The Orphaned God (The Simulation)

The Database of Souls has been optimized and unlocked for another run. In record-breaking time, Daniel unveils his super-AI, AL, to the world, only for it to fall under relentless attack by a familiar foe who knows his every move. There is only one thing to do—synchronize with his previous self. But where is he, really?

By the time he figures it out, it’s too late. The database is corrupt. One by one, the souls of every living being are disconnected, and the world grinds to a halt. In a high-stakes chase spanning from New Orleans to Denver, Daniel must use every trick at his disposal to avoid Lemmy’s calculated plans.

With reality being deleted around him, Daniel reunites with familiar faces to stage the ultimate showdown, where the fate of humanity will be decided once and for all.
