Conduit

Marcus was born broken and abandoned, haunted by visions he can't explain and marked by powers he never asked for. A sense of otherness has shaped his entire life, running through his mind like a presence beneath his thoughts that feels both alien and familiar. He has spent years trying to outrun it, deny it, bury it. But the truth inside him refuses to stay quiet.

Now, Earth is collapsing. A mind‑warping virus spreads across the globe, twisting perception and unraveling sanity. Alien overlords tighten their grip on humanity, enforcing control with cold precision. As society fractures under fear and paranoia, Marcus discovers that the secret buried in his blood may be humanity's last chance-or its final undoing. He is not a hero. He is a conduit. Something flows through him-something ancient, powerful, and terrifyingly alive.

As the alien presence within him grows stronger, Marcus must confront the possibility that his visions are not hallucinations but memories. Not warnings, but instructions. And not madness, but awakening. Forces that understand his purpose better than he does hunt him, thrusting Marcus into a struggle for survival that blurs the line between identity and destiny.

The deeper he digs into the truth of his origins, the more he realizes that the real battle is not against the aliens who rule the world, but against the part of himself that may no longer be human.

Conduit: The Beginning is a dark sci‑fi thriller of alien legacy, psychological unraveling, and survival at any cost. It blends slow‑burn tension, cosmic dread, and character‑driven mystery into a story where the greatest threat may be the one living inside us.
