Table of contents

  1. 1The Thaw and the WhispersElias awakens from a millennia-long slumber beneath glacial ice, disoriented and grappling with fragmented memories of a cataclysmic past. He stumbles upon a remote village where ancient legends speak of a hero, or a destroyer, known only as 'The Eon-Bound', a name that sends shivers down his spine.
  2. 2Echoes of a Sundered PastAs Elias ventures into the wider world, he encounters the 'Aethelgard', an order dedicated to preserving the memory of The Eon-Bound as a benevolent savior, and the 'Umbrae', a clandestine group who brand the same figure a harbinger of ruin. He begins to piece together conflicting histories, realizing he is intrinsically linked to this divisive legend.
  3. 3The Shroud of TruthDriven by a desperate need to understand his own identity, Elias delves into forgotten archives and ancient ruins, unearthing cryptic prophecies and fragmented accounts from those who witnessed the Eon-Bound's original era. He learns of a powerful artifact, the 'Chronos Shard', which holds the key to the full truth of his past.
  4. 4Confronting the LegacyElias locates the Chronos Shard, but its activation triggers vivid, overwhelming visions of his past, revealing not a clear hero or villain, but a complex figure caught in an impossible conflict. He relives the pivotal moments that led to his entombment, understanding the nuanced reasons behind both adoration and condemnation.
  5. 5The Reckoning of AgesArmed with the complete, albeit agonizing, truth, Elias must confront both the Aethelgard and the Umbrae, each clinging to their distorted versions of history. He reveals the full scope of the Eon-Bound's actions, forcing them to reconcile their beliefs with a more complicated reality and sparking a societal crisis of faith.
  6. 6Forging a New DawnHaving shattered the ingrained myths, Elias chooses not to reclaim the mantle of either hero or villain, but to forge his own path in this new era. He dedicates himself to guiding humanity towards understanding its history, preventing the repetition of past mistakes, and building a future free from the shadow of his dual legacy.

  • The Boy Who Was Erased

    THE BOY WHO WAS ERASED Chapter One The Message at Midnight At exactly midnight, my phone vibrated. almost ignored it. Almost. Rain tapped against my bedroom window, soft at first, then harder, like someone impatiently knocking from the other side of the glass. I reached for my phone. One new message. Unknown Number My heart skipped. I opened it. «Do you remember me?» I stared at the screen. For a few seconds, I thought it was a joke. Then another message appeared. «You promised you wouldn't forget me.» LMy fingers went cold. I didn't know the number. I didn't know the person. And yet, something about those words made my chest hurt. I typed: Who is this? The reply came immediately. «You really don't remember me?» I swallowed. No. Who are you? Three dots appeared. Then disappeared. Then appeared again. Finally, the message arrived. «I'm the boy who died seven years ago.» Ll I stopped breathing. Seven years ago. I was twelve then. A child. I searched my memory, trying to find a face, a name, anything. Nothing. Then another message appeared. «My name is Noah.» The name hit me strangely. Not like a name I'd never heard. Like a name I'd forgotten. I sat up in bed. L"Noah..." I whispered it aloud. Something inside me moved. A memory. A flash. A boy standing beside a lake. Dark hair. A crooked smile. His hand reaching toward mine. Then— Nothing. The memory disappeared before I could hold onto it. My phone vibrated again. «Don't tell your mother.» LMy stomach tightened. I stared at those four words. How could a stranger know my mother? I typed: How do you know my mother? This time, the reply took longer. When it finally came, my hands began to shake. «Because she was there the night they erased me.» I couldn't move. Thunder rolled outside. I read the message again. Then again. They erased me. What did that even mean? Before I could respond, another message appeared. «Look under your bed.» I froze. My bedroom suddenly felt different. The darkness in the corners seemed deeper. I looked toward the floor. Nothing moved. I told myself it was a prank. Someone was trying to scare me. But my curiosity won. Slowly, I climbed out of bed. I knelt down. Then I looked underneath. At first, I saw nothing except dust. Then I noticed a small wooden box pushed against the wall. I had never seen it before. My hands trembled as I pulled it out. There was no lock. Inside was a photograph. I lifted it. My heart stopped. It was me. I was standing beside a boy. The same dark hair. The same crooked smile. Noah. My face was smiling in the photograph. His hand was wrapped around mine. On the back, written in faded black ink, were five words: You promised to remember me. I dropped the photograph. My phone vibrated one final time. I picked it up. There was only one message. «Now you know I'm real.» I stared at the screen. Then another message appeared. «Tomorrow, I'll tell you why you forgot me.» The room went silent. And for the first time in seven years, I remembered his face. Noah. The boy who was supposed to be dead. The boy I had promised never to forget. And suddenly, I was terrified of what I might remember next.
