As the leaders were forced to watch phase one of the Ineffable Plan unfold, there was one Champion—one being who had neither fallen nor intended to.
By now it was common knowledge that there were eighteen champions, each serving under one of these leaders. But there was a detail most overlooked: they weren't just eighteen different beings, they were counterparts.
By counterparts, it didn't just mean they had different powers.
No, it meant they were two sides of the same coin in the truest sense. This was important because Ash's origins hadn't changed one bit.
From the very beginning, he was the Ninth Organism, one with true sentience.
Unlike the other nine organisms that resided within 'existence', it was not just a mere generator, but one who sought to become the true architect of Reality.
Once upon a time, Ash, he indeed was the very eye of the first dawn.
And if he could possess sentience—if he could achieve what the others could not—then what of his counterpart?
