the portal was only the beginning.after saving the multiverse from collapse, eleven-year-old science prodigy ari bini hoped for a return to normal life. but normal doesn't last long when time starts breaking at school-students trapped in loops, shadows moving in reverse, and equations rewriting themselves.when a mysterious message from the missing lyra points him toward the null spiral-a forbidden dimension echoing with failed experiments-ari uncovers a terrifying truth: the multiverse is still unraveling, and at its core lies a dangerous anomaly known as the quantum curse.born from rogue starborn energy, the curse is a cosmic glitch powerful enough to erase entire timelines. to stop it, ari must: unlock the secrets of the bini equation-a formula only he can complete, outsmart a haunted intelligence trapped in a time loop, and survive worlds where his past, future, and fears converge.but every answer brings him closer to a horrifying choice: to fix time, he may have to erase himself from it.in a reality where science meets sorcery and logic bends under pressure, ari bini faces the greatest paradox of all: can you save everything without losing yourself?
