In the shadow of Ironhold's black stone cliffs, Kael Ashborne feels the first true pull of the System's hidden architecture. A single marginal note in an ancient record—barely visible, easily overlooked—unlocks something far larger: Nexus Contact. The boundary between the world he knows and the deeper layers beneath it begins to thin.As Rift erosion accelerates and the city's ancient wards flicker, Kael must decide whether to chase the faint signal calling from the margins or turn away before it consumes him. Every choice leaves a mark. Every contact costs a fragment of what he once was.The System is listening. The margins are answering. And the next step cannot be undone.
