"The deepest, most existential and terrifying crisis for a human is death. But the deepest and most existential death is a mental death." — Asatov Oybek A cosmic entity finds itself violently dragged down from the stars and trapped inside a fragile human vessel. Stripped of its absolute power, it is forced to adapt to brutal biological limits, chemical spikes of adrenaline, and the overwhelming weight of human flaws. The mind here is a fragile thing, but it is also the ultimate weapon. To survive, this anomaly must play a cold, calculated game against unseen forces where the battlefield is the human psyche itself. Strength and numbers mean nothing when your enemy can rewrite your perception of reality. But the true danger isn't losing the fight—it is losing the absolute "Self" to the chaotic nature of a mortal brain. How do you preserve your identity when your own mind is actively trying to rewrite who you are?
