Fantasy

The signs were there. No one listened.
    Fifty years ago, a child was born with a prophecy etched into his mind:
    [The Ones Beyond seek the world and its Sparks.]
    He was not alone.
    Across the world, children followed—each carrying the same vision, each driven to madness by glimpses of a future no one believed in.
    They screamed warnings. They were ignored. Locked away. Buried.
    Then the world ended.
    The planet trembled.
    The galaxy convulsed.
    The universe fractured.
    Dimensional Gates tore open. Monsters emerged. Reality evolved.
    Survival became a privilege.
    —
    Uriel is a death row inmate, condemned for crimes that ensured the world would never mourn him.
    On the night of his execution, a stranger appears—calm, composed, and impossibly out of place.
    “I come from the future.”
    And with him, a way out.
    Not salvation. Not redemption.
    A bargain.
    Because no gift from fate comes without a cost.
    “Let’s make a deal.”
