CINDERBORNE
Death did not give him an ending-only continuation.
Stripped of memory and identity, a soul drifts through the fractures of existence, passing through worlds stacked upon worlds, until it is reborn into Elyndra-a planet forged as the fourth creation.
He awakens not as a hero, nor as a god, but as the weakest possible spirit, an echo barely acknowledged by the world. In a realm where souls are recycled, power is inherited, and survival favors the ruthless, he must learn everything from nothing-language, form, pain, and purpose.
As ancient systems stir and forgotten laws awaken, storms of mana ripple across continents, tribes fracture, and beings long erased from history begin to move once more. Unseen forces watch him closely, for his existence does not align with the natural order.
This is not a tale of instant power or borrowed memories.
This is a slow descent into truth, where growth is earned, suffering is real, and every step forward costs something irreplaceable.
Before the flame rises, there is only ash.
And from ash, something forbidden is born.
