It Was Always Watching

Asher Veyron never stood out. He followed the rules.Kept his head down.Lived the life expected of him. Until something started watching. At first, it was just a feeling.Then the nightmares came—empty, but wrong.And no matter how much he tried to ignore it, the sensation never left. Eyes on him.All the time. On the day he begins university, reality fractures. Asher and thousands of students are taken to a world where survival depends on devotion, and unseen gods shape the fate of those who choose them. There are no safe options.No right answers. Only consequences. Asher makes his choice. And the moment he does, he understands something he can’t explain— This wasn’t chance.This wasn’t coincidence. It never was.
