What is life, if not a trap we never asked for? Thrown into existence without a say, shaped by forces beyond our control be it family, faith, or plain survival, all while pretending we choose our path. We endure, chasing illusions of purpose, only to realise the one true escape, death, too, is beyond our control.
But what if death isnt the end? What if it pulls you into a fractured world like Elysandra, shadowed by a black moon that appeared fifty years ago with the first rifts, a silent remnant of something ancient and broken?
Yun, a soul from a forgotten life, dies saving a stranger and wakes in a new body, entangled in wars against jealous immortals and beasts from shattered realms. As hidden powers awaken and truths about his fate unfold, he grapples with the real question: Is rebirth a chance to break free, or just another layer of the same old prison? Is the purpose he exists truly his own, or is he just forced into a path that he has no intention of taking?
For sometimes, the greatest comfort comes in knowing what you want, despite the fact you get it or not.
