Kirch was never just a child.
He was born in a laboratory, raised by two scientists who shaped him as a project: his mother, cold and methodical; his father, obsessed with perfecting him. Throughout his childhood, parts of his body were replaced, each modification presented as a gift... and each improvement as a step toward a goal that wasn't his own.
Confined, with only robots for company, Kirch dreamed of a world he had never known. Until a secret connection to the network revealed the truth: he had no childhood-only a design.
Now, he must decide how to live when his life was never truly his own.

War beyond galaxies. We used to fear nuclear bombs. Now we fear the collapse of space itself. We thought we were building the future. We didn't realise we were rewriting it. This isn't just a story. This is our future.Complete
