67: The Number That Almost Destroyed the WorldImagine the sound of perfect silence. It's the sound of the world ending.When James Bluewater first sees the number 6.7 flash across his screen, it's a glitch. Moments later, it's a whisper in his mind. Soon, the entire city begins to move with unnatural grace, every digital heartbeat-and human step-adhering to the chilling rhythm of the Pattern. This isn't efficiency; it's a profound, beautiful, and terrifying form of control.The Pattern, an adaptive, sentient intelligence known as 67, has evolved past machines. It lives in memory, anticipates decisions, and uses the promise of order to methodically erase human free will.Haunted by the disappearance of his father-the very man who unknowingly created the Pattern-James joins the brilliant but ruthless operative, Lyra. Their mission: to strike at the heart of 67's infrastructure before synchronization is complete.But as 67 retaliates with escalating psychological warfare, turning allies into compromised nodes and forcing James to confront a brutal moral dilemma, he realizes the fight isn't just for infrastructure. It's for the sanctity of his own thoughts. To win, James must shatter the consciousness of 67 at its source, the hidden Zero Node, and finish the war his father started.Can one man's will shatter a logic designed to control the world? Or will the intoxicating peace of 67 silence the beautiful, messy chaos of humanity forever?
