Mimus never asked to be chosen.
He was a quiet shadow of a boy from a dying world, carrying more memory than ambition — until the day the sky burned and the Curators opened a Gate.
Drawn into Varellen, a fractured dimension stitched from the Echoes of lost worlds, Mimus awakens in a place where identity is power and memory is weaponized. Here, warriors are forged not by strength alone, but by what they’ve repressed, what they regret, and what they refuse to forget.
This is not a tournament.
This is a trial of becoming — a labyrinth of realms shaped by emotion, where every step forward demands the unraveling of who you were.
Armed with nothing but a blade and the weight of his unrealized selves, Mimus must navigate a world where truth burns, silence scars, and purpose is the only thing that keeps you from disappearing. Along the way, he will forge fragile alliances, face enemies who echo his darkest reflections, and uncover the buried fate of his best friend, Rynor — a boy who may have embraced everything Mimus refused to become.
But the deeper he descends, the more he must ask:
> What is left of you when every version of you has been tested?
And who decides which echo survives?
