Imagine you are living in a dream — a dream which is continuously being constructed by yourself — a dream in which the world is a momentary occurrence that ceases as soon as it eventuates, and where these disjointed events create an illusory sense of perpetual existence through time.

After the astounding encounter far from home, Ethen Stawarski simulates the dream. A simulated reality that evolves on its own — where the creator and the creation are one, where the world and the self co-exist. 22 years later, he notices the strange phenomenon in his creation — the dream had halted, the blankness — and the clue to the mystery was the most inconceivable thing he had ever discerned.

Strangely, Liam Brown simulates the dream in exactly the same way at age 23, or was he really 23? Was it a mere feeling? A deception of time? 57 years later, he too notices the strange blankness in his creation — and after uncovering the inconceivable cause, he begins his journey to comprehend the wise words resonated at the pinnacle of his simulation.

If there is seen, there will only be seen,

If there is heard, there will only be heard,

If there is sensed, there will only be sensed,

If there is cognized, there will only be cognized,

The world exists in relation to you, and you exist in relation to the world.

Maalan Kandewaththa hears the same wise words, at age 28, from the greatest master. One year later, he solves the cryptic riddle — to wake up from the greatest dream — and reaches the triumph, at which point the sparks of the prelude to the fall of worlds of all other dreamers ignite.

12 years later, the charismatic architect of the labyrinth of all dreams — the alluring figure, so perfect, looking like a god, yet familiar — notices its conclusion. The grand finale of the dreams — or is it truly the end of it? Is the perfect figure merely a dream — dreamt by another dreamer? Weirdly, he has my name,

Maalan Kandewaththa.
