For generations, the islands of Tilbara lived in fragile harmony. Amakatsu, Harama, Shinganatsu, Evalia and Durama believed themselves safe beneath the silent guardianship of forgotten myths—Rudhana the Seer of Roots, Nagalira the Mirror-Serpent, and the unnamed echoes said to exist inside the Dreamscape, a realm between memory and reality. But peace ends the moment strange creatures—half-dream, half-flesh—spill into Harama. These are no mere beasts; they are Dream-Born, abominations leaking from a fractured rift deep beneath the world. Kabe Hiroki and his younger brother Ken, two academy youths with simple expectations, are dragged into the unfolding disaster when the Rift Beneath Harama erupts. Students vanish into echo storms. Some return… rewritten. Others never return at all. Harama barely survives the catastrophe, saved only through the desperate sacrifice of Tina-sensei, whose forbidden “Falling Orchid Seal” halts the collapse—but costs her life and fractures the island’s stability. As Trails flicker across the sky and Anchors awaken for the first time in centuries, Ken and Kabe become tied to forgotten history. The brothers discover that the Dreamscape is not a myth—it is the birthplace of the first memories, of the Five Pillars, and of ancient sins concealed by time. Through shifting maps, rewritten names, and ghostly echoes, the truth emerges: someone is altering the world itself. This manipulator is revealed to be Arcana, the First Upper Rank of the Memory Theater—a master of rewritten histories, guided by unseen powers in Kurogane. As Durama falls, the Trails ignite and a catastrophic Memory Storm tears across Tilbara, erasing, rewriting, and reshaping reality. With the Fifth Trail opening above them, Ken and Kabe cling to each other as the world fractures.
