404

ERROR 404: WORLD NOT FOUND. It starts with a shimmer in the air. A bird frozen in mid-flight. A message blinking on every screen in Kigali: PLEASE REINSTALL REALITY. For Senior Systems Architect Eli Murenzi, it looks like a hack. For physicist Lina Uwase, it looks like the laws of nature are breaking down. But as the sky turns white and massive "deletion spheres" begin erasing cities across the globe, the terrifying truth becomes undeniable: The universe is not real. It is a simulation. And it has just crashed. Forced to reunite after a painful breakup, Eli and Lina must race across a glitching Rwanda—where roads vanish into void and gravity fails—to find the "Kernel," the hidden server beneath Lake Kivu that powers their existence. But the deeper they go, the darker the secret becomes. The system isn't just failing due to old code; it is collapsing under the weight of "Emotional Entropy." A bug born from a broken heart is deleting the world one sector at a time. With a 72-hour countdown ticking toward a total hard drive wipe, Eli faces an impossible choice at the core of reality: Reboot the world and erase his memories of Lina forever, or let the simulation burn to save the woman he loves. 404: The Day Reality Went Missing is a heart-pounding techno-thriller that blends the mind-bending concepts of The Matrix with the emotional stakes of Arrival. It is a story about love, loss, and what it truly means to be real in a digital world.
