Ab Initio
Across the vast, fractured canvas of time, a cosmic war rages against the forces of entropy known only as The Others. These beings of pure malice seek to unravel creation, using corrupted power to enslave and destroy.
Against this terrifying threat stands the Querencia, a secret refuge operating outside the known laws of physics. Their weapon is the Mythron, a revolutionary device that dives into humanity's past, observing pivotal moments of ultimate struggle to harvest essential Traits—the pure essence of human virtue. Led by the brilliant but haunted observers, Atan and Katrina, and guided by the mysterious field agents, their mission is to forge a defense from the moral strength of those who came before.
But the harvest is costly. The soul at the heart of their quest is destined to reappear across ages and epochs—a single consciousness cycling through history in a difficult journey of reincarnation—and the act of observation carries existential risk.
And for the soul at the heart of this, existence is a relentless cycle.
Across epochs and astral planes, a single consciousness is reborn, spanning the diverse ages of Earth's history and the furthest reaches of the cosmos. The journey is just no heroic epic, but a trial laden with thorns and crushing burdens. In every life, sorrow threatens to consume him, pulling him into the dark clouds of despair.
Yet, the purpose of this endless reincarnation is not punishment—it is preparation. Within the crucible of countless lifetimes, the quiet strength of his character and the accumulated wisdom of his past experiences are the only allies he needs. To overcome the insurmountable obstacles and finally claim true happiness, he must fuse the scattered fragments of his lives and become the individual destiny demands.
This is the mysterious story of a soul's long, difficult road to its own magnificent realization.
