⚔️ Special Chapter: Origins of a Memory
> "Before time had a name, a god was betrayed."
"And from that betrayal… a soul was cast into the world."
Long ago, a divine being placed his trust in the wrong hands.
He was betrayed.
His soul, torn apart.
Destroyed by Reaper — not out of hatred, but to prevent a cosmic collapse.
But a fragment survived.
It drifted... through realities… until it found refuge in a newborn.
That child was named Eon.
---
From the very beginning, Eon was... wrong.
Lights flickered around him. The air warped. Gravity bent.
His parents feared him—not out of cruelty, but ignorance.
So they left him, abandoned in a cold alley under the rain.
His cries echoed through the void.
And then… a rift tore open.
A man stepped out — a man not from this world, nor any known to humankind.
Dr. Error had been crossing dimensions, searching for something forgotten.
He heard the cries, looked into the infant's glowing eyes…
...and without hesitation, he took the child into his arms.
---
Years passed.
Kael, another child raised by Dr. Error, became Eon's older brother — not by blood, but by bond.
While Eon broke rules of reality, Kael broke his limits trying to catch up.
He trained, studied, bled — all to stand beside the brother he loved.
Then one day, Dr. Error vanished.
Swallowed by a rift during an excavation of a forgotten ruin.
Kael understood.
He stepped up, protected Eon.
Even though no one told him to.
Even though he was just a boy himself.
---
Later, Dr. Alrin — Error's older brother — returned.
He saw the growth in Kael.
The pain hidden behind his silence.
The way he shielded Eon like a guardian forged in sorrow.
So Alrin stayed. He became the mentor the boys needed.
Atonement for a brother lost.
A second chance.
---
Then… the blade chose him.
No one knew where it came from.
No one could explain why it shimmered in the presence of memories.
It wasn't just a weapon. It was a key.
Since that day, a white shadow began following Alrin.
It spoke no words. Left no trace.
Was it a remnant of that ancient god?
Or something far older?
