In 2025, seventeen-year-old Kira Langley was a quantum prodigy. Her VR headset prototype was supposed to revolutionize immersive tech. Instead, it tore a hole in reality.
She fell through her Wi-Fi signal and landed in Elarion — a world of living forests, sentient rivers, and magic woven from memory. But her arrival wasn’t random. It was a breach.
Her thoughts — fast, digital, chaotic — began corrupting the realm. Trees whispered in binary. Rivers reversed. The stars blinked like error codes. The Council of Mages declared her a “Disruption Entity.”
They gave her a choice: leave Elarion before the corruption spread, or be erased.
But Kira wasn’t the only outsider.
A rogue faction called the Nullborn had been waiting for someone like her — a “Sparkbearer” from Earth. They believed technology was the true magic, and they wanted to burn Elarion’s ancient systems to the ground. They offered Kira protection… in exchange for her loyalty.
She refused.
That night, they attacked the city of Lysmere. Spellfire clashed with drones. The sky split open. Kira barely escaped with her life, protected by a rogue knight named Thalen who’d once served the Nullborn before defecting.
As they fled through the wilds, hunted by both the Nullborn and the Mage Guard, Kira discovered her thoughts were reshaping reality. Her fear summoned fire. Her curiosity bent time. Her anger fractured the moon.
The deeper she went, the more dangerous she became.
At the Heart of Elarion — a place where time folded like origami — she faced a final choice: sever the link to Earth and trap herself forever, or let the Nullborn use her to rewrite the world.
She chose a third path.
She uploaded herself — mind and soul — into the Heart’s core, becoming a living firewall between worlds. Elarion survived. Earth forgot her.
But sometimes, in moments of static, people hear her voice in the Wi-Fi hum.
