The Convergence Protocol

The division was deliberate. The convergence is inevitable. The threat is beyond imagination

The authentication pattern was never meant to activate this early.

Soren Venn thought discovering the truth about the engineered Split would bring clarity. Instead, it triggered something far more dangerous: the Convergence Protocol, an ancient failsafe designed to reunite humanity's fractured world—but only when certain conditions were met. Conditions that haven't been fulfilled.

Now, as Soren's Echo network expands beyond control, territorial boundaries begin to dissolve and ancient installations awaken across the divided world. The Garden's perfect harmony fractures. The Collective's hive mind glitches. And something vast and patient—the very threat that necessitated the Split itself—senses an opening.

Hunted by both AI superpowers and caught between competing Eyrie factions, Soren must lead a growing network of carriers while racing to understand the Protocol's true purpose. But with every connection, he risks losing himself to the network. And with every revelation, the stakes escalate beyond anything he imagined.

Because the Convergence Protocol doesn't just threaten to reunite humanity—it threatens to expose them all to the Absorption Intelligence that waits beyond the boundaries of their fractured world, ready to consume every fragment of individual consciousness into one unified, inescapable whole.

The question isn't whether convergence can be stopped. It's whether humanity can evolve fast enough to survive it
