Mimus: Echoes of the past

DaoistYvgTTP
Mimus never asked to be chosen. He was a quiet shadow of a boy from a dying world, carrying more memory than ambition — until the day the sky burned and the Curators opened a Gate. Drawn into Varellen, a fractured dimension stitched from the Echoes of lost worlds, Mimus awakens in a place where identity is power and memory is weaponized. Here, warriors are forged not by strength alone, but by what they’ve repressed, what they regret, and what they refuse to forget. This is not a tournament. This is a trial of becoming — a labyrinth of realms shaped by emotion, where every step forward demands the unraveling of who you were. Armed with nothing but a blade and the weight of his unrealized selves, Mimus must navigate a world where truth burns, silence scars, and purpose is the only thing that keeps you from disappearing. Along the way, he will forge fragile alliances, face enemies who echo his darkest reflections, and uncover the buried fate of his best friend, Rynor — a boy who may have embraced everything Mimus refused to become. But the deeper he descends, the more he must ask: > What is left of you when every version of you has been tested? And who decides which echo survives?

My SSS Rank System

***his life had never been worse, hopeless, miserable...and alone. until he heard the sound... That small sound, like the chiming of a bell, Ding! Yes, that's the one, the sound that changed his life.*** He had always been the weakest. Laughed at by the villagers. Scorned by the hunters. Ignored by the world. Born without magic in a land where even children could tame flames or speak to beasts, Kael was a mistake in everyone’s eyes. He couldn't lift a training sword, summon a familiar, or even sense mana. Not even a flicker. Not even a spark. Not until the day the world cracked open before him. That day, rain poured like the sky wept for him. He knelt beside his sister’s broken pendant, the last thing he had of her. Mud caked his fingers. Blood stained the ground. And then— That sound. So soft, so sudden, it cut through the storm. Ding! A chime. A bell, bright and delicate, like hope itself. > [Congratulations, Host. You have been selected by the SSS Rank System.] [Initialization begins…] His breath caught. His heart skipped. And the sky— The sky stopped crying. From that moment, Kael was no longer the weakest. He just hadn't awakened yet. ***The world of Aerthrial is steeped in mana, spirit beasts, and ancient legacies. Power is everything—measured in Ranks (F to SSS). Guilds protect the world, magic academies train the elite, and the strongest become Archons—those who command dragons, bend space, or rewrite fate. No one has ever possessed an SSS Rank System. Until now.*** **** Main Character: Name: Kael Ardyn Age: 15 (at start) Background: Orphan, magicless, often bullied. His sister died protecting him from a beast raid, and he carries her pendant. Core Trait: Empathetic and underestimated—kind but sharp, and he slowly gains tactical brilliance. Goal: Become strong enough to change the broken world that scorned the weak. System Core Mechanics: SSS Rank System: Grants Kael access to a unique tiered skill tree, beast contracts, evolution paths, and system quests. Has both active abilities (combat) and passive blessings (intuition, mana growth). As Kael emotionally evolves, the System itself evolves, gaining sentience over time.
