Okay, quick recap: I was just a regular dude. Office job, bad coffee, binge-watching questionable anime at 2 a.m. One night I hear a girl screaming, I get stupid, try to play hero, and boom — shot in the gut like a low-budget NPC.
Should’ve been Game Over, right? Roll credits? Nope.
I wake up in a creepy sci-fi lab, surrounded by people who look like they lost a poker game to Lex Luthor’s evil cousins. No memories, no name, and apparently I broke time on the way in.
Turns out, I don’t stay dead.
Every time I die, I come back — dragging a little something from the grave with me. Memories. Skills. Weird instincts I shouldn’t have. Oh, and there’s… something else. Something in the cracks of my mind.
They’re calling me a threat. Maybe a weapon.
Me? I’m starting to hear… an Echo.
Something’s coming back with me. Something stronger. Something angry.
And I think this time… I might just live long enough to become the problem.
