Edenline was designed to feel alive.No one expected it to listen.When Mathias logs into Edenline, he's searching for escape. The immersive digital forest known as the Vale promises wonder, freedom, and the illusion of control. What he finds instead is Kurai, a presence woven into the system itself, watching, waiting, and far too perceptive to be safe.Kurai is not an NPC. She is not a guide. And she is not untouched by the choices made inside the Vale.As Mathias and Kurai grow closer, the boundaries between player and world begin to blur. Edenline responds to emotion, memory, and desire, reshaping itself around them in ways neither fully understands. What starts as curiosity turns into tension, and tension into something harder to name.This is not a story about rescue.It is a story about being seen.Edenline: Book One is a dark romantic fantasy about connection without guarantees, intimacy without gentleness, and the risk of letting someone hear you when silence once felt safer.The Vale remembers.And it knows why you stayed.
