📖 SYNOPSIS
In a world where memories can be burned into the soul and power is etched into the skin through living seals, Ash is a forgotten apprentice with no past and no purpose—until a voice of flame calls out from the ruins beneath the fallen city of Elarion.
What awakens is not merely a girl of fire, but a memory that was never meant to return. Together with allies hunted by fractured timelines and faithless orders, Ash begins to uncover the truth: that he was once part of an Eidolon experiment designed to resurrect forgotten gods.
Now, the world remembers him—and it wants him dead for it.
As his five-ring seal begins to unlock, Ash must choose: burn away what he was, or embrace the ember that could ignite the end of all things.

AOTE – Ashes of the Eidolon
📚 ARC 1: Ember Recalled
"When the flame remembered its name, the world trembled to forget it again."
(Arc Theme: Memory, Reawakening, and the Spark of Identity)
🔸 Chapter 1 – "Ash and the Forgotten Ring"
Ash awakens in a broken tower, with no memory and a sealed ring burned into his palm. Hunted by a cult that feeds on the remnants of time, he flees into the wastelands. There, he meets Sarai, a former Eidolon scholar, and Ira, a child Oracle with fragmented foresight.
🔸 Chapter 2 – "The Vault of Silent Flame"
The trio discovers a lost Eidolon facility buried beneath the ruins of Elarion. Inside, they unseal a hidden vault—and a chamber pulsing with living fire. Ash feels drawn to the flames, hearing a voice call his forgotten name.
🔸 Chapter 3 – "The City That Remembers"
As Ash's group explores deeper, the ruins come alive with psychic echoes. Ash sees visions of himself in a lab. Sarai suspects that Ash was involved in a long-buried Eidolon project. Tensions rise as Ira has a vision of a girl of fire—"the one that must not awaken."
🔸 Chapter 4 – "The Flame Below Elarion"
They reach the heart of the vault. Suspended in a glass cocoon of fire: a girl, dormant but alive. Her presence reawakens Ash's fragmented past. The chamber recognizes him as a former Subject. Sarai finds records calling the project Ashborn.
🔸 Chapter 5 – "The Ember's Name"
Ash touches the flame and releases her: Ember, the living memory of a sealed Eidolon. With her awakening, Ash's sealed memories surge forward. The Mirrorfold—a cult that manipulates fractured timelines—arrives, demanding Ember. She unleashes her first true power and vanishes in a blaze. Ash's fourth ring unlocks. The cost: a future sacrifice.
🔸 Chapter 6 – "The Path of Shattered Names"
Ash and the others pursue Ember, following echoes westward toward the Sky-Drowned Archives. The group is haunted by spectral Watchers—sentinels who enforce memory censorship. Ash starts hallucinating his younger self.
🔸 Chapter 7 – "Letters from the Ashfather"
They find an old war camp. Ash discovers encrypted letters addressed to him from someone called "The Ashfather." Sarai translates fragments suggesting Ash was once part of an experiment to recreate a god using human vessels.
🔸 Chapter 8 – "A Heart Too Bright to Hold"
The group finds a survivor enclave that worships Ember as a fire goddess. Ember herself reappears—changed, glowing with barely controlled emotion. Her presence disrupts local magic. She warns Ash: he must never unlock the fifth ring.
🔸 Chapter 9 – "The Shadeborn Rebellion"
Ash uncovers the truth about the war that shattered Elarion. He reads intercepted Shadeborn letters—rebels who tried to stop the Eidolon projects. The rebellion failed, but Ember had been their living weapon. Now, both she and Ash are being hunted again.
🔸 Chapter 10 – "Ashes That Dream of Fire"
Ash dreams of his time in the Ashborn Lab: how he gave Ember her name, and how their bond defied orders. Ember confesses she remembers more than she lets on. The world begins to change around them—flame reacting to his emotions. The fifth ring stirs.
