The Shortcut Paradox

The future is hunting you to reclaim the present. One day, John wakes up in a completely unfamiliar place in a foreign country. No money. No ID. No clothes. Assuming it’s a twisted joke, he sets out to find his way home. But the next morning, he wakes up on an entirely different continent. In his desperate search to unravel this glitch in reality, John uncovers a shattering truth about the global world order. Now a target for a Shadow Government that has pulled the strings of history since before the Pyramids, he is running out of time.  The "Shortcut" isn't a path through space—it’s the destruction of the self. Can John uncover the ultimate cosmic truth and stay alive? ***Updates: 3 chapters a week!Warning: Contains mature themes, mild profanity, and existential dread.
