Auxiliary Volume: Understanding Echoes of the System

(A short guide for readers!)

---

Welcome to the World of Echoes of the System

This is more than just a story about survival. It's a battle for identity, control, and rebellion. Before you dive into Ember's journey, here are a few things to keep in mind

---

1. The Regime: The Rulers of a Broken World

The world is controlled by The Regime—a totalitarian force that has erased all traces of freedom.

Emotions? Illegal.

Memories? Monitored.

Disobedience? Disappearance.

But The Regime isn't just after rebels. They are hunting something far more dangerous—people who don't fit into their perfect system.

---

2. The Enforcers: Machines or Men?

The Enforcers are The Regime's foot soldiers—unyielding, merciless, and always watching. But what are they really?

Are they humans, conditioned to be unfeeling?

Are they machines, built to hunt the weak?

Or are they something worse—something caught between both worlds?

Even Ember doesn't know.

---

3. Ember: Who—Or What—Is She?

Our protagonist, Ember, is not just another rebel. She has something no one else does—a connection to the very system that hunts her.

But why?

Was she born, or was she made?

Is she human… or something else entirely?

And if she isn't fully human, does that make her the enemy?

As Ember fights for freedom, she is also fighting for the truth. But will she like what she finds?

You might think you know what's coming… but do you?
