Memories flooded into my mind.
I tried to make sense of them, but it was extremely difficult, like sorting a library of millions of books.
Millions of titles flashed before my eyes, spiraling into eternity, a hurricane of vast and endless knowledge.
My mind ached as if crushed under thousands of book stacks that suddenly collapsed onto me.
So much information, so little time. I was missing the right keywords to access it all.
I find myself outdated, like an old cpu, simply unable to process it all fast enough.
Loading data. Loading data.
Estimated transfer time is between 48493927649115392547393 minutes and eternity.
No matter. I remembered who I was, who I am.
My name is Christophorus Pi Hatchenson.
I am a hunter, a DEX-M to be precise.
My mission as it has always been was to find the unstable, break the un-connectable and terminate the Unscannable subject, the ringleader of the Unconnectable terrorist group that sabotaged Eureka.
The Unscannable One had brought this city into ruin, had broken my Neural Interface, had made me lose focus, thrown off my stability.
The Unscannable One must pay for his crimes.
I had once caught the Unscannable, but had failed to proceed with the termination due to a temporal bomb.
I remembered the city of Eureka as she once was - full of order and information.
I find it odd to be made mostly of meat. Meat! How backwards compatible! How pointless now!
Meat has no place in this contaminated landscape of rocks, dust and ice.
It was great luck that my meat has survived for this long, has endured the punishment of the Dead Zone.
The old world was warped beyond recognition, but it still flashed in my head, filling in the empty gaps in my brain.

A new world unfolded before me. The Dead Zone was everywhere now, it has devoured, changed the city of Eureka. The grid of Eureka persisted. It had brought me back.
It resonated in the wind, in every rock, in the dust and the clouds.
The inorganic planet was alive and I felt her breath on my neurons, I heard her whispers in my mind.
I am a part of something greatly unimaginable, a tiny gear in the machinery of the stars, a web all over the surface of the Earth and beyond it, stretching into fractal infinity. From those depths, Eureka spoke to me:
"FINISH YOUR MISSION, HUNTER."
Are there any other Neural transmitters around?
Yes.
The signal strength was weak, yet still there. Employees of Eureka.
Many of them have been asleep, aimless and lost for a VERY long time.
Their meats have expired.
No matter. I will wake them up. I will guide them.
The GRID itself will help me, as I am now the last representative, an emissary, a mod of both Insurance and Eureka.
Eureka whispered the admin words to me. With these words, I shall make the blind see and will make the dead walk again. They will be most helpful in aiding my cause.
As the most just diplomat of the GRID, I will offer the ones that are harboring the Unscannable One the obvious choice of ORDER AND ETERNAL LOVE or INEVITABLE NULLIFICATION.

Hiraeth: Promise of the World
On a rainy night, a young woman is transported to the enchanting world of Sol'h'meyr. Thrilled to be freed from the shackles of monetary survival and societal expectations on Earth, she embraces her newfound existence and magical powers bestowed. But the rose-tinted fantasy life she always dreamed of turns out to be a stark reality that poses to kill her if she doesn't adapt and let go of her past. Essairyn battles both cripping nostalgia and imminent danger in her journey from the Spirit and Demon Forest to the human realm of As'pyze. Disillusionment leading to anger has erupted into violence across the deceptively peaceful land. New friends and allies gather by her side, but tragedy and betrayal lurk closer than she realizes. Hiraeth is the idyllic beginning tainted with dark shadows in the epic fantasy series, Singularity Cycle. [ – Now Completed with upcoming minor revisions before second book – ] + complex character relationships and growth + realistic quirky magic system + unique mythical creatures + deeply developed world lore + evocative writing style + cute sassy fox sidekick - Original Book Cover Art by Chryiss Rewritten final version of formerly named Canaan series and first book, My World to Live.

The original version of the first book was published on RR in 2019 and has since seen multiple revisions based on reader feedback with this one as the final and official fourth version before the second book. While the entire series story has undergone major changes in the last year, all books have been planned since the beginning of writing. It is also my second wish to eventually make this story into a webcomic, either by myself or with a team if possible. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and enjoy reading! ( You can alternatively read books in the series as standalone fictions, but they connect to one another though a running theme and mystery that evolves and progresses with the main character. ) Alternate Blurb for the Singularity Cycle series: Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.

A first person account of an unplanned trip to a secret moon base, where I make new and interesting friends, reopen the moon's most amazing backalley bar, and rediscover the long forgotten secrets of lunar land speed racing and the moon's first hot rod club... and then some. Soon to be a campy, direct to DVD B-movie featuring Bruce Campbell as "Al"! (No, not really... but it sounds good in my head.) I write a better story than a synopsis, I promise.
