> He died a hero. He returned a weapon.

Aiden Varos, the Archmage of Flame, once stood at the pinnacle of the Empire — until betrayal shattered everything. Condemned by the very Empress he swore to protect, Aiden was executed as the sky burned with the flames of war.

But death is not the end.

Reborn in his eleven-year-old body, twenty-one years before the Empire's collapse, Aiden awakens to a cold, merciless voice.

> [System Activated. Timeline #003 Initiated.]
[New Objective: Rewrite Fate. Survive. Conquer.]
[Penalty for Failure: True Death.]



Armed with the memories of a ruined future and a system bound to time itself, Aiden sets out not to save the Empire—but to reshape it in his image.

Enemies who once stood above him now crawl beneath his feet. Allies he once lost might yet be saved. And in the shadows, a far greater threat begins to stir—one that may demand more than even time can offer.

The clock has reset. The world has forgotten him. But he will remind them.

This time, the flames answer to him.

>"Legacies are not memories. They are ghosts of possibilities—waiting for someone strong enough to remember them into reality."

The Legacy Sync System is a hidden mechanic layered into the Chronoshard interface. It measures the user's attunement to forgotten powers, alternate selves, ancient remnants, and the scars of timelines that never were.


It is not bound to leveling, stats, or skills — but rather to soul resonance, decision alignment, and fate defiance.


Legacy Sync (%) is a direct reflection of how deeply the user has begun to merge with lost threads of power and alternate versions of themselves that exist within the fractured Weave.


> The higher the Sync, the more the System recognizes the user as an anomaly — and a candidate for higher existence.


Interacting with Legacy Sites (e.g., Emberheart Ruins)


Touching Temporal Fragments or Chronoshards


Making fate-breaking decisions (e.g., sparing or killing someone who was fated to die)


Winning Echo Conflicts (internal battles against timeline variants)


Forging unique skills rather than learning prebuilt ones


> Warning: Sync above 60% may destabilize mental structure if user lacks sufficient Willpower or Anchor Traits.


Each Legacy Sync milestone creates rifts in the timeline — points where Aiden's choices begin to create entirely new versions of the world. The Weave tries to resist this change, often violently.


Fixed Events (story points that try to reassert themselves)


Echo Wraiths (fragments of "correct" versions of the world sent to stop him)


Temporal Fatigue (slow decay of the soul from carrying too many identities)


Fate Break: Eliminated Raider Commander Before Capital Slavery Route Triggered


Next Milestone: 25% – Class Revelation (Unique Path)


Recommended Path: Pursue the second Fracture Site OR trigger a major timeline divergence.
