Narrative:
You sleep deeply. No dreams. No pain. Just silence.
But as Yang Kai awakens in another corner of the sect, his Sea of Consciousness tearing open as the Golden Skeleton fuses into him…
Something inside you responds.
[Sea of Consciousness – Internal Realm]
Darkness. Then starlight. A thin silver crack appears in the air, like a blade slicing space open.
Out of it comes a fragmented silver mirror, floating in front of your sleeping soul form.
It hums. Then speaks—not in words, but in images.
Your inheritance awakens.
Mirror of Samsara: Bound.
Void Soul Constitution: Activated.
Soul-Echo Capability: Unlocked.
A pulse of power floods your spiritual core. Your Sea of Consciousness expands instantly. The pain you've carried for years vanishes.
You breathe… differently.
[Backstory Flashback – 2 Years Ago | Hidden Fragment of Fate]
You're 13, wandering through your family's forgotten underground library. You weren't supposed to be there—but you were curious.
At the far end, behind a collapsed wall, you found it.
A shard of silver glass, buried inside a stone altar carved with stars.
No one knew it was there. No one saw it enter you.
It didn't shine. It didn't scream. It just… fused silently into your soul.
Since then, you've had:
Strange flashes of people you never met
Instincts in fights you never learned
A calmness others found eerie
But only now, under the pressure of life and death awakening in Yang Kai's story, did the Mirror of Samsara reveal itself fully.
Next Day
You wake before dawn. The world feels… clearer. You sense energy in the air. Patterns in people's movements. Faint tremors of someone nearby breaking through.
Yang Kai has begun his rise.
So have you.
