OF MUD AND EMBERS

​"Offer me the warmth in your chest, and I will give you the absolute strength to transcend them all."​In a trench ripped straight from a dark age, bathed in the grim light of an eclipse, a desperate warrior makes a fatal bargain. To survive an insurmountable demonic army, he trades his humanity for the unfeeling, invincible power of Glacial Iron.​He becomes a force of mechanical inevitability—incapable of fear, incapable of anger, and utterly devoid of empathy. To him, the living are meaningless, and a corpse is nothing more than a mud stain on the ground.​But the mind cannot sustain a lie forever.​As his reality begins to warp, shatter, and glitch around him, the warrior is dragged into a fracturing, psychological hellscape of his own making. Haunted by the phantoms of his past, he must face his own subconscious guilt before the void completely devours his mind.​A psychological dark fantasy subversion exploring trauma, guilt, and the crushing weight of being human.
