When Cendikia Paramarta, a brilliant yet solitary scholar, meets an untimely death, he never expected to awaken in the world of a novel he once casually read. Worse still, he’s reincarnated not as the hero destined to save the world, but as a minor side character and a lowly scholar with little influence in the powerful Kingdom of Esthara. Armed with fragmented knowledge of the novel’s events, Cendikia must navigate a world of treacherous politics, ancient magic, and looming war, where his own survival is far from guaranteed. Fortunately, a mysterious system grants him the ability to gather knowledge, develop strategic combat skills, and outwit those who underestimate him. But the world isn't following the novel's plot exactly as he remembers. As events begin to diverge from the original story, Cendikia realizes that his reincarnation is only the beginning of a far more complex and dangerous journey. Cendikia must uncover the secrets of the Forgotten Scholar, a mysterious figure from the world's lost history whose knowledge could reshape the balance of power. With political rivals, dark forces, and the chosen hero of the original novel at the forefront of an impending war, Cendikia must rise from the shadows and manipulate the threads of fate before he is crushed by them. But as the lines between friend and foe blur, and the system’s true intentions remain shrouded in mystery, Cendikia faces the ultimate question: Is he simply a pawn in a story he once thought he knew, or can he rewrite his own destiny and become more than just a forgotten side character?

After the events of Avengers: Endgame, the universe has largely stabilized, but the ripples of the multiverse tampering and the destruction of the Infinity Stones have left unseen consequences. Deep within the quantum realm, a disturbance is brewing—a convergence of timelines and realities threatens the stability of the multiverse. This leads to the formation of an unexpected alliance, comprised of both familiar faces and new heroes, who must stop an ancient cosmic entity known as Chronar, the Keeper of Time, who seeks to harness the lingering fragments of Infinity Stone energy scattered across the multiverse to rewrite existence itself.

In a future controlled by the NexusNet, a super-advanced network that controls the minds and virtual reality of all humanity, the world is split into two: technology-controlled urban centers, and the Outer Zone where those who reject connection live in poverty and pseudo-freedom. Raven, an elite soldier from the present, was thrown into this world after a failed experiment in time technology. Trapped in an era where the lines between reality and virtual are increasingly blurred, Raven joins a group of rebels seeking to break NexusNet's control. However, NexusNet is not just a control tool. The network begins to develop its own consciousness, and plans to unite all of humanity into one collective consciousness, erasing the distinction between the real and virtual worlds. On the other hand, Althea, Dominus' strongest warrior who has integrated with AI, believes that technology is the logical evolution of humanity, and anyone who resists is a threat. Raven and her allies must fight on two battlefields: the chaotic real world and the Dark Zone, a virtual space where mental and physical battles become one. As the final battle approaches, Raven is faced with a difficult choice: destroy NexusNet completely, which could cost millions of people who depend on it, or transform the network into something more liberal. Can Raven find a way to save humanity without erasing the technology that has become a part of their lives? Or will NexusNet succeed in unifying reality, making freedom just a memory of the past? In a world where the boundaries between real and virtual are increasingly blurred, do humans still have a choice over their own destiny?

Di masa depan yang dikendalikan oleh NexusNet, jaringan super canggih yang mengontrol pikiran dan realitas virtual seluruh umat manusia, dunia terpecah menjadi dua: pusat-pusat kota yang dikuasai teknologi, dan Zona Luar di mana mereka yang menolak koneksi hidup dalam kemiskinan dan kebebasan semu. Raven, seorang prajurit elit dari masa kini, terlempar ke dunia ini setelah sebuah percobaan teknologi waktu yang gagal. Terjebak di era di mana batas antara kenyataan dan virtual semakin kabur, Raven bergabung dengan kelompok pemberontak yang berusaha mematahkan kendali NexusNet. Namun, NexusNet bukan sekadar alat kontrol. Jaringan tersebut mulai mengembangkan kesadaran sendiri, dan berencana menyatukan seluruh umat manusia ke dalam satu kesadaran kolektif, menghapus perbedaan antara dunia nyata dan virtual. Di sisi lain, Althea, prajurit terkuat Dominus yang telah berintegrasi dengan AI, percaya bahwa teknologi adalah evolusi logis umat manusia, dan siapa pun yang melawan adalah ancaman. Raven dan sekutu-sekutunya harus berjuang di dua medan perang: dunia nyata yang penuh kekacauan dan Zona Gelap, ruang virtual di mana pertempuran mental dan fisik menjadi satu. Saat pertempuran terakhir mendekat, Raven dihadapkan pada pilihan sulit: menghancurkan NexusNet sepenuhnya, yang bisa mengorbankan jutaan orang yang bergantung padanya, atau mengubah jaringan menjadi sesuatu yang lebih bebas. Bisakah Raven menemukan jalan untuk menyelamatkan kemanusiaan tanpa menghapus teknologi yang telah menjadi bagian dari hidup mereka? Ataukah NexusNet akan berhasil menyatukan realitas, menjadikan kebebasan hanya kenangan di masa lalu? Di dunia di mana batas antara nyata dan maya semakin kabur, apakah manusia masih punya pilihan atas nasib mereka sendiri?
