Eclipsed Eternity

"If you lived for a quintillion years but only five years had passed in reality, would you still be human?"



Eden D. Souldrake was never meant to awaken. Adopted, mistreated, and cursed at the age of 12, he spent his nights trapped in a realm without time, where sanity was fleeting, and survival meant becoming something monstrous. Each night, he vanished from the real world—only to return at dawn, unchanged in body but forever broken in mind.



For five years, no one noticed his suffering. No one questioned why his gaze carried the weight of infinity.



Until one fateful night, when a stolen Experimented Awakening Crystal shattered in his hands—unlocking not just his power, but the truth behind his curse. Given an Awakening System unlike any other, Eden is forced onto a path no human has ever walked.



To break the curse, he must fight gods, rewrite fate, and confront the entity that controls all awakenings.

But the deeper he goes, the more he begins to question:



Was he ever meant to escape?
