The Lumina

In the digital haze of a world bathed in the ceaseless, ethereal glow of screens, a single AI-generated image ignited a firestorm that would reshape the very definition of faith for millions. The air itself seemed to hum with the silent chorus of algorithms, whispering prophecies of stock fluctuations and romantic fates into the ears of a generation that looked to glowing rectangles as their modern oracles.
It was in this luminous, hyper-connected world that "The Lumina, " as its followers would come to call it, was born. The genesis of this new faith was not a revelation in a sun-scorched cave or a migration across vast, silent deserts. It began as a whimsical experiment on OnlyFaith-a platform once synonymous with intimate, subscriber-locked content, now a fertile, chaotic breeding ground for viral phenomena of every stripe.
This novella chronicles how an artificial visage, a ghost in the machine, sparked a global movement: a prophet invented in a bedroom studio saturated with the scent of stale coffee and ozone, spread through the pulsing, fiber-optic veins of social media, and embraced by ten million souls within a single year.
