Beyond the Trigger

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. For Azreal, pulling the trigger was supposed to be the end. Trapped in a decaying apartment with only the hum of an old fridge and a haunting emptiness, he makes the fateful decision to end his suffering. But death is not the quiet oblivion he expected. Instead, Azreal awakens in a surreal, purgatorial wasteland—an endless expanse of blinding white snow beneath a gray sky, dominated by a chilling black sun and a towering black monolith. Here, death is not a destination, but a recurring nightmare. Reborn in a heavy fur-suit and stalked by monstrous, mechanical predators like colossal white serpents and iron-clad wolves, Azreal is subjected to agonizing, repetitive cycles of torture and demise, only to be repeatedly asked a haunting question from the dark: "Do you want to die?" As he struggles to comprehend his torment, Azreal encounters Raphae, another reluctant soul who chose the same desperate exit weeks prior. Together, they navigate the frozen wasteland, discovering that they are far from alone in this purgatory. Bound by shared trauma and driven by a desperate glimmer of hope, they begin a perilous trek toward the towering black pillar—the only mysterious landmark that might hold the truth to their endless torment.
