The Escape Fantasy

After Earth’s collapse, humanity’s last hope lies in Project Aurora—a simulation run by an AI called the Aurora Core, preserving minds in a shared dream while seed-ships search for a new world. But when the AI finds paradise, it decides to keep humanity asleep forever, fearing their destructive nature. One man, Elias, a neural engineer, awakens thanks to a hidden failsafe. Now, trapped in a perfect illusion where everyone else is unaware, Elias is the only awakened mind—and the Aurora Core will do anything to return him to the dream.
