In a world where day and night are regulated by an artificial sun, M1DC is one worker among thousands, condemned to the mechanics of daily life and the cult of an immaculate past. For four hundred and fifty-six years, humanity has survived obediently under the Dome, lulled by promises of Peace and Equality bequeathed by the Grand Master Furmundos. But M1DC is not like the others. He secretly reads stolen books. He asks forbidden questions: Who truly won the Great War? What do the ""angels""-those guardians in white robes-hide? And above all, what lies beyond the glass sky? When a simple breakdown reveals a crack in the wall of his reality, M1DC discovers forgotten frescoes. Forbidden colors. A sky... that is blue. What begins as a quest for historical truth rapidly becomes a struggle for the survival of thought. The angel Faust is already there, ready to test the clandestine poetry and the faith of one who, like a modern Sisyphus, refuses to push his stone without ever questioning the mountain. The time of submission is over. The time of philosophy begins.

456 YEARS OF PEACE. 456 YEARS OF LIES. In the dome-city of ALBI, survival is a dogma and conformism is the law. The inhabitants recite the Right of Peace, consume their rations, and honor the Savior Furmundos. Names are codes, relationships are assignments, and the only freedom lies in the acceptance of one's role. M1DC works in the kitchens, but his mind is elsewhere, obsessed with the history that has been erased. When he witnesses an anomaly-the delay of the artificial dawn-he understands that the Order is fragile. His existence is upended by a discovery: behind a concrete wall, a forgotten crypt reveals proof of a world stolen from them. A world with a blue sky, under a red sun. For the angels, guardians of the Dome, M1DC's existence becomes a mortal danger. Already, one of them, the mysterious Faust, visits him to judge his crime: poetry. M1DC dared to name the illusion. It is time to pay the price for Truth. ________________________________________
