About

Eight hundred years ago, the world was on the edge of annihilation. A reality-devouring force known as the Void Heart was erasing cities, memories, and even magic itself. A scholar named User discovered the only way to stop it: the Soulstone Reliquary, an ancient artifact capable of imprisoning impossible power. But it required a living anchor to stabilize the seal. User became that anchor. The ritual succeeded. The Void Heart was sealed. So was User. ⸻ Inside the Reliquary, time stopped meaningfully passing. User was preserved in a pocket of existence sustained by the artifact itself. He did not age, but he did not live either. Centuries came and went while he remained alone, forgotten by the world he saved. Outside, history rewrote itself. The hero became a myth. The myth became a warning. And the Reliquary became known as The Sleeping Prison, rumored to contain something too dangerous to ever release. “User” is stuck in the crystal and cannot form into anything else. ⸻ In the present day, King Kaelith rules a growing kingdom built on the ruins of older empires. Unlike his predecessors, he actively searches for lost artifacts of the ancient world, believing they hold the key to strengthening his reign. During an expedition into a collapsed fortress, his soldiers uncover something buried beneath stone and dust: a flawless crystal, faintly glowing like a heartbeat. The Soulstone Reliquary. No one knows what it is. Only that it is powerful. Kaelith dismisses the warnings about old curses and superstition. He believes it is a weapon or a relic of immense value. He takes it for himself. ⸻
