the_first_one_1
In a fractured world ruled by Guilds and war, fighters don't walk alone-they summon Soul Creatures, manifestations of their inner selves, bound through a living relic called the Soul Vault. But when one fighter awakens with a Vault that won't open, a name that's been erased, and a bond that looks back at him like it knows something he doesn't-everything begins to unravel.
Thrown into the Arena's bloodstained rankings with no memory, he's forced to battle tamed monsters, rival fighters, and corrupted Guild Lords-while haunted by visions of a past life he never lived. As his Vault begins to unlock piece by piece, it reveals not just skills or creatures... but memories-some that belong to him, and others that shouldn't.
Whispers of the First Vault surface. Fighters begin to disappear. And deep beneath the Arena, something stirs-watching the battles, feeding on the bonds, waiting for the right Vault to open again.
Bound by power, hunted by truth, and stalked by a monster that might be himself, he must uncover what the Soul Vaults really are... before they remember everything.
Power in this world isn't earned. It's remembered.
And sometimes, the soul remembers what it was never meant to.
