Centuries ago, the galaxy thrived under the protective harmony of the Harmonics—guardians who wielded a mystical energy known as the Élan. Through their mastery of this force, they maintained a delicate balance among star systems, quelling conflicts and steering civilization toward an era of prosperity. Yet this peace was shattered by the Dissonants, a corrupted faction that twisted the Élan’s power to enforce their authority by force.

Rein, an immortal boy who has sealed his memories every hundred years, is haunted by a past he cannot remember. His only recollection is the pain of being captured by slavers and sold into a brothel as a sex slave. Now, as a researcher at a prestigious magic academy, Rein is unexpectedly thrust into an expedition with the Hero's party to investigate the Forbidden Forest—a place tied to dark secrets. What Rein doesn’t know is that Emilia, an immortal witch he met hundreds of years ago, has been watching him from the shadows. Their past was one of pain, loss, and unfinished business. Emilia had once saved him from unimaginable torture and had shared a deep connection with him, but when tragedy struck, Rein’s memories were erased, and he forgot everything about her. Now, as the expedition to the Forbidden Forest looms, Emilia is desperate to make Rein remember their past, but Rein has no memory of her, only the lingering pain from his broken life. As Diana, the determined leader of the Hero’s party, works alongside Rein, the two begin to form a connection, though Rein’s past remains locked away. The journey ahead will challenge everything Rein knows about himself, love, and immortality, and the forest may hold the key to unlocking his forgotten memories—and perhaps even the dark forces threatening to resurface.
