The smell of blood invaded my nostrils. I watched helplessly as the woman standing over me raised her sword. I was completely drained, I had no mana left, no items, nothing. As the crimson tendrils held me down by my arms and legs, all I could do was wait for my death. As the sword drew near, I felt the last bit of courage I had disappear. I was going to die. Alone. In this god forsaken place filled with evil. And for what? To protect those ‘friends’? The same people who mocked me, took advantage of, and used me? Oh, who am I trying to fool? I was here only because of my own greed. Because I wanted to be useful to someone. Because I wanted to that group to need me. To value me. To have a reason to keep me around. How naïve I was, thinking that power would grant those wishes. All it did was help build a wall between me and everyone else. The sword approached. I saw the purple light reflect off the sword’s blade. After everything I went through, I hadn’t expected my death to be by the hands of another player. I saw her smile, but this time I didn’t think it was beautiful. It was an ugly smile because it was genuine. She was enjoying watching me die. She was enjoying killing me. The sword struck my chest and pierced my heart. I let out a scream of pain and agony. The pain was so real, all of this was so real. It shouldn’t be, but it was. What should have been a simple game had become my new reality – all of our new reality. A reality filled with magic, war, blood, and death. My vision darkened as the pain slowly faded. I felt the last of my vitality leave my body. It felt cold. I wondered to myself, when would I stop being? When would my thoughts disappear? Soon, I saw those words I feared for all this time appear before me. “DEATH”, in the pale blue font the game always used. They remained suspended in the air for several seconds. It was over. After a long time of fighting, grinding, and exploring, it was finally over. I had died. This was the end of my story. Suddenly, words before me shifted and changed into something different. I took a shallow breath as I heard a faint heartbeat. * * * Cover art by me * * * We have a discord!

Sagiri was never meant to exist. After his entire clan was wiped out he is the only surviving member and the last keeper yet he doesn't remember. Raised in secrecy and sent to Galka War Academy, he survives among boys trained to kill, endure, and obey. While others rely on strength and discipline, Sagiri carries something older. an echo that sharpens his senses, bends his body, and slowly erodes his humanity. The Echo is the legacy of the N’garu, a legendary clan erased from the world in a single night. They were warriors who could slip between moments, speak to the shadows of the past, and reshape fate with a thought. Their extinction was celebrated across the tribes. Their return is feared more than war. Sagiri carries the last spark of their power. A whispering presence tied to his heartbeat. A force that chooses its own master. But when he crosses paths with Lira, a girl unknowingly created to kill him, the Echo reacts violently breaking the barrier meant to forget and he remembers. Visions flood his mind. Forgotten beings turn their eyes. And the world begins to shift around him. The South wants to crown him. The North wants to erase him. The Echo within him wants something else entirely. And it has finally awakened. https://discord.gg/gMa9tend

"Du wolltest mich nie", Evas Stimme zitterte, aber ihr Blick blieb fest, als sie Maxmillan anfunkelte. "Du warst zu geblendet von deiner Liebe zu Sara, um die Wahrheit zu sehen." Maximilian ballte seine Fäuste, sein Kiefer angespannt. "Glaubst du, ich bereue es nicht? Jeden Moment, Eva. Jeden Moment, in dem ich dir wehgetan habe..." "Mir wehgetan?" unterbrach sie ihn, ihre Augen voller Zorn. "Du hast mich ruiniert, Max. Du hast zugelassen, dass meine Schwester und Stiefmutter mich zerstören, und als ich dich am meisten brauchte, hast du mir den Rücken zugewandt, du hast mich durch die Hölle gehen lassen." Seine Brust verengte sich. "Ich lag falsch. Das weiß ich jetzt, aber..." "Aber es ist zu spät", fauchte sie. "Ich bin nicht mehr das hilflose Mädchen, das du zurückgelassen hast. Ich bin zurückgekommen, um zu holen, was mir gehört." Max' Stimme wurde sanfter, fast flehend. "Und was, wenn ich ein Teil dessen bin, was dir gehört?" Evas Lippen kräuselten sich zu einem bitteren Lächeln. "Vielleicht. Oder vielleicht werde ich dich zerstören, so wie du mich zerstört hast." ******* Zu einer lieblosen Ehe gezwungen, um das Familienunternehmen zu retten, erträgt Eva die Grausamkeit ihres Ehemanns Maximilian, der glaubt, sie hätte seinen Großvater manipuliert, sie als Braut zu wählen. Geblendet von seiner Liebe zu ihrer Schwester, ließ Maximilian Eva durch die Hölle gehen. Eva wird für eine Tragödie verantwortlich gemacht und ins Gefängnis geschickt, sie wird von einer mächtigen und einflussreichen Person gerettet, von deren Existenz sie nie wusste. Sechs Jahre später kehrt Eva zurück. Nicht mehr die gebrochene und hilflose Frau, die sie einst war, ist sie jetzt eine Kraft, mit der man rechnen muss. Sie ist zurück, um sich an all jenen zu rächen, die ihr Leben zur Hölle gemacht haben. Nun bereut Maximilian seine Fehler und ist nicht bereit, sie gehen zu lassen. Wird Eva sich für die Liebe entscheiden oder wird Rache das Einzige sein, was ihr gebrochenes Herz heilen kann?

"Você nunca me quis", a voz de Eva tremia, mas seu olhar era firme enquanto ela encarava Maxmillan. "Você estava muito cego pelo seu amor por Sara para ver a verdade." Maximilian cerrou os punhos, sua mandíbula tensa. "Você acha que eu não me arrependo? A cada momento, Eva. Cada momento que passei te machucando.." "Me machucando?" ela o interrompeu, seus olhos cheios de raiva. "Você me arruinou, Max. Você deixou minha irmã e madrasta me destruírem, e quando eu mais precisei de você, você me deu as costas, você me fez passar pelo inferno." O peito dele apertou. "Eu estava errado. Eu sei disso agora, mas..." "Mas é tarde demais", ela respondeu bruscamente. "Eu não sou mais aquela garota indefesa que você deixou para trás. Eu voltei para pegar o que é meu." A voz de Max suavizou, quase implorando. "E se eu for parte do que é seu?" Os lábios de Eva se curvaram em um sorriso amargo. "Talvez. Ou talvez eu vá destruir você da mesma forma que você me destruiu." ******* Forçada a um casamento sem amor para salvar os negócios de sua família, Eva suporta a crueldade de seu marido, Maximilian, que acredita que ela manipulou seu avô a escolhê-la como noiva. Cego pelo seu amor pela irmã dela, Maximilian fez Eva passar pelo inferno. Eva é incriminada por uma tragédia e mandada para a prisão, ela é resgatada por uma figura poderosa e influente que ela nunca soube que existia. Seis anos depois, Eva retorna. Não mais a mulher quebrada e indefesa que ela já foi, Ela é agora uma força a ser reconhecida. Ela está de volta para buscar vingança contra todos aqueles que fizeram de sua vida um inferno. Agora, Maximilian se arrepende de seus erros e não está pronto para deixá-la ir. Eva escolherá o amor ou a vingança será a única coisa que poderá curar seu coração partido?

"Nunca me quisiste", la voz de Eva tembló, pero su mirada era firme mientras miraba a Maxmillan. "Estabas demasiado cegado por tu amor por Sara para ver la verdad." Maximilian apretó los puños, con la mandíbula tensa. "¿Crees que no me arrepiento? Cada momento, Eva. Cada momento que pasé haciéndote daño.." "¿Haciéndome daño?" lo interrumpió, sus ojos llenos de ira. "Me arruinaste, Max. Dejaste que mi hermana y mi madrastra me destruyeran, y cuando más te necesitaba, me diste la espalda, me hiciste pasar por un infierno." Su pecho se tensó. "Me equivoqué. Lo sé ahora, pero..." "Pero es demasiado tarde", espetó. "Ya no soy la chica indefensa que dejaste atrás. He vuelto por lo que es mío." La voz de Max se suavizó, casi suplicante. "¿Y si yo soy parte de lo que es tuyo?" Los labios de Eva se curvaron en una sonrisa amarga. "Tal vez. O tal vez te destruiré como tú me destruiste a mí." ******* Obligada a un matrimonio sin amor para salvar el negocio de su familia, Eva soporta la crueldad de su marido, Maximilian, quien cree que ella manipuló a su abuelo para que la eligiera como su novia. Cegado por su amor por la hermana de Eva, Maximilian hizo que Eva pasara por un infierno. Eva es incriminada por una tragedia y enviada a prisión, es rescatada por una figura poderosa e influyente que nunca supo que existía. Seis años después, Eva regresa. Ya no es la mujer rota e indefensa que una vez fue, ahora es una fuerza con la que hay que contar. Ha vuelto para buscar venganza contra todos aquellos que habían hecho de su vida un infierno. Ahora, Maximilian se arrepiente de sus errores y no está dispuesto a dejarla ir. ¿Elegirá Eva el amor o será la venganza lo único que pueda sanar su corazón roto?

"Tu ne m'as jamais voulue," la voix d'Eva tremblait, mais son regard était ferme alors qu'elle fixait Maxmillan. "Tu étais trop aveuglé par ton amour pour Sara pour voir la vérité." Maximilian serra les poings, la mâchoire crispée. "Tu penses que je ne le regrette pas ? Chaque instant, Eva. Chaque instant où je t'ai fait souffrir.." "Me faire souffrir ?" coupa-t-elle, ses yeux remplis de colère. "Tu m'as détruite, Max. Tu as laissé ma sœur et ma belle-mère me détruire, et quand j'avais le plus besoin de toi, tu m'as tourné le dos, tu m'as fait traverser l'enfer." Sa poitrine se serra. "J'avais tort. Je le sais maintenant, mais..." "Mais c'est trop tard," lança-t-elle. "Je ne suis plus la fille sans défense que tu as laissée derrière toi. Je suis revenue pour récupérer ce qui m'appartient." La voix de Max s'adoucit, presque suppliante. "Et si je fais partie de ce qui t'appartient ?" Les lèvres d'Eva se courbèrent en un sourire amer. "Peut-être. Ou peut-être que je te détruirai comme tu m'as détruite." ******* Forcée dans un mariage sans amour pour sauver l'entreprise de sa famille, Eva endure la cruauté de son mari, Maximilian, qui croit qu'elle a manipulé son grand-père pour qu'il la choisisse comme épouse. Aveuglé par son amour pour la sœur d'Eva, Maximilian lui a fait vivre l'enfer. Eva est accusée à tort d'une tragédie et envoyée en prison, elle est secourue par une figure puissante et influente dont elle ignorait l'existence. Six ans plus tard, Eva revient. N'étant plus la femme brisée et impuissante qu'elle était autrefois, elle est maintenant une force avec laquelle il faut compter. Elle est de retour pour se venger de tous ceux qui ont fait de sa vie un enfer. Maintenant, Maximilian regrette ses erreurs et n'est pas prêt à la laisser partir. Eva choisira-t-elle l'amour ou la vengeance sera-t-elle la seule chose qui puisse guérir son cœur brisé ?

"Beni asla istemedin," Eva'nın sesi titredi, ancak bakışları Maxmillan'a bakarken sabitti. "Sara'ya olan aşkınla gerçeği göremeyecek kadar kördün." Maximilian yumruklarını sıktı, çenesi gergin. "Pişman olmadığımı mı sanıyorsun? Her an, Eva. Sana zarar verdiğim her an.." "Bana zarar vermek mi?" diye sözünü kesti, gözleri öfkeyle doluydu. "Beni mahvettin, Max. Kız kardeşimin ve üvey annemin beni yok etmesine izin verdin ve sana en çok ihtiyacım olduğunda, bana sırtını döndün, beni cehenneme sürükledin." Göğsü sıkıştı. "Yanılmışım. Şimdi bunu biliyorum, ama..." "Ama artık çok geç," diye çıkıştı. "Artık arkanda bıraktığın çaresiz kız değilim. Bana ait olanı almak için geri döndüm." Max'ın sesi yumuşadı, neredeyse yalvarıyordu. "Ya ben de sana ait olanın bir parçasıysam?" Eva'nın dudakları acı bir gülümsemeye büründü. "Belki. Ya da belki de beni mahvettiğin gibi seni mahvedeceğim." ******* Ailesinin işletmesini kurtarmak için sevgisiz bir evliliğe zorlanan Eva, kocası Maximilian'ın ona karşı acımasızlığına katlanmak zorunda kalır. Maximilian, dedesini kendisini gelin olarak seçmeye manipüle ettiğine inanmaktadır. Kız kardeşine olan aşkıyla körleşmiş olan Maximilian, Eva'yı cehenneme sürükledi. Eva bir trajedinin sorumlusu olarak gösterilir ve hapse atılır, daha önce varlığından haberdar olmadığı güçlü ve etkili bir figür tarafından kurtarılır. Altı yıl sonra Eva geri döner. Artık eskiden olduğu kırık ve çaresiz kadın değildir. Şimdi hesaplaşılması gereken bir güçtür. Hayatını cehenneme çevirenlerin hepsinden intikam almak için geri dönmüştür. Şimdi, Maximilian hatalarından pişmandır ve onu bırakmaya hazır değildir. Eva aşkı mı seçecek yoksa intikam mı kırık kalbini iyileştirebilecek tek şey olacak?
