Human or time-traveler, the rules of existence are unyielding: never interfere, never reveal, and always—always—question your reality. Archaion X, a citizen of the year 4444, navigates a world that appears utopian, governed by advanced AI and a facade of social harmony. Yet beneath this veneer lies a realm grappling with ethical complexities and existential voids. His only path to understanding this duality is through time travel, enabled by an ancient wormhole. To unravel the enigmas of human nature, Archaion embarks on a perilous journey across time under the guidance of the elusive Mr. Serial Killer. He confronts the darkest acts of humanity, personified by infamous serial killers like Bundy, Gacy, and Dahmer. Faced with an ethical dilemma—should he alter history or remain an observer?—his choices send ripples through time, altering the future in unimaginable ways. The plot takes an unexpected turn when Archaion encounters Charles Maher, a modern-day TikTok serial killer. This enigmatic figure forces Archaion to confront his own latent darkness and the moral ramifications of his time-traveling abilities. Maher serves as both a mirror and a catalyst, compelling Archaion to question not just his actions but the very framework of reality. Will Archaion X become the harbinger of chaos he's destined to be, or will he find a path to redemption? As the future shifts unpredictably, are you ready to step into the shadows? "Temporal Shadows" is a mind-bending thriller that intricately melds philosophy, speculative fiction, and the unsettling truths of true crime.
