Synopsis
In the mid-16th century, in the remnants of Atlantis deep in the Atlantic Ocean, a black stone laboratory hidden in the harbor contained the last forbidden experiments of the lost civilization. He was born as an experimental subject, Kallis Tallin, an unknown vessel imprisoned in this battle of creation. A shocking explosion triggered by rough conditions burned all the secrets and became a crack in his fate. He is the only survivor. He trekked for seven days and seven nights on the lonely island of death, breaking away from the prison, but he was also burdened with the shackles of eternal life. For him, time is a long river that never passes. He stayed in the eternal years, with no aging and no way back. Only the obsession to explore the secrets of his life, explosion and Atlantis supported him walking alone. He once stepped into London, the foggy capital of the old era, and remained anonymous, watching the fireworks of the world fade away in an instant, and witnessing the people around him turning gray and finally turning to dust. He was left alone to maintain his unchanged appearance and endure the bone-corroding loneliness brought about by eternal life. Three hundred years of time passed, civilizations changed, and the world took on a new look. He traveled around the world, shuttled through the gaps of time, collected broken truths with his immortal body, and faced the loneliness that no one understood. This is a lonely journey spanning a hundred years, a profound exploration of self and destiny. There is no passionate redemption, no noisy company, only the silence and desolation that belongs to the eternal. In the torrent of time, we ask about the meaning of existence, unravel the dusty mysteries of the lost civilization, and finally reach reconciliation with eternal life, the past, and the endless years of silence. Concept: This work uses the eternal wandering of Kalis Tallin, a forgotten experimental body in Atlantis, as the narrative skeleton. In the folds of civilization from the 16th to the 19th centuries, it opens up a spiritual inquiry about the nature of existence, the torture of time, and the redemption of truth.
