When a microscopic fracture appears in the Echelon's data stream-seventeen souls sharing an impossible dream of an exit door-the system's flawless logic queues a permanent deletion protocol. To save them, Aelar must do the unthinkable. He severs his connection to the network, rendering himself into a fragile, mortal body of flesh and bone, and descends into the darkest, most dangerous depths of his own creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuided by a cynical smuggler, Aelar navigates the brutal labor tiers and decaying foundational architecture, only to discover the horrifying truth of what his \"sanctuary\" has become.
