The Voidbound Fate

We once believed the universe was boundless, until deep-space observations captured an anomalous pattern spanning the entire cosmos. Mainstream scholars dismissed it as an error and sealed away the records. But the young researcher Lin Yan staked her future on the truth and set out alone to pursue it. She had no idea that this seemingly insignificant pattern marked the boundary of spacetime, and that the entire universe we inhabited was merely a closed bubble of causality, with the paths of all things set in stone from the moment of its creation. In the depths of the sea of stars, echoes of civilizations spanning eons drifted in silence, waiting for those who came after to understand them. As the truth was gradually revealed, everyone would face the ultimate question: If fate is sealed and civilizations must end, what meaning is there in our pursuit of knowledge and love?
