Me18

A soul out of place.
A universe out of balance.
A mission no one can know exists.

Sebastian Dalton awakens in a world that shouldn't know him—in a body that isn't quite his own—with memories that defy the laws of reality. Shadows ripple beneath the surface of a galaxy marching toward catastrophe, and something deeper than war is unraveling behind the scenes.

Guided by a voice no one else can hear and shaped by forces older than time, Sebastian must navigate a reality built on shifting truths. The future hinges not on conquest, but on subtle correction. And if he fails, what falls may not be just one galaxy.

In the end, he isn't here to fight fate.
He's here to replace it.

Mass Effect: Right the Unwritten Path (Fanfic)

-Destiny = the intended shape of the galaxy's future (not rigid, an ideal outcome range). Example: Shepard's survival, Reaper war resolution.

-Fate = the unseen scaffolding of cause and effect that pushes toward destiny. Currently OFFLINE.

-Karma = feedback/correction loop. Still running but unstable. Used by Sebastian to nudge flow.

-Weave: unseen karmic flow of cause/effect.

-Resonance: metaphysical signature; seen to affect Serena, Sebastian.

-Boiler, Boiler Room event: high pressure zone, sweat inducing, ambush designed to test or trap.

-Echo Threads: tagged anomalies in narrative consistency.

-Resonant Node: In the absence of Fate, the universe tries to "grow new seeds" of stabilization; the universe's desperate attempt to restore balance.

-Entropy: the creeping disorder in the galaxy's story and structure, spreading ever since Fate's collapse. It twists people, events, and factions off course — threatening to undo the entire future
