In a world where belief is a crime, what do you hold onto when everything real is programmed?
Maigo doesn't trust the world around him. It's too organized, too clean-and always seems to have the worst in store for him. Now enrolled in the elite V9 Program, a psychological education simulation built to reshape the next generation, he finds himself plunged into harrowing historical trials that feel far too real to dismiss.
With his AI companion Omi embedded in his mind, and a rotating cast of allies and enemies, Maigo is forced to relive humanity's darkest moments-from plantation fields in 1820s Virginia to war-scarred kingdoms in ancient Egypt. Each simulation tears at his identity and questions his morality. And in the sterile, heavily surveilled city of Los Mitos, the lines between freedom and obedience blur fast.
But Maigo isn't just surviving simulations. He's chasing a deeper truth-one hidden behind his father's disappearance, his mother's silence, and the authorities' relentless grip on thought and faith.
What if the cost of becoming who you are is forgetting who you were?
Metanoia is the story of a boy unraveling the system designed to shape him-one soul-crushing lesson at a time.
