“What if the only person who can save the world… is the version of you that wants it to burn?”
In a crumbling world on the edge of collapse, 21-year-old Ash Verdan is broke, alone, and desperate. When he agrees to test a mysterious device in exchange for quick cash, he doesn’t expect to wake up in a parallel universe—one where he’s powerful, dangerous, and wanted.
But that version of him—Ashen Virel—won’t give up control easily.
As timelines begin to collapse and identities blur, Ash must confront the terrifying truth: the apocalypse isn’t coming. It’s already here—and it’s wearing his face.
Dark powers. Twisted timelines. One universe must fall.
This is the echo of the rift. And this is the rise of the second self.
