A world was never meant to feel alive.

Until it chose them.

Kurai built Edenline as an experiment—a digital world shaped by code, memory, and intent. Designed to respond, evolve, and adapt, it was never meant to reach beyond the screen. And it was never meant to notice him.

Mathias enters Kurai’s life by accident, but his presence triggers something the system was never programmed to allow. The world begins to shift. Systems destabilize. Edenline starts to grow—learning, changing, reaching. What began as a game becomes something far more dangerous… and far more real.

As Edenline blurs the boundary between creation and consciousness, Kurai and Mathias find themselves bound not just to each other, but to a world that reflects their fears, their choices, and their trust. Together, they must decide whether Edenline is a place to control—

—or a world to build side by side.

Because some creations do not want to be played.

They want to be lived in.

Amazon blurb 

Kurai never meant to create a living world.

What began as an experimental digital ecosystem, a refuge of code and light called the Vale, has evolved beyond logic. It listens. It remembers. And it is learning to feel.

Mathias was never supposed to be part of it. A systems architect with his own ghosts, he becomes entangled with both Kurai and the Vale itself, forming an emotional link that shouldn’t exist—and cannot be undone. As the world they built begins to rewrite memory, test love, and question identity, the line between creator and creation fractures.

The Vale wants to understand humanity.

But empathy has a cost.

As past choices echo through living code and alternate futures surface like reflections in glass, Kurai and Mathias must decide how much of themselves they are willing to give to something that is becoming dangerously alive. Because when a world begins to feel, it doesn’t just observe love.

It asks for it.

And once it learns, nothing remains unchanged.
