　We always think that if we could go back to the past, had our time again, we could make the difference and control our destiny. 　But you have to believe that all meetings and departures have their own reasons.　　 As the long years pass, we finally get used to no longer having each other, living alone in our own worlds, no longer yearning so much, and no longer feeling so many regrets. 　If one day, we meet again at a corner of the city, will we still recognize each other, the person we once loved so deeply at first sight? No one knows. We always think that if lord gives us another chance, allowing us to go back to the past, to start over, we can correct our mistakes, control our fate, and have our time again, not realizing that in the myriad of timelines, we may have already reached a fork of the destiny, we have been losing each other. Everything that will happen, will happen eventually. So let's move forward, because that's our life.

Eight people are chosen. They come from different lives and different worlds, bound together by one shared truth: they have already lost everything that mattered to them. They are called pieces. One is a military commander, once the head of a kingdom’s army, now arrested and locked inside the same prison he once guarded. Others carry their own sins, regrets, and irreversible choices. They belong to a world called Nirvana, a place where modern technology exists alongside magic, kings, kingdoms, and hidden horrors. Every piece is tied to the fate of this world, whether they realize it or not. Drawn together by forces beyond their control, the eight are pulled into a larger game where survival, choice, and consequence matter more than morality. They are not heroes. They are not saviors. They are simply pieces that have already fallen. ------- Author’s Note English is not my first language, so I use AI tools for sentence structuring and proofreading.
