In a future where reality is stitched together by unstable dimensions and ancient codes, Kael Riven is a broken warrior haunted by a past he can't remember—and a future he fears. Branded as a failed Reclaimer, Kael is assigned to purify corrupted Gate fragments left behind by dead kings and forgotten gods. But when a mission goes wrong, he awakens a power long sealed beneath his skin: the Seed—a sentient, living force tied to humanity’s original fall.

As Kael collects fragments of the Seed, his strength grows—and so does the voice in his mind. It belongs to a mysterious girl in red, a ghost who claims to be more than just memory. Each fragment awakens visions of a life he never lived: a throne, a war, and the truth that he may not be a man at all… but the very King who shattered the world long ago.

When the forbidden Gate XIII begins to stir from within him, Kael must travel beyond known space to confront his past self—while resisting the pull of a throne that remembers everything he tried to forget.

Teamed with Yanis Drae, a sharp-tongued warrior with secrets of her own, Kael must navigate collapsing realms, corrupted Seedborn, and the emergence of factions who believe Kael's return means the end of all timelines.

But the greatest enemy lies inside.

Because Kael didn't just carry the Seed…

He created it.

Ascension Protocol: The Last Reclaimer

Location: Null Layered Vault – Beyond Timeflow

They blinked, but not in confusion. Only calibration.

The soul behind them was not lost. It had never existed.

She was built from memory residue, stitched together from fragments that Yanis had once discarded, hidden, or overwritten.

Everything Yanis chose to endure and grow from…

This version had only inherited the trauma, not the strength.

[Purpose: Devour the Seed of Self]

She rose, each step echoing without friction.

The throne room was still reforming around her — a black cathedral of soundless glass and inverted light.

Only witnessing shadows that bowed in programmed submission.

She stared at her hands. Pale, elegant, identical to Yanis.

But when she flexed her fingers… a thin mist of static bled from the joints.

> "I am not broken," she said aloud.

Her voice carried the exact timbre of the original Yanis.

It was like listening to a music box built to mimic a symphony.

Scene: Internal System – Ghost Queen's Core Memory

Each mirror showed a different Yanis:

One dying as she turned back time.

One holding Kael's hand and smiling.

One screaming alone in a sealed Cathedral chamber.

> "Emotional conflict detected. Purging..."

Location: Cathedral Remnant, Earth Zero

His connection to the Seed pulsed with static.

> "It's happening again, isn't it?"

Kael nodded slowly. "She's awake."

Scene Cut: Ghost Queen Looks to Earth

Her eyes shimmered. For a moment, Kael's face reflected in her pupils.

> "He carries her final kindness," she whispered.

Her arm shifted — not in shape, but concept.

A blade emerged, not forged in metal or flame, but made from denied futures — timelines where Yanis chose vengeance instead of sacrifice.

Final Scene: The Forgemother Wakes

Elsewhere — far below Earth's surface, past even the Deepvaults — another entity stirred.

Yanis had once gone to her to sever the King from the Seed.

And now, sensing the false Queen rise…

The Forgemother whispered in a broken dialect of creation:

> "The child I shaped has been copied…"
