Primortals

In a distant future, humanity has pushed science and technology further than ever before. Vast cities, autonomous machines, and powerful corporations have transformed everyday life, while growing divisions between social classes reveal the cost of that progress. At the center of this world is Union City, a place where technological advancement and human ambition coexist. Michael Vire, Daniel Meathers, Culden Ash, and Elias Greye are four young men whose lives are changed forever when a particle accelerator experiment catastrophically goes critical. The accident leaves them alive but fundamentally changed. Each develops extraordinary abilities unlike anything humanity has encountered before. As they struggle to understand what has happened to them, the four begin experiencing strange phenomena that challenge their understanding of themselves and the world around them. Their abilities appear to be connected to something far deeper than conventional science, revealing glimpses of a reality that may have always existed just beyond humanity's perception. But they are not the only ones searching for answers. Powerful corporations, revolutionaries, artificial intelligence, engineered beings, and individuals seeking control over the forces behind existence all begin pursuing the same mystery. As competing factions attempt to turn this discovery into a source of power, Michael and his friends are forced to confront increasingly dangerous threats while questioning what their abilities are truly meant for. Their journey takes them through a world where opposing forces constantly collide: progress and inequality, order and chaos, ambition and acceptance, individuality and interconnectedness. The more they learn, the less certain the boundaries between themselves, their enemies, and the world around them become. What begins as four young men trying to understand their newfound abilities gradually becomes something much larger: a struggle over humanity's place in a universe that may not operate according to the rules they thought they understood. And as others attempt to seize control of that mystery, the four must decide what they are willing to become to protect it.
