Ash After Ink

Five university friends buy an old book as a joke.

They never expect it to choose them back.

Through a mysterious antique book, five friends are pulled into another world-one that does not erase who they are, but renames them, binds them to unfamiliar fates, and scatters them across a land that already seems to know them far too well.

Their faces remain the same.
Their memories remain intact.
But their names-and the world they belong to-are no longer theirs.

Separated upon arrival, each must survive in a realm filled with danger, power, and histories they do not remember living-yet others remember for them. Old grudges, unspoken expectations, and unfinished destinies close in, as the five struggle to understand why this world called for them.

The book that brought them there burns away, leaving no path back-
only forward.

Bound by friendship, fractured by fate, they must find each other again in a world that insists they were never strangers to begin with.
