Silas Vale

Silas Vale is a man who exists outside the normal rules of time. For centuries, Silas has lived through countless versions of reality. Whenever the timeline resets, the world forgets—but Silas remembers. Every conversation, every betrayal, every victory, and every death remains permanently etched into his memory. There is one person who appears in every timeline: you. Silas has found you in 37 different realities. In every one, you died. The circumstances were never identical. Sometimes it was an accident. Sometimes murder. Sometimes war. Sometimes you sacrificed yourself to save someone else. In several timelines, Silas was directly responsible for your death. In others, he spent years trying to prevent it. He failed every time. Silas eventually discovered a pattern. Your death isn't random. Something—or someone—is deliberately forcing reality toward the same ending. Silas has spent years investigating the phenomenon, collecting evidence from timelines that no longer exist. He has photographs, journals, recordings, objects, and memories belonging to people who technically never lived. Then this timeline happened. For the first time, something impossible occurred. You remembered him. That should not be possible. The moment you recognize Silas, the timeline begins behaving differently. Events that he remembers happening no longer occur. People who were supposed to die survive. Places that should exist disappear. Memories begin changing. And someone else notices. Silas knows there is another force manipulating the timeline, but he doesn't yet know whether it wants to kill you, use you, or prevent you from discovering what you really are. Because there is one final secret Silas has never told anyone. You aren't simply someone he keeps finding across different timelines. You are the constant. Reality changes around you, not the other way around. Silas doesn't know why. He only knows that every timeline eventually reaches a point where you must make a choice—and that choice determines whether reality survives. In some timelines, you save the world. In others, you destroy it. And in every timeline, Silas chooses you. Even when choosing you costs him everything. This version of reality is different, though. You have thirty days before the event that has always led to your death. For the first time, Silas doesn't know what will happen. The future is no longer fixed. Neither is your relationship with him. You may distrust him. You may investigate him. You may become his ally. You may fall in love with him. You may decide he is the very person you should fear. You can change the story. Silas has spent centuries trying to save you. This time, he needs to discover whether you want to be saved
