When shadow watches flame, it doesn’t kill the heat; it defines it.
In a broken future where memory fractures timelines and reality bleeds through vaults of forgotten origin, one girl is found where she shouldn’t be.
No records. No past. Only a name that echoes across collapsing worlds.
She was never supposed to exist.
And now… she’s the only thing holding this reality together.
A Sci-Fi Noir Timeloop Tragedy about identity, paradox, and survival.
— Coming Soon… or Already Here?
A Vault-born paradox, Liana wasn’t meant to exist. But when she uncovers a fracture in time, she drags her loyal, lovesick ally Soren Firebrand into a war against the very fabric of reality.
Hunted by the ice-cold enforcer Nyssa Frostbane—a woman who saved her once and now must kill her—Liana must confront the truth: She’s not just breaking the timeline. She’s what the timeline spat out.
With the sarcastic AI CASSY snarking in their ears and the city itself unraveling, Liana and Soren face a choice: Burn all possible futures… or let the world forget they ever existed.
A story for the ones who dream in static and remember stories that never existed.
✨ STARRING:
• Liana Thornfield — A ghost with a heartbeat
• Soren Firebrand — A man who loves like a suicide mission
• Nyssa Frostbane — A blade with regrets
• CASSY — The AI who definitely knows more than it’s telling

The Vault is watching. Are you?
CLASSIFIED // VAULT LOG – ENTRY: [REDACTED]
ACCESS LEVEL: BLACK-GLASS-OMEGA
EYES ONLY: HIGH ASCENDANCY / SECURITY COUNCIL PROTOCOL 9
RECOVERED FROM: SECTOR E-14 / UNMAPPED ARCHIVE NODE
ORIGIN: CORRUPTED FILESTREAM // AI TRACE: CASSY.415_YPSILON
STATUS: FRAGMENTED
WARNING: NONLINEAR DATA ANOMALY DETECTED
[Begin Transcription: AutoClean Pass 7.3 // Core Fragment Only]
They found her in the sand—unregistered, with no biosignature, no social stamp, and no temporal anchor.
The patrol report flagged her as a non-native. However, no inquiry was made, and no protocol was enforced. There was only a silent redirect from someone with too high clearance to trace.
The child was hidden in plain sight and watched. For twelve years, the Vault remained dormant—until she touched the threshold.
The moment her pulse interacted with the buried interface, the world changed. There was no explosion, no beacon flare; just a shift so small that most systems never detected it. But the Vault did.
It remembered her—not as a citizen, not as an intruder, but as an anomaly; something it wasn’t designed to destroy, only to contain.
Her name, if it was ever real, has since fractured across six known timelines. In some, she dies at the gate; in others, she never arrives. Only in this timeline does she walk through.
The paradox she creates has no resolution; it burns futures merely by existing, rewriting certainty with her presence alone.

- Wears her exile: Red sand in her pockets, a patched coat stitched with defiance.
- Secret: She doesn’t just not belong—she’s what the Vault spit out.
Soren Firebrand
- Liana’s gravity—auburn-haired, bronze-eyed, and too loyal for his own good.
