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

The plunge was abrupt — Kael and Aeris hurtled through an abyss of swirling shadows and piercing light. The air around them crackled with raw energy, a chaotic symphony of whispers and roars. The very fabric of reality seemed to warp and twist, bending under the weight of unseen forces.

Kael's fingers grazed the void, sending sparks of electric blue arcs dancing off his skin. Aeris's violet glow flared brighter, illuminating their path through the darkness, painting shadows with light.

Slowly, the chaos condensed into a narrow corridor — walls made of shifting silver mist, shimmering like liquid glass under an alien moonlight. The corridor stretched infinitely, but something deep inside them urged a step forward.

Aeris's voice broke the silence, low and steady: "This is the Veil. It reveals what's hidden beneath the surface."

Kael nodded, muscles tense, eyes scanning the ethereal walls that flickered with images — memories, possibilities, lies, and truths intertwining in an endless dance.

As they moved forward, the mist thickened, coalescing into forms — faces from their past, friends and foes alike, each one speaking a fragment of forgotten truths or whispered doubts.

Kael's heart clenched when he saw his father's stern face, eyes heavy with judgment. The corridor echoed his father's cold words from years ago: "You'll never be enough."

Aeris squeezed Kael's arm gently. "You're not alone. We'll face this together."

Ahead, the mist parted, revealing a massive mirror framed in obsidian veins that pulsed with dark light. The surface shimmered, reflecting not just their physical forms, but their deepest fears and secrets.

Kael stepped forward, the air thick with tension. As his hand touched the mirror, ripples cascaded across the surface, and suddenly, he was no longer looking at himself — but at a version twisted by despair and rage, eyes glowing red, mouth twisted in a bitter snarl.

"This is your shadow self," Aeris said softly. "The part of you that wants to give up, to surrender to pain."

Kael's jaw tightened. "I won't let it win."

Beside him, Aeris faced her own reflection. It flickered between her present self and a dark figure, cloaked in shadows, a silent scream frozen on its face.

Before either could react, the mirror shattered violently, shards swirling in a cyclone of light and shadow, pulling them inside.

They landed in a vast chamber of fractured realities — fragments of timelines overlapping like shattered glass. Around them, echoes of choices they hadn't made flickered in and out.

Kael's eyes darted. "This place… it's showing us every path, every what-if."

Aeris's voice trembled. "And the consequences we tried to bury."

Suddenly, a figure stepped from the shadows — the Architect, his smile cold and triumphant.

"You see now," he said, voice silky with menace, "the true nature of your existence — fractured, doomed to repeat."

Kael and Aeris exchanged a glance — a silent vow.

Before Kael could respond, the Architect's hand snapped forward, and the chamber exploded into a blinding flash.
