This Could Be It

A Mind-Bending Thriller About Consciousness Breaking Its Own Rules

To rescue those taken, they must confront the exiled.

Inside five domed cities, the Kuudere have engineered survival into a discipline—emotion trimmed, impulses edited, panic treated like contagion. Control isn’t a virtue here. It’s law.

Then the Gamma Field returns.

A countdown appears. A window closes. And two people—Memphis and Jules—are gone in the most unsettling way possible: their bodies remain, but something essential has slipped out of reach.

The council demands a retrieval mission before the Field vanishes again. The problem is who they send.

Casper, a master of inner discipline who believes the Field is not an enemy.
Eulǝr, a precision thinker who suspects the Field doesn’t hate them—it simply uses them.

They once made a vow about the Field. A promise meant to keep reality stable.

Now the Field is listening for that vow to break.

As the domes begin to “stabilize” in ways no one can explain, and a system called Tathagata starts asking the wrong questions, Casper and Eulǝr are forced to face a truth more dangerous than disappearance:

Some rescues are traps.
Some awakenings are possession.
And “peace” can be just another word for surrender.

This Could Be It is the sharpened Second Edition of Nirvanaing Book 1—a psychological thriller about control, communion, and what happens when the self is no longer in charge.

The first step toward the universe returning to itself begins.
