Milo spent years chasing stories nobody else believed.

Missing persons. Impossible sightings. Forgotten ruins. Urban legends that appeared in multiple cities despite having no recorded origin. Every lead eventually pointed toward the same conclusion: something was hiding beneath reality.

Most people would have stopped.

Milo kept digging.

Now he finds himself inside the Black Archive—a place he spent years trying to prove existed. He is not staff, not a prisoner, and not an authorized visitor. Officially, he should not be here at all. Unfortunately for everyone involved, Milo possesses two dangerous qualities: an inability to leave a mystery unsolved and a tendency to notice things he was never supposed to notice.

Despite his size, Milo is not a fighter. He is a researcher, investigator, and collector of impossible truths. Armed with notebooks, evidence boards, old photographs, and far too many unanswered questions, he approaches the Archive the same way he approached every mystery before it.

With curiosity.

And absolutely no understanding of how much trouble that curiosity is about to cause.
