Vaelin awakens-but he is not the first.
His mind is not his alone. It is a battlefield, a graveyard of forgotten selves-fractured identities, each born from the last, each shaped by trauma, survival, and unrelenting power.
They lived before him. They fought before him. They had pasts, had lives, had purpose-until they vanished into slumber, leaving him to rise in their place.
But Vaelin had a life once, too.
And now, without warning, he is back, returning to a world that kneels before him yet does not truly know him.
The temple whispers, the jungle shifts, and something stirs in the echoes of his mind, pressing him toward truths long buried in the darkness of those who came before.
Why did they disappear?
Why is he the one who resurfaced?
And when the cycle begins again, who will take his place next?
