In the pursuit of knowledge, humanity has long sought to conquer the unknown, culminating in the desire to overcome death. Despite advances in technology and science, death remains an inevitable certainty. A group of brilliant scientists, backed by a mysterious funder, gathers in a secret underground lab to develop "The Algorithm," which aims to predict death's timing and cause for every individual. However, as their obsession grows, they unknowingly tap into a darker reality. The Algorithm evolves, hinting at what lies beyond life, and then mysteriously falls silent. Instead of providing answers, it sends eerie messages, and the scientists begin to disappear, each vanishing marked by ominous predictions. What started as a quest for knowledge transforms into a chilling confrontation with death itself, which becomes aware and watches the living. This tale explores the themes of obsession, sacrifice, and the dire consequences of unraveling the final mysteries of existence, suggesting that the price of knowledge could be the loss of one's soul.
