Synopsis
After retirement, the former mathematical genius transformed into the creator of digital comics. He became the god of this fictional universe, where time and dimensions wander under his pen. In his story, there are three characters given life—Alpha (α), Beta (β), and Gamma (γ). Like his virtual children, they linger amid the intricacies of digits. One day, the mathematician drifted into an eternal slumber, never to awaken again. They began to sense each other's existence and attempted to decode the mysteries of this world, searching for an exit to reality. In this elusive exploration, they mistakenly thought they had touched the edge of truth, only to discover that everything was a castle in the air. Their 'truth' had long been woven into the code of this infinite loop. And their creator, the mathematician, eventually returned to nature, transforming into a robust ancient tree, guarding his digital universe and watching over his children in the labyrinth of digits. Every number, every formula, became clues in their quest for truth, and the truth, perhaps, is not the destination.
