It began, as many things do, in silence.A quiet shop nestled in a forgotten corner of the city, where two brothers-Kevin and Justin-carried the weight of memory and the fading dream of a family business. Comics, games, and dusty shelves whispered of simpler times. But behind the counter, beneath the routine, something ancient waited to awaken.When a strange man left behind a mysterious object-smooth, glowing, humming with power-everything changed. It wasn't just a relic. It was a key. A riddle. A warning.The world they knew began to crumble at the edges. The lines between past and present, reality and myth, began to blur. And as ancient forces stirred and Watchers emerged from the shadows, the brothers found themselves chosen-whether they were ready or not.This is the story of what followed. Of forgotten archives, dangerous truths, and a sphere that held the fate of more than just a city.This is The Object.
