Chapter- 1: AWAKENING

A man in his 20s with brow eyes and fair looks wakes up in a desolate city, disoriented and unable to recall their name or how they got there. The streets are eerily silent, with abandoned cars and crumbling buildings casting long shadows in the pale light of dawn. Broken glass crunches underfoot as they stumble forward, each step weighed down by a splitting headache and an overwhelming sense of confusion.

Their clothes are torn and bloodstained, though they find no visible wounds. As they wander aimlessly, they come across a decrepit park where a lone beach holds a battered leather journal. Intrigued and desperate for answers, they pick it up and flip through pages. Inside, there are cryptic notes, strange symbols, and fragments of what appear to be coordinates and warnings. One phrase, scrawled repeatedly, catches their eye: "Trust no one."



Before they can make a sense of it, the sound of distant footsteps breaks the silence. Panic surges through them as they spot figures emerging from the shadows. The strangers are clad in dark, tactical gear, their faces obstructed by masks. They move with a predatory precision that sends a jolt of fear through the man.

Instinct takes over, and they clutch the journal tightly before breaking into a run. The pursuit is relentless; the figures move swiftly, their heavy boots echoing off the empty streets. The protagonist ducks into an alley, heart-pounding, and scales a fire escape to the rooftop of a nearby building. From this vantage point, they glimpse the vast expanse of the ruined city -- a once -thriving metropolis now reduced to an apocalyptic wasteland.

As they catch their breath, a fragmented memory surfaces: a flash of a bright light , a deafening roar, and the sense of being engulfed by chaos. The memory is fleeting, leaving behind more questions than answers Below, the figures spread out scanning the area with devices that emit faint, eerie glows. Realizing they can't stay hidden for long, the protagonist makes a daring leap to the next rooftop, narrowly avoiding detection.

Then find temporary refuge in an abandoned apartment building, barricading the door with broken furniture. By the candlelight, they exa.mine the journal more closely. Among the cryptic entries, they notice a sketch of a strange device and a reference to something called "Eclipse. " Though the pieces don't yet fit together, an undeniable sense of purpose begins to take the root. Whoever they are, and whatever happened, the journal holds the key to uncovering the truth.

But time is running out. The distant hum of drones grows louder, signaling that their pursuers are closing in. With a deep breath, the man steels themselves and slips into the night, determined to stay one step ahead and unravel the mystery that binds them to this desolate world. The man escapes through the desolate streets, weaving between abandoned vehicles and shadowy alleys.Then find a brief refuge in an old subway station, its walls scattered with graffiti and signs of hurried evacuation. A faint hum from their pursuer' drones echoes above, and they realize the city offers no safety. Determined to keep moving, they clutch the journal tightly, each step of urgency and the unshakable feeling that the answers lie just beyond their grasp.
