LUMEN DRIFT follows Kairo Vantaris, a lone wanderer in Eclipse City—a neon-lit metropolis adrift between fractured realities. With no memory of his past and a mysterious sigil burned into his hand, Kairo discovers he is a rare “Spectra Sync,” able to manipulate the hidden wavelengths of existence itself. As shifting “Phantom Zones” threaten to unravel the city and monstrous Null Phantoms prey on its inhabitants, Kairo’s powers become both a weapon and a curse. 	
	
Haunted by fragmented visions and pursued by enigmatic Wardens, Kairo is drawn into a conspiracy that reaches beyond the city’s shifting borders. Each battle pushes him deeper into the heart of Eclipse City’s mysteries, forcing him to confront the truth about his lost identity—and the fate of a world where reality itself can drift, fracture, or fade away. 	
	
In a place where memories are as dangerous as monsters, and the light is never quite what it seems, Kairo must master his powers before the last remnants of reality disappear into the void.

Long ago, the realm of Lux Aeterna thrived—a tapestry of crystalline cities and starlit oceans, woven by the dreams of a thousand civilizations. Its heart, the Lumen Core, pulsed with the light of collective memory, binding realities into harmony. Warriors wielded Arcanum; scholars communed with cosmic whispers. It was an age of echoes, where every hope took form.


Then came the Sundering. A hunger from beyond the stars—a void called The Null—cracked the Lumen Core. Realities bled into one another; kingdoms dissolved into mist. Cities tore from their foundations, adrift in a sea of fractured time. Those who survived named this broken epoch "The Drift."


From the chaos rose Eclipse City, a beacon amidst collapsing worlds. Neon arteries pulse through its floating districts, where Final Fantasy's forgotten spires pierce skies stained with Kingdom Hearts' twilight. Here, refugees from fallen realms barter secrets in markets lit by phantom chandeliers. Reality flickers: one street leads to a desert citadel; the next, to a drowned cathedral.


But shadows stir in the Drift. Null Phantoms—scavengers of lost memories—feast on the unraveling light. They twist time into traps, turning hope into hollow echoes. The city's guardians, the Wardens, whisper of a prophecy: only a Spectra Sync, one who walks the edge of existence, can mend the fractures.


And so, our tale begins with Kairo Vantaris.


He opens his eyes to rain-lashed steel, the sigil on his hand burning cold. No past. No name. Only the drift of the city's breath and the gold in his eyes—a mirror to the shattered core. Around him, the Null's whisper:


In his chest, a power stirs—not light, not dark, but the spectrum between. The first memory surfaces: a key, a chain, and a city waiting to fall.


	"In a world built on forgotten dreams, the last light flickers… not in the sky, but in the lost."
