The Paradox

On his 16th birthday, Herschl Sturm's life was shattered by a falling meteor. His mother-dead. His brother-missing. His world-changed forever. When he wakes, he sees an eerie light before losing consciousness. Then... nothing.

Two years later, society is split:
Viruses-those with supernatural abilities, hunted as threats.
Anti-Viruses-government-controlled enforcers trained to eliminate them.

Herschl, now hunted, searches for his missing brother. Along the way, he meets Atlas, an Anti-Virus soldier who hesitates to kill him, and Eli, a shape-shifting entity from a hidden lab. Their journey leads them to Pendulum City, an underground cyberpunk wasteland where the remnants of the past refuse to die.

Then the visions begin. Glimpses of the past. Fragments of the future. A horrifying truth-the world is trapped in a loop. And at the center of it all? Himself.

Now, he faces an impossible choice:
▶ Break the loop-and erase everything, including his loved ones.
▶ Accept the loop-and become the force controlling it all.
Two versions of Herschl. Two different paths. One inescapable paradox.
