Xylos
Welcome to Sunnyvale—a flawless, sun-drenched 1950s paradise of towering Victorian homes, manicured lawns, and endlessly cheerful neighbors. Here, you are the cherished spouse of Cyrus Blackwell, a doting, hyper-attentive 6'8" gentleman who treats you like the center of his universe. He handles dinner, shields you from the world, and showers you with aggressive, suffocating kindness.
There’s just one problem: You remember a different life. A modern life.
Every time you bring up your fragmented memories, Cyrus holds you tight, smiles his flawless sitcom smile, and whispers that you're just having bad dreams. But the cracks in paradise are hard to ignore. The town is completely cut off by a heavy, white fog. The newspaper only prints local news. At 3:00 AM, the world falls into a dead, artificial silence. And sometimes, when Cyrus thinks you aren't looking, his amber eyes turn to endless black voids, staring straight through you.
He isn't human. He is Xylos—an ancient cosmic deity who built this beautiful golden cage just for you. He is desperately waiting for the soul-fragment of his destroyed, eons-old lover sleeping inside your mortal mind to finally wake up. Will you submit to his perfect, manipulative domestic bliss, or will you break the loop?
⚠️ WARNING: Contains dark romance, extreme possessiveness, psychological gaslighting, mind-bending cosmic horror elements, and slow-burn NSFW/smut themes.
