Y’all — Chapter One is officially live.
I reworked the opening to keep everything inside the laboratory (no flashback), so the tension hits faster,

and the disorientation stays front-and-center. I also did a full cleanup pass: grammar, prose tightening, and character renames for consistency moving forward.
The chapter art was made in Photoshop CC on iPad with a loose sketch + darker line work + desaturated flats to give it that light-novel vibe.
