New Eridu stands as humanity's final fortress, where neon lights struggle to outshine the looming terror of the Hollows. Cedric arrives in this world not with a hero's ambition, but with a prisoner's resignation. He is here for one reason only: to fulfill a deal—live out a full life in exchange for the eternal silence of non existence.

Bearing a shattered soul where genuine emotions have long since withered away, leaving only a hollow emptiness, Cedric desires nothing more than to remain a ghost in the crowd, sleeping away his days to escape reality.

Thrown into a chaotic world of Ethereals and monsters, Cedric finds that he can no longer remain a bystander.

This is not just a story of survival in a broken world. It is the journey of a boy who has forgotten how to feel, slowly learning to piece his shattered soul back together amidst the chaos.

Oh hi, its me, Sar. So ehhhh. I'm posting this chapter today to clear a few things up, hehehe. The main reason I vanished for 3 months... well, a lot has been happening lately and it just got overwhelming. Part of it was feeling burnt out (and a bit lazy too, hehehe). I've also tried so many ways to develop the plot, but... most of them turned out to be dead ends. Right now, the future of this fanfic is a bit uncertain. But what I really want to say is... I'll keep trying. This fic won't be dropped, lol! However, the updates might be slow for the upcoming chapters. Also, I might spend more time on my Frieren fanfic or start something new like a multiverse fanfic.
