Aethel Frame: Echoes of the Lost
In a world reclaimed by a forgotten apocalypse, humanity survives within walled enclaves, besieged by monstrous, crystalline beasts known as Chimeras. The truth of the past—of the technologically advanced "Ancients" and their sudden downfall—is a lost and forbidden history.
The key to survival lies in the Aethel Frame, a latent spiritual and biological blueprint within every human. When awakened, it allows a user to absorb the "Soul Echoes" of defeated Chimeras, integrating their powers and traits. True mastery, however, comes not from collecting Echoes, but from synthesizing them into new, unique abilities.
Follow a young protagonist on his journey from a confused survivor to a legendary warrior. As he awakens his own Aethel Frame, he will uncover the dark secrets of the Ancients' legacy and learn that the Chimeras are not just monsters, but a key to humanity's future. It is a path of strategic evolution and brutal combat, where understanding the past is the only way to forge a new future and prevent history from repeating its mistakes.
