SCENE 01
Before the idea
From Book I · The SalvationBills cover the kitchen table. Mike Harris is still an ordinary man trying to keep his family afloat. This is where the story earns its emotional weight.
THE BOOKS, SEEN AS CINEMA
Written like a film. Experienced as a novel.
In The Salvation, Luc Arden writes with a strikingly cinematic sense of scene: the unpaid bills on a kitchen table, the sudden knock at a family door, a silent interrogation room, a motorcycle disappearing into the rain. The story moves through people, dialogue, suspense and choices that have consequences. The Lost Chapter changes the rhythm: Mike and Jane confront the Eleven Rings and the question of how a dream could become a plan.
These two novels are the narrative heart of LIBERTALIA — The First Digital Nation. They are not released screenplays, but their visual storytelling has inspired a possible film or television adaptation. Below, selected moments from the books become large cinematic concept images. Look at the faces, the rooms and the decisions — and imagine what comes next.

Step inside the story
Six moments from the first two books, imagined on screen.
Original concept illustrations based on the novels, not stills from an existing film, an announced production or a confirmed cast. The screen adaptation remains a creative possibility.

The arrest
From Book I · The SalvationAs the movement attracts attention, the danger reaches home. An arrest is no longer an abstract threat: Mike’s family is watching.
SCENE 03
The interrogation
From Book I · The SalvationA silent room, a camera and an exhausted prisoner. The mystery of PHAOS enters the story through small signals rather than spectacle.

SCENE 05
Across the table
From Book I · The SalvationThe idea now has to answer to people who already hold influence. The scene asks who should have the right to make decisions on behalf of citizens.
SCENE 06
The Eleven Rings
