Ashes of Meaning
In the alternate world of Nyoroa, where shadowy powers lurk beneath the surface of society, reality is layered with meaning — both seen and unseen. Most people live unaware of the supernatural forces that govern the balance of life, but some, like Kye, are marked by fate — or perhaps, by something deeper.
Kye, a reserved and brilliant student, often feels disconnected from the world. Beneath his calm exterior is a storm of unspoken thoughts and dormant potential. When a school hiking trip takes a strange turn, Kye finds himself pulled into a vivid dream that feels all too real — a fully-equipped camp where classmates and teachers behave just a little too perfectly. But something is wrong. Subtle slip-ups grow into terrifying truths: he is being hunted… by the very people he trusted.
Trapped in this dream world governed by surreal rules and conceptual physics — where ideas like force, time, fear, and will have literal consequences — Kye must survive a deadly manhunt that challenges not just his body, but his sanity. Escape requires more than logic. It requires change.
When the dream forces him to kill a friend in a desperate escape attempt, Kye awakens into a world that will never feel the same. The event leaves behind a scar… and awakens a Daemon within him — a supernatural embodiment of the Concept of Latency, a force that governs potential, delay, and hidden strength. His daemon’s presence grants him power, but also responsibility — and the constant threat of becoming a Void, a rogue being who abandons their concept.
Haunted by visions and pursued by those who sense his awakening, Kye is thrust into the hidden underworld of Nyoroa — a place where corrupted officials, criminal empires, and forgotten daemons vie for power using a secret underground currency, invisible to the rest of the world.
As Kye struggles with morality, identity, and the cost of survival, he must uncover what meaning lies buried beneath his actions. In a world where everything has a price — even your soul — how much of yourself are you willing to burn to find out who you are?
