Zone

What is Freedom, if You've Never Known the Sky

In the shining sprawl of Valar-a massive, high-tech metropolis where everyone has everything they need. To Mikus Nett, it's the safest place in the world, if you never try to leave.

Mikus Nett, a young, ambitious, 19-year-old, lives in a world powered by robots, ruled by routine, and filled with conflicting voices he can't escape. As his regulated life starts to crack, secrets rise from the depths of the city . . . and from within his own circle of friends. When society begins to lose its grip, who do you trust-your closest friend, a rising leader, a princess, or an outsider?

ZONE is a thrilling journey through a fractured future where adventure meets survival, mystery blends with truth, and the rules no longer apply. From the concrete maze of a sprawling city to the silent stretches of forgotten badlands, Mikus and those he loves must uncover what it means to truly live in a world where freedom and restriction are identical.

This is a story of family, friendship, and the dangerous search for purpose in a world bound to keep everyone inline, by any means necessary.
