What if everything you see… isn't real?
The sky was clear. The city felt alive. People walked, talked, laughed—just another ordinary day.
But something was wrong.
It began with silence.
A man froze in the middle of the road, his foot suspended in the air. A bird stopped mid-flight, its wings locked in place. The wind… vanished.
Time had stopped.
And yet—
One person was still moving.
Akimo.
He stood still, his eyes calmly scanning the frozen world around him. No panic. No fear. Just a quiet understanding.
"It's happening again…" he whispered.
This wasn't the first time.
A sudden crack echoed across the sky.
Not thunder. Not anything natural.
It sounded like something had broken.
Akimo slowly looked up.
The blue sky shattered like glass.
Fragments of reality split apart, revealing something beyond—something dark, endless… and wrong.
"So… it begins," he said softly.
At that moment, his eyes started to glow faintly.
Then—
He saw it.
Another world.
The same city… destroyed.
Buildings reduced to ruins. Streets empty. The sky above it black and endless, like a void that swallowed everything.
No life. No sound.
Only silence.
A future that shouldn't exist.
Or maybe…
A past that already happened.
Akimo took a slow breath.
"This world…"
He closed his eyes.
"…has already ended."
For a moment, everything went dark.
Then—
The world snapped back.
Sound returned. People moved again. Cars drove forward. The bird continued its flight as if nothing had happened.
Everything looked normal.
Too normal.
Akimo stood in the same place, unmoving.
His eyes slowly opened.
"So it's real…" he murmured.
But something had changed.
He could feel it.
The air felt heavier. The world felt… unstable.
As if reality itself was no longer perfect.
A faint whisper echoed behind him.
"You shouldn't have seen that."
Akimo turned instantly.
"Who's there?"
No one.
The street was full again, people walking past him without noticing anything strange.
But the feeling remained.
Then—
For just a split second—
A shadow flickered in front of him.
Distorted. Inhuman.
Watching him.
And then it vanished.
Akimo's expression hardened.
This wasn't just a glitch.
This was something else.
Something far more dangerous.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"This isn't over…"
High above the city, beyond the broken sky—
Something was watching.
