The Echo of Infinite Stars
Eli Voss, a boy born with the power to warp reality, becomes an immortal figure feared and hunted by the world. His abilities are tied to his emotional pain, and each use of his power erodes his humanity. Over centuries, he becomes a myth—a godlike being who can reshape the world but is cursed with eternal loneliness.
Everything changes when he meets Lena Reyes, a woman immune to his powers. For the first time, Eli feels seen and loved. But their love comes at a cost: his immortality begins to unravel, and his touch starts to harm her. When Lena is killed in an attack by a shadowy organization called Eclipse, Eli discovers that love has made him mortal. In a final act of desperation, he rewinds time to save her, sacrificing himself in the process.
The twist? Eli didn’t truly die. Instead, he created a parallel reality where Lena never met him, erasing her memories of their love. He chose to live a mortal life in this new world, free from the burden of his powers and immortality. Lena, unaware of his sacrifice, moves on with her life, carrying only a faint, inexplicable connection to him through a glowing locket.
The story explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the cost of immortality, ending with a bittersweet revelation: Eli’s greatest act wasn’t saving the world—it was choosing to live a simple, human life, even if it meant leaving everything behind.
