegal implant. But during a massive celebration in his honor, the system malfunctions... and reveals the truth. He's exposed, labeled as "critically unfulfilled," and chosen for transport.
But Kai isn't alone.
At The Verge, he finds a hidden world - a community of the "unfulfilled" who've all been cast out by the same rigged system. As Kai navigates this strange, stripped-down environment, each chapter uncovers a lie society sold as truth - and teaches a lesson on real fulfillment. Not the kind that glows. The kind that heals.
This is not a story of rising back to the top.
This is a story of breaking free from the idea that worth comes from winning.
Through love, pain, confrontation, erotic healing, and spiritual truth - Kai and the others begin to uncover something deeper than success: peace.
But the system doesn't like peace. It wants obedience.
And the final chapters will force Kai to choose:
Expose the system for what it is, or lose everything - again.
