In an apocalyptic world, survivors wield strange abilities drawn from the mysterious energy that now saturates the earth.
Some use their powers to protect; others to dominate.
Nations fall, ideologies clash, and the line between
human and monster blurs.
Haunted by fragments of dreams and faces he cannot name, Zero delves deeper into the mysteries surrounding his amnesia and his growing abilities, he begins to question the very nature of identity and power.
Is he the wielder of the deck, or merely a vessel for something far older and more dangerous?
The tarot becomes both a weapon and a mirror, forcing him to confront his inner demons and the blurred line between who he was and who he is becoming.
Ultimately, Zero's journey is not just about recovering his lost memories, but about whether fate is something to follow-or something to fight against.

The Dream of Forgotten Zero
(NOTE: This is written in a second-person point of view) They erased his name. They purged his past. But they forgot one thing - nothing stays forgotten forever. When Kazimierz Shunya is ripped from existence by a cosmic anomaly, he awakens in the Molten Dreamscape - a decaying world forged from dying gods, abandoned realities, and forgotten memories. Here, dreams shape the land, lost ambitions fuel monsters, and the very concept of death has been banished. Stripped of identity and power, he is hunted by Conceptual Fragments, God-like entities desperate to control the last remnants of a dying cosmos. But as he teeters on the brink of erasure, he discovers a forbidden truth: Zero still exists - and it lives within him. Now, armed with the unraveling power of Oblivion, he must decide whether to save a world built on lies, become a god among tyrants, or reduce everything to nothing. In a realm where belief bends reality and nothing is ever truly lost... the greatest threat is the one they tried hardest to forget.Complete

Remembrance of the Forlorn
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.

Recalls of Surrender
Alchemy has always been a key to understanding the universe, yet it has often been dismissed as mere superstition. The truth seared through my veins like scorching heat, igniting every cell of my being with a searing, uncompromising judgment. I sacrificed everything-my strength and sense of identity-chasing after an overwhelming purpose. Duty and conviction waged a war against a primal yearning for freedom, unleashing a maelstrom of emotions that threatened to tear me apart. This internal hell fueled an insatiable, maddening lust for vengeance, obliterating my moral compass and propelling me toward utter destruction. Only when I made a final decision did the fundamental principles of morality seem to slip through my fingers like grains of sand. Each savage blow against the oppressive system left me questioning: am I a righteous crusader, or a monster consumed by hatred? The poisonous doubt gnawed at my mind, suffocating my thoughts with insidious whispers. Yet, I found the strength to silence them. With fierce determination burning in my veins, I vowed to break free from the chains of oppression or die trying. Fear would not hold me captive any longer. As I teetered on the edge of life and death, I couldn't help but wonder: would I emerge victorious or succumb to the relentless wheels of fate? The answer lies shrouded in the mists of an uncertain future, but one thing is irrefutable: win or lose, every decision will ignite an inferno of change. This cataclysmic revolution will raze the old world and herald the birth of a new era. In this cosmic roulette, even the most steadfast warriors can turn to dust in the blink of an eye. Therefore, are you willing to participate? Given that there always was, is, and will be war. Hope stands stronger than fear, yet anything is possible when darkness lingers. It is the deflection of accountability and guilt. Yet when all seems lost, trust that the butterfly knows where the water flows.
