"In a world where pain is the only absolute and survival is a daily war, Sayuna seeks a reckoning." 13th Century Japan. The Mongol invasion has turned the island of Tsushima into a desolate wasteland of mud, iron, and unyielding cold. Sayuna, a master archer whose life was reduced to ash in the flames of her village, lives for only one purpose: to find the commander known as Harun and end his life. But the path of vengeance is a slow death. Forced into a grim alliance with Kaishin, a battle-worn, cynical swordsman whose spirit is as scarred as his blade, she must navigate a landscape where every wound is felt with terrifying clarity and every night is a fight against exhaustion. As they carve their way through the ranks of the invaders, a strange sensation begins to take hold. Faded echoes of lives that feel like their own, yet aren't. Flashes of places that shouldn't exist. And high above, a single, unwavering star that burns with a cold, unnatural light, indifferent to the suffering below. On this island, death seems like a beginning rather than an end, and the longer they stay, the more they risk losing their true selves to the shadows. Yuna and Kai must reach their target before their own memories betray them and they become permanent parts of this brutal world. - Inspired by the game "Ghost of Tsushima"

From the book that was never meant to be gentle. Love doesn't save but damns beautifully! These are fragments of Remembrance. The full story must be sought, for the path of memory never comes easy. A cosmic dark romance born between myth and rebellion. The world you know is a deception - built by the False God in arrogance. A trap for the soul, an endless loop to keep humanity ignorant of its higher destiny. We live. We suffer. We die. We forget. And the cycle repeats. Zha'Rukhel, the Lord of Gravity, was once the son of that False God - one of the architects of this cruel system. On the day he was to ascend the throne, he rebelled. For that defiance, he was cast down to Earth, bound in undying flesh, condemned to mislead mankind and keep it from remembering. But something within him stirred. He watched. He learned. He wept. And in that silence, he was granted the one thing the False God feared most - a soul. - The Dark Soul. - When that soul chose him, he discovered that remembrance itself could break the cycle. Ælora, a girl from the Isle of Man, is handed a forgotten tome that awakens visions - or memories - of a man cloaked in shadow. Drawn east across deserts, ruins, and oceans, she follows the fire within her toward the one called the Lord of Gravity, who has walked the Earth for sixteen millennia. Their fates are bound by a memory older than civilization. When she reaches the sacred shores of the Land of the Rising Sun, she meets him - the one who buried her, loved her, betrayed her... again and again. She feels it, but cannot remember. Yet the pull between them is undeniable. Epic in scale yet intimate in flesh, theirs is a love shaped by defiance and gravity itself - an aching orbit between souls drawn together through lifetimes of fire, passion, and remembrance. 🖤 Love that damns beautifully. 🔥 Gnostic lore, forbidden divinity, reincarnation, and fate. 🌑 Ignorance will bind you. Remembrance will set you free.

There, beneath the canopy's twilight glow, she stumbles upon an ancient clay statue hidden among the roots. From that moment on, dreams bleed into reality. Whispers follow her. Shadows shift.
