In the brutal, unending virtual reality of the Galactic War, Kaelen is a veteran rebel fighter, his mind scarred by countless simulated battles against the alien Xylos. The world is a perpetual twilight of shattered cities and corrupted jungles, dictated by unseen High Command and the raw code of survival. But cracks are appearing in Kaelen's reality—glitches in the system, fragmented memories that don't fit the war narrative, and the unsettling suspicion that the Xylos are not what they seem. His fellow soldiers, like the pragmatic Anya, are focused solely on enduring the next mission, making Kaelen's growing obsession with the simulation's inconsistencies a dangerous isolation. He must navigate the deadly VR warzone, where betrayal is commonplace and death is merely a system reset, while simultaneously piecing together the truth from corrupted data streams and rumored 'Null Zones'—areas where the simulation's facade thins, hinting at the sterile, terrifying reality outside. As Kaelen delves deeper, building fragile alliances and questioning everything he's fought for, he confronts the horrifying possibility that the entire conflict, and his very identity within it, is an elaborate deception orchestrated by unknown manipulators. His mission shifts from surviving the war to uncovering the true architects of this fabricated reality, fighting not just the simulated enemy, but the system itself. The psychological toll is immense, blurring the lines between Kaelen the soldier and the man he might once have been. He must escape the simulation's control and expose the lie before the deception costs him his sanity, his life, or condemns countless others trapped within the Null Point.
