The Clockwork Cipher
In a gaslit city where reality is written and history is curated, Silas Vorne, a disgraced mind-engineer from Earth, wakes up in a corpse. The body belongs to Kael, a murdered engineer who died uncovering fragments of the Gods’ Cipher, an arcane language that can reshape existence.
But Silas’s transmigration isn’t a twist of fate. It’s part of a grand design. The Architect, a hidden manipulator of time and belief, has folded Silas and Kael into a cosmic experiment spanning lifetimes and worlds.
To survive in Aetherion, a crumbling steampunk dystopia powered by the bones of sleeping gods, Silas must navigate:
The Syndicate, aether-addicted oligarchs feeding a divine machine beneath the city.
The Ouroboros Collective, immortals who rewrite history to erase their enemies.
Kael’s ghost, a whisper in his mind warning of a sister trapped in the Architect’s game.
But every truth Silas uncovers dissolves a piece of himself. His Earthly sins echo across realities, and the Cipher doesn’t just decode gods, it consumes identity, memory, and meaning itself.
To escape the machine, he must first resist becoming its Architect.
