In the ashes of a fallen myth, a legend begins.

Seo Joon was once part of the Oathbound Eclipse—an ancient, noble guild feared across realms. Bound by a sacred vow to protect cosmic balance, they were betrayed... and annihilated.

Seo Joon alone survives.

Now cast into the mysterious Tower—an endless world of trials, monsters, and ascendants—he must climb, not for glory, but for vengeance and answers.

Alongside Cha Yu-ri, a kind-hearted warrior with a burdened past, Seo Joon uncovers forgotten truths, forms fated bonds, and confronts powers that seek to control destiny itself.

As old legends resurface and universes converge, Seo Joon must choose: remain a pawn, or become something beyond all limits.

The Oath is broken. The Eclipse has risen. And this time… nothing will chain him.

The Oathbound Eclipse

The Fifth Floor's echoes faded as they ascended the staircase of shattered mirrors.

At the summit, they emerged onto a platform suspended in silence—no sky, no horizon, only an ocean of softly pulsing runes below.

A single name glowed at its center, carved into obsidian:

[Binding Protocol: Soul Archive Initiated]

Yu-ri stepped forward. "Joon… do you feel that?"

He nodded slowly. The flame at his chest pulsed in sync with the floor.

Suddenly—a pulse of chains erupted from beneath.

The air twisted. A voice echoed—not from outside, but within Seo Joon.

> "Do you wish to remember the name they tried to erase?"

From the runes rose three specters—each cloaked, each bearing a chained nameplate.

The first whispered: "You were the Betrayer."

The second: "You were the Survivor."

The third: "You were... the Last Heir."

Each stepped forward, blades formed from chains.

> [Trial Initiated: Survive Your Names]

Kael leapt to block the Betrayer, who moved like a corrupted version of Seo Joon—erratic, brutal, unsparing.

Yu-ri defended against the Survivor, who fought defensively, determined to endure without ever striking first.

Seo Joon faced the Last Heir alone.

> "If you want your name back," the Heir said, "take it."

As the chains around the floor reacted to his presence, Seo Joon's flame burned with new intensity. His hand closed around nothing—and drew out a weapon of pure potential.

> [Skill Unlocked: Forged Identity – Chainblade: Oathrender]

This weapon manifests your right to defy forgotten roles.

With a surge, he struck—not just the Heir, but all three echoes at once.

The chains shattered. The name was his again.

> [True Name Acknowledged: Seo Joon]

[Your presence has been recorded in the Soul Archive.]

Closing Scene – The Archive Ripples

Above, a single sigil began to burn brighter—the chained eclipse.

> "The Archive has acknowledged him."

"When the truth awakens… even the Oath will burn."
