Xin:The Will

In a world shaped by choice and will, an unseen force stirs beneath the surface of humanity — Xin, the eternal resonance born when free will first awakened. It is neither god nor spirit, but the intangible echo of every soul’s defiance and longing. Some humans, driven by overwhelming emotions and unyielding will, resonate with Xin. This connection births their Qing — the crystallized core of their soul’s intent. These transcendent beings, known as Fugues, walk unique Paths forged from their deepest truths, shaping reality with the power of pure purpose. Yet not all who reach for Xin find harmony. Those whose wills fracture, whose hearts falter, become twisted shadows of their former selves—Fuhai, the Lost Echoes. Consumed by decay and despair, they haunt the boundaries between worlds, threatening the fragile balance forged by the Fugue. This is the story of Xin’s silent call, the rise of those bound by Qing, and the looming shadow of the Fuhai — a world where memory, love, and will collide, and where the fate of all rests on the strength of the soul.
