Shattering The Axis

Ryuji dies branded a traitor. Publicly executed by House Vareth, the noble family that raised him; his final moments burned not with regret, but hatred. He discovered a forbidden truth. They silenced him for it. Death should have ended him. But it verified him instead. A dormant System activates upon his execution: Condition: Death - Completed. Hidden Trait - Unlocked. Ryuji awakens on the day Prince Caelum was born, the moment his fate first began to unravel. Armed with memories of betrayal and five years of torture, he begins again. This time, he does not seek approval. He dismantles House Vareth from the shadows, exposing secrets and collapsing their power piece by piece. But revenge reveals a deeper horror: his previous death was not merely political; it was a correction. The world is governed by six Architect Laws that regulate fate itself. When deviation exceeds acceptable limits, lives are erased. Ryuji was erased. Now he refuses correction. As timelines destabilize and ancient enforcers awaken, the System reveals its purpose: to select a vessel capable of wielding the Collapse Authority, the power to judge reality itself. Ryuji can either perfect the world into a flawless cage. Or leave it imperfect and free. He chooses unpredictability. For the first time in history, The Axis remains silent.
