Shattered Origins

Ran wakes up in a world she doesn't recognize - bleeding, terrified, and running for her life.
Alarms scream behind her. Glass shatters under her feet. She doesn't know where she is, who she's escaping from, or why her mind feels strained under a pressure that isn't hers. All she knows is that she has to reach the city. She has to survive.

Stumbling into the streets of Astrafall, Ran collides with Mana - a sharp‑tongued young woman whose irritation vanishes the moment she sees Ran's fear. Against her better judgment, Mana takes her in. What she doesn't realize is that the stranger she's sheltering carries a Flux: the mysterious, emotion‑driven curse whispered to cling only to the wounded and the vulnerable.

Mana knows the whispers well.
She bears a Flux of her own.

As Ran struggles to heal, fragments of memories surface: restraints, cold lights, a faceless presence, and the unmistakable sense that she was never meant to escape. Her Flux reacts unpredictably, warping around her fear and threatening to spiral beyond her control.

Meanwhile, unsettling incidents ripple across Astrafall - disappearances, unexplained attacks, and a pattern no one can name. Flux‑touched vigilantes search for answers. Civilians whisper about the curse that chooses only the broken. And somewhere in the shadows, someone is watching Ran's every move.

Caught between a past she can't remember and a future she's terrified to face, Ran must confront the truth about what was done to her - and what her Flux is becoming - before the forces pursuing her turn Astrafall into a battlefield.

But identity is a fragile thing.
And Ran's may be the key to saving the city...
or destroying it.
