What if the future you're trying to save… is built on a lie?

Time fractured without warning. Entire cities vanished, people forgotten, and memories rewritten. In the ruins of what was, three strangers awaken with scattered pasts—and only one truth binding them: they were never supposed to meet.

Aeris—worshipped as a savior, hated as a destroyer. Her past is erased, but her face haunts the ruins.
Kael—a fighter shaped by guilt, pursued by reflections of himself he doesn’t recognize.
Dray—the boy with no timeline, stitched from shadows, hunted by a voice only he can hear.

Together, they are pulled into a collapsing realm where time is currency, memories are weapons, and truth is the most dangerous enemy. Every step forward reveals twisted versions of themselves—each more monstrous than the last. Every choice risks unraveling the world further.

But as they inch closer to the heart of the paradox, a chilling revelation awaits:
The greatest betrayal wasn’t by the enemy. It was by one of them.

And in the end, to fix time…
someone must be erased.

Welcome to the edge of reality, where suspense burns through every page, and the only escape… is through the fire.

ashes of tomorrow

Kael's heart thundered beneath his ribs as the temple trembled around him. The Aeon Mirror—now shattered—hung frozen in midair, its seven shards suspended like stars above a black sea. Time warped violently in every direction; moments blinked in and out of existence.

And between those shards, two Aerises stood.

One—his Aeris—trembling, her eyes full of sorrow and hope.

The other—the Final Fracture—towered above them, her wings dripping with ink-dark paradox, her eyes bottomless pits of entropy.

"One must be chosen," the Mirror's remnants echoed in a thousand collapsing voices."One will remain. One will end. The balance cannot hold both."

Kael stepped forward, breath sharp in his throat."No. No, there's another way."

Fracture-Aeris tilted her head, voice like breaking glass. "You always say that. In every loop. And every time, your choice causes the collapse."

Kael turned to the Aeris he knew—his Aeris—the woman who had shaped his heart, but also shaped the very war that nearly ended reality."You lied to me," he whispered. "But not to hurt me. To spare me. To save everything."

She didn't defend herself. Instead, she stepped closer, tears gleaming like prisms on her cheeks."I made myself the villain in a thousand timelines to give us one where we could win."She looked up into his storm-colored eyes."But I never deserved you."

The temple convulsed. Cracks ran through the foundations of time itself.

Fracture-Aeris began to descend, her wings spreading wide—casting Kael in a shadow of absolute stillness.

"She is a paradox. A broken thread. Keep her, and all timelines unravel again."

Kael's hand drifted to the hilt of his blade. Not the one forged of metal—but the one Dray gave him: the Chrono-Edge, a blade that severed not flesh, but moments.

"Kael," Aeris whispered, "if you must—end me. Choose the world. Not me."

No blade, no choice—not this time.

Instead, Kael turned and did something no timeline had seen before.

He stepped between them.

Kael placed one hand on each Aeris. The paradox seared his skin, his memories flashed like lightning—him holding Aeris under starlight, him losing her in battle, him watching her burn to save children in a timeline that never happened.

He felt the weight of every version of her. And of himself.

"Then let me carry it," Kael said. "Not her. Not either of her. Let me be the fracture. Let her be whole."

The Mirror shards shattered into beams of pure possibility.Time folded inward.

And in a single, blinding moment…

One version stepped toward Fracture-Aeris—becoming her tether. Accepting the weight of unchosen paths, the guilt, the duty, the rage.

Another remained with his Aeris, standing by her side—not to fix her, but to love her.

The world rippled. One Kael burned, one Kael bloomed.

When the light faded, only one Aeris remained—eyes full of storm and sunrise.And one Kael stood beside her—scarred anew, but smiling.

The paradox had been contained—not destroyed, not erased—but absorbed.

Elsewhere, in a quiet corner of time, the second Kael opened his eyes beside Fracture-Aeris… now calm, now human. And they walked into a horizon that never existed before.

The Aeon Mirror whispered its final words:

"Sometimes, the only way to choose… is to become the choice."

The Choice that Breaks Time
