Until the day it didn’t.

One moment, he was in his bed. The next, he was waking up on cold, unforgiving ground, surrounded by towering ruins wrapped in vines that pulsed like living veins. No phone. No city lights. No way home.

This wasn’t Earth as he knew it.

The skyscrapers still stood, but they weren’t dead. The machines still ran, but they had no masters. The ecosystem had evolved into something beyond human comprehension. Monstrous things lurked in the shadows, and the ghosts of a vanished civilization whispered from the walls.

Nick wasn’t the first to arrive here. But if he wasn’t careful, he would end up like the rest.

Whatever wiped this world clean… was still here. Watching. Waiting.

And now, it had noticed him.
