Regression Syndrome is a long-form serialized fantasy novel about fate, obsession, and defiance against powers no mortal should challenge. It follows Elias Troum, a boy trapped within an endless cycle of rebirth known as Dreams. Every time he dies, he regresses in age, waking up years earlier, while retaining the memories of his past lives.
Each Dream is a world shaped by cruel gods and an unseen system, designed to test, torment, and ultimately break him. Yet, Elias refuses to yield. Driven by the losses he's suffered and the burning desire to uncover the truth, he sets out to defy the rules of the world itself.
Major Themes:
Regression and time loops

This is a story about a boy forced to confront the same grief over and over, slowly unraveling as the line between man and monster blurs. Regression Syndrome is not about being the chosen one, it's about being the one who was never meant to survive.
