First Storyline: The Struggles of a Working-Class Man

Protagonist: Eli White

• Age: 29

• Occupation: Mid-tier Technician (Greenlight Experience Maintenance Engineer)

• Background: Drowning in debt, working endlessly for corporate overlords, exhausted but unable to break free from the system.

Act 1: The Daily Oppression

📍 United Metropolis S-17, Industrial Zone – Dreamscape Entertainment™

Eli White was a "Greenlight Experience Maintenance Engineer"—a fancy title for a glorified technician.
His job? Ensuring that the elite's Greenlight chambers functioned perfectly, so they could indulge in their dream worlds.

Yet, he himself could never afford to escape into those fantasies.

"If even dreams have a price tag… then what does that make us?"

Every day, Eli dragged his weary body through the corporate corridors.

• Punching in at the cold AI-controlled clock-in machine.

• Eating cheap, synthetic meal packs in the break room.

• Repeating the same meaningless work over and over.

The company fed them lies of ambition:
"If you work hard enough, things will get better."
"Just keep grinding, and one day you’ll move to a better district."

But the harder Eli worked, the more his debts increased.

Act 2: An Accidental Discovery

One day, Eli received a maintenance request for a server malfunction in a restricted underground facility.

His clearance should never have allowed access, but the system glitch opened a door meant to stay shut.

Inside, he found a hidden archive room labeled:
🔒 [CONFIDENTIAL FILE: Ω-1111]

His rational mind screamed at him to walk away.
But something inside him—something tired, something desperate for answers—forced him to open the file.

What he saw changed everything.

The screen displayed security footage from an elite Greenlight testing facility.

Inside, wealthy users were hooked up to experience pods.

Then, something went horribly wrong.

• Their bodies convulsed violently.

• Their eyes glowed with an eerie green light.

• Their bones twisted, their skin darkened, and within seconds, they became something else.

A single line of text scrolled across the screen:

“Greenlight was never truly sealed… it has only been waiting to awaken.”

Eli staggered backward, heart pounding.

He had just stumbled upon something no one was supposed to see.

Act 3: Awakening

Suddenly—ALARM SIRENS BLARED.

🚨 "Unauthorized access detected." 🚨
🚨 "Security protocol activated." 🚨

The AI security system locked down the facility. Armed surveillance drones swarmed in.

🔊 "Eli White, you have violated data security regulations. Surrender immediately, or face termination."

Eli ran.

For the first time in his life, he had a reason to run.

He had to escape.
He had to warn the world.
But…

Would anyone even believe him?

Second Storyline: The Scientist’s Struggle

Protagonist: Dr. Alia Corvin

• Age: 38

• Occupation: Senior Biologist, former government scientist

• Background: Once a high-ranking researcher in the Greenlight Containment Project, but later expelled, erased, and forced into hiding.

Act 1: The Truth Behind the Containment Project

Dr. Alia Corvin had once been a loyal scientist working for the government.

She knew the truth—

The "containment project" was never about sealing Greenlight.

It was about weaponizing it.

The government’s true goal had always been:

• Controlling Greenlight.

• Harnessing it for power.

• Selling it to the highest bidder.

But when Alia tried to expose the truth, she was exiled, stripped of her credentials, and hunted as a fugitive.

Now, she worked in secrecy, studying the cycle of destruction that had repeated throughout history.

“If this cycle has happened before… can it be broken?”

Act 2: The Forgotten Archives

One night, while scanning through ancient digital records, she uncovered something terrifying—

📖 [Malkuth’s Research Log] (Handwritten, Prehistoric Era)

Her hands trembled as she flipped through the pages.

"I once believed I could control it, but I was wrong."
"It is not power. It is a chain, forged by the past."
"When the black petals fall, all will return to nothingness."

Her breath caught in her throat.

🔹 Black petals?

She slowly turned to her air filtration system.

And there, resting on the dust-covered filter, was a single black petal.

Act 3: The Final Choice

Alia realized—

"The seal is breaking. If we do not act now, the world will be consumed."

But then came the real dilemma:

🔹 Should she attempt to contain Greenlight again, using technology? (A temporary fix, delaying the inevitable?)
🔹 Or should she destroy every trace of Greenlight’s research, collapsing society to save it?

There was no right answer.
Only sacrifice.

Final Chapter: The Crossing of Fates

Eli and Alia met by chance—or perhaps by fate.

A corporate technician, running from a secret he never should have seen.
A disgraced scientist, desperately trying to prevent the end.

They stood atop a ruined skyscraper, watching United Metropolis S-17 fall into chaos.

The city was burning.

• Greenlight mutants rampaged through the slums.

• The rich still partied in their Sky Cities, blind to the coming storm.

• The government crumbled, too divided to act.

Was this… the end?

Or was this… just another cycle?

Act 1: The Old King Awakens

Deep beneath the city, an ancient facility shuddered as its containment locks failed.

A figure opened his eyes.

His skin was cracked and scarred, his veins pulsed with green light.

He stood.

"I have returned."

His name was Malkuth.

He had witnessed civilizations rise and fall.

He had once caused their destruction.

And now—
he watched history repeat itself.

Act 2: The Final Question

Alia and Eli turned to face Malkuth.

"Can we stop this?" Alia whispered.

Malkuth shook his head.

"No."

Eli clenched his fists, rage in his voice.

"Then what the hell are we supposed to do?"

Malkuth gazed at them, his expression unreadable.

"The world will always choose its own destruction."
"Your choice is not to stop it, but to decide… how you will face it."

Act 3: A Beautiful Tragedy

💀 The elites perished in their dream worlds.
💀 The poor burned in their streets.
💀 The city crumbled, swallowed by the storm.

As the final black petal fell, Malkuth, Eli, and Alia stood in the ruins, bearing witness.

"The gears have begun turning… this is not the end."

Darkness swallowed the world.

And then—

A cry pierced the silence.

A newborn baby opened its eyes.

His irises shimmered green.

Epilogue: The Cycle Begins Again

The world ended.

The world began.

The cycle continues.

But next time…
Will it be any different?

Nobody knows.
