But not all is hopeless on Tartarus, for if a prisoner manages to survive and win enough points in the death game before their eighteenth birthday- they will be given the ultimate prize. Freedom, and the choice of committing one crime, without punishment. **will update twice a week, Wednesday and Sunday**

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?

What is the way to the truth. This has been a question since ancient times, with many asking and few finding answers. Those who do find it each have their own path, yet all paths lead to the same destination. There are seven legends in this world worth exploring, originating from the seventh movement, sung by the ancients... Legends say the world exists in multiple dimensions, coexisting yet possibly invisible to one another. Legends say those who can transcend dimensions with their spirit are considered immortals or gods. Legends say the moon serves as a bridge for yin and also plays a crucial role in dissipating karma. In this world, existence relies on the balance between merit and karma; an excess of karma leads to annihilation, while an excess of merit results in ascension to higher dimensions. Legends say both annihilation and ascension require passing through judgment. Legends say in higher dimensions, the separation between Darkness and light(Underworld and world) no longer exists; distances can be traversed in moments, freeing one from the burdens of life. Legends say rules define boundaries, while the unpredictable serves as a test. Legends say dreams within dreams are all part of this world... Ancestor Lord Ma once said, "The Ma family has a clever little rabbit, always you...!" Thus, the world came to know of the narcoleptic patient, Ma Lang, the cold madman thrown into the nightmare world, and the story that unfolds in this peculiar, half-dimensional world that is neither here nor there!
