The Mirror's Forbidden Code

published on Mar 10, 2025

In the glistening towers of Naxara City, scientist Tricia Austrell defies reality itself. Thanks to crystalline resonators and eigenstate-sensitive arrays, thought is no longer just an abstract force but directly forms objects from subatomic matter. 

After two of the most gifted scientists who discovered this technology vanish, Tricia is left with nothing but encrypted letters, conspiracy theories, and a force that defies all scientific explanation. It is dynamic, unpredictable, and might be watching her.

Tricia is forced to navigate a labyrinth of ambition, deceit, and the boundaries of consciousness itself as corporate power struggles and enigmatic forces threaten her. Can she manage the code before it consumes everything?

On Terra Lumina, Mekha Elefor discovers another kind of oddity. She established the most sophisticated virtual world ever as the founder of Luminos Interactive—until someone or something started changing the programming. The corruption spreads like a living entity, leading her to a hidden location deep in the Aisys Desert—one that doesn’t appear on any map.

Fans of Inception and Dark Matter will enjoy this high-concept sci-fi thriller that explores quantum consciousness, the ethics of experimentation and the fragility of human perception.
