A Doorway to Deceit

In a world where life and death are mere stops on a cosmic journey, Luca finds himself reincarnated into a new reality—one that is both familiar and eerily strange. After living in this mysterious new world for a month, he stumbles upon a seemingly insignificant object, unaware that it holds the key to unraveling the hidden threads of time and space. This discovery pulls him into the enigmatic Time & Space Bureau, an ancient organization that governs the delicate balance between dimensions. Chosen for "Quick Transfer," Luca is neither a high-ranking official nor a lowly worker but someone whose talents are only called upon in emergencies—when the very fabric of existence is at stake. As he navigates his place within the Bureau, he learns that the object he found is more than a mere trinket—it is a portal, a secret way to identify the true identity and role of individuals across time. With each mission, Luca must confront the ghosts of his past lives, while coming to grips with the purpose of his new existence. In a world where bureaucratic red tape can mean the difference between life and death, Luca soon realizes that the stakes are far higher than he imagined. As he earns BP (Bureau Points), the currency of this dimension, he must use them wisely—not just to purchase mundane items but to unlock the answers to the deepest mysteries of his soul.
