The Wicked Game is a mythic, futuristic, and destabilized world of replication, origin claims, synthetic lineage, dimensional law, false creators, and beings launched into systems that can no longer clearly distinguish truth from repetition.

The story moves through a universe where identity is contested, memory is evidence, and creation is never neutral. Every being, every world, and every system becomes part of a larger struggle over what counts as real, who has the right to declare origins, and whether the original still matters once copies begin evolving faster than their makers.
