Welcome to Tessera, a planet where consistency is uncommon. Every 13 days and 4 hours, the world hits the reset button in a terrifying, geological event known simply as the Shift. If you were planning to build a retirement home, tough luck, Tessera specializes in instant demolition and landscape reconfiguration, which is why civilization is long gone and humanity is hanging on by a thread. Meet Cyrus Solith, our socially anxious and perpetually conflicted protagonist. He’s not seeking glory; he’s seeking a single person he lost years ago. His internal life is a chaotic mess, but his external capabilities are anything but, thanks to the mysterious Patterns, geometric markings that grant extraordinary abilities. Cyrus finds himself reluctantly partnered with Rem, a hyper-logical genius who understands the world’s power system better than anyone, even without a Pattern herself. Their co-dependent journey is about survival, but fate has other plans, constantly pushing them toward the world’s central mystery: why did the Shifts start, and how can they possibly be stopped? The first leg of their epic journey throws them immediately into the deep end, forcing Cyrus to confront his greatest weakness...the habit of running away. If he wants to survive the next two weeks, he’ll have to get stronger, smarter, and face the fact that the person hunting him might be closer than he thinks. What You'll Find Inside: A Unique World: A constantly reconfiguring planet where life is a nomadic, high-stakes gamble. The Pattern System: A dynamic magic system based on geometry and mathematics. High-Stakes Combat: Intense, strategic fights where speed and intellect matter more than brute force. Complex Relationships: A strained, co-dependent relationship between an emotionally avoidant protagonist and his hyper-logical foil. Existential Mystery: A quest to uncover the planet's history and stop the cataclysmic Shifts before humanity vanishes entirely.

Never breathed. He only spoke, and waited. One day, Lilith suddenly heard the future echo of a stranger approaching: > "She will kill you on the seventh day." Father laughed, a resounding, echoing sound, as if he had been waiting for that moment for a very long time.

In each other, they find familiarity in pain and comfort in the silence between words. But what starts as a fragile connection soon spirals into something far more consuming.
