[Location: Azure Hollow Downtown, Sector VI-B.
Time: Morning | Weather: Light Rainfall | Environment: Urban Cyber-Nostalgic
The low rumble of distant hovercars echoed like thunder in a glass canyon. Rain pattered gently against the wide-panel window of the high-rise hotel, streaking liquid light across tinted chrome walls.
Outside, Azure Hollow stirred beneath, a curtain of blue mist and early sky static. Neon veins blinked quietly across curved skyscrapers, while mechanical koi flickered in data streams near the edge of virtual billboards.
But within the room. There was stillness
Ashborn lay stretched on the wide hex-mesh hotel bed, bare-chested, muscles relaxed, arms folded behind his head. His breath rose and fell in slow rhythm, the faint silver lines of Genesis Thread circuits on his collarbone softly pulsing with dormant light.
He wore only his Wraith MK1 pants, stitched with micro-rune carbon-thread, loose across the hips but reinforced at the knees and ankles. Dull rain light reflected off the metal loops on the side.
On top of his chest, Lunavelle slept curled like a child-shaped comet.
Small, soft, and glowing with the faintest astral sheen, her silver-violet hair splayed out over his skin. Her feathered lashes fluttered lightly. One of her small hands clutched the edge of his shoulders like it was the safari place in the multiverse.
Her breathing was soft.
Occasionally, a quiet little "purrr" escaped her, like a sugar-drunken kitten.
Ashborn blinked once.
Then again slowly.
He was awake, but not fully.
Still lost somewhere between lucid awareness and lingering dream-memory from the night before.
"...Tides at night..."
He murmured absently.
His lavender-star eyes scanned the rain-soaked skyline beyond the window. He could feel his system core syncing naturally. No enemies nearby. No alarms. No threats.
And yet-
There was pressure.
Faint. Emotional. Distant.
Like someone had cried his name in a different dream but the sound hadn't reached in time.
He slowly reached down and brushed his fingers through Lunavelle's stable this morning likely calmed from the star sugar feast they'd indulged in the night before.
"We ate way too many..."
He chuckled softly to himself, remembering the absurd tower of crystal-powdered pastries they'd devoured in the rain.
Then suddenly--
His system pulsed.
A ripple. Barely a whisper. No danger.
But familiar.
A name surfaced in his memory not from this life.
"Shiro...hana?"
He didn't know why it came.
Didn't know where it came from.
But the moment it did. His Genesis Thread coiled tighter around his wrist and let out a subtle whimper-chime of sympathetic resonance.
"...Huh."
Ashborn's brow furrowed.
"That's new."
He exhaled, deep and slow, eyes still locked on the clouds, dancing in blue-gray motion beyond the glass.
"Someone's thinking about me."
"Or remembering."
He didn't realize it yet but far above, inside the spiritual lattice of Axis-E110's sky, a faint, unsent blessing shard, one left behind by his former mortal self, was beginning to hum.
And so was Shirohana's name, buried beneath six layers of firewall and emotional encryption.
Ashborn blinked once more.
Then he smiled faintly.
"Another day. Another thread."
He looked down at Lunavelle still peacefully asleep on his chest.
"...and probably more sugar."
He closed his eyes once more.

[Location: Azure Hollow Downtown - Skyglass Sector, High-Tower Hotel.
Weather: Rainfall over a bright gray skyline.
Time: 7:42 AM | Status: Safe]
Rain kissed the windows. A soft rhythm tapped against the glass walls of the high-rise hotel room, blurring the city beyond into abstract lights and melting geometry. Azure Hollow shimmered behind silver vapor curtains.
Inside, the room was quiet except for the occasional rise and fall of gentle breathing.
On the bed, sprawled over futuristic silk mesh and tangled blankets, was Ashborn Lionheart, cosmic in frame, sleek in shadowlight. His form rested lazily on the edge of dream and wakefulness, shirtless,
Curled peacefully atop his bare chest was Lunavelle, her small glowing form wrapped in faint dream-threads. She clung to him like a moon tethered to a sleeping star, tiny fingers pressed lightly to his shoulder as she purred in her sleep.
Ashborn blinked slowly.
His lavender eyes adjusted to the light filtering through the rain. The flickering neon hues outside cast soft washes of color across his bare torso, violet one moment, then ghost-blue the next.
He inhaled deeply.
"Waket wakey, eggs and bakey,"
He murmured with a lazy grin, poking Lunavelle's cheek twice.
She twitched.
Purred louder.
And remained deeply asleep, lost in dreams of sugar stars and astral syrup waterfalls.
Ashborn snorted softly, amused.
"Fine, you can stay asleep,"
He said while slipping gently out from under her, adjusting a pillow in his place so she wouldn't stir.
"I'll take a shower."
---
The bathroom was silent.
Soft hex-tiles glowed with faint white light, mist sensors automatically adjusting temperature to preference as Ashborn stepped in.
The moment the first drop of water struck his shoulder, his system flickered alive.
A faint chime. A pulse.
His Dream Core had awakened with the sunrise.
[System Alert: New Core Integration Complete]
[Dream Core - True Seed: Fully Integrated]
Status: Stabilized.
Thread Affinity: [Genesis Thread: Echo-Loom Spiral - Linked]
Ashborn exhaled under the water, head tilted back, steam rolling off his skin like vapor trails from collapsed stars.
"Let's see what you've got..."
[Dream Core Features Unlocked:]
• Access: [Dream Logic Override Zones.]
Ashborn can now create small "Dream Realms" in localized areas where dream logic dictates outcomes instead of physics.
Example: In one zone, fear becomes gravity. In another, memory may determine time flow.
• Rewrite: [Cause-effect Chains (Localized)
In battle, Ashborn may override logical progression for one event.
Example: "If the enemy parries, they drop their weapon instead of countering."
Requires focus + thematic alignment.
• Merge: [Combat Actions With Dream Symbols]
Ashborn may now attach "meaning" to attacks.
Example: "Pierce doubt" causes enemies to lose morale on hit. "Burn fear" ignites illusions and courage-linked constructs.
• Reshape: [Battlefield Via Conceptual Theming]
Battlefields may now manifest symbolically (e.g., fighting inside a giant broken clock to signify fractured time or on a burning book to signify knowledge loss).
• Influence: [Lesser Dream Entities]
[Dream-formed creatures (Nightmares, Eidolons, Dream-Reavers) may now be calmer. Redirected, or commanded via subconscious assertion or spoken word.
Charisma and Dream Logic Aptitude affect the success rate.
Ashborn a hand down his face, water dripping from his jawline. The glow of the shower lights danced against his horns and curls,
"So... this is what it means to wield a Core with Author Layer access."
"I'm no longer just reading the story."
"I'm writing it."
He looked down at his hands
Threads of light coiled around his fingers, Genesis Threads filaments infused with dream-tether energy, as if reacting to his thoughts.
"'Cut silence. Pierce grief. Burn betrayal.'"
He whispered aloud, and the thread twisted eagerly.
The system responded instantly, as if it had been waiting for him to say those things.
Ashborn smiled.
Not cruelly. Not proudly.
Just...
"Heh. We're finally getting somewhere."
Shower complete, he stepped out, wiping the steam from the mirror. His reflection stared back-
Powerful. Controlled. Yet still not whole.
He ran one glowed hand through his wild curls, half soaked, half steaming, and took a breath.

[Cosmic Core: Stage I – Genesis Spiral Node]
The once-stable crystalline orb now pulsates with layered dimensional threads—its orbiting rings of primal energy are now braided, rotating with chaotic harmony. Central light flares between white, silver, and violet. A halo of mythic script spirals slowly, unreadable except during Astral Sync. The Cosmic Core has undergone partial evolution due to tower resonance and Sync progression.
Capabilities:
[Absorb Cosmic Radiation]
Can continuously gather ambient cosmic or stellar energy, converting it into stabilized usable energy without external catalysts.
[Shape and Create Matter]
Through the four-step method (Gather → Shape → Energize → Imbue), you can craft raw materials, weapons, armor, tools, and constructs out of cosmic particles.
[Core Infusion]
Can store created matter into the core and re-summon at will, acting as a spatial inventory.
[Cosmic Pulse Scan]
Allows limited scanning of the surrounding environment using pulse echoes; capable of detecting nearby entities, energy signatures, and spatial distortions.
[Genesis Thread Link]
Direct connection to Ashborn's origin potential; acts as a limiter and catalyst depending on emotional stability and resonance level.
[Core Amplification]
Enhances Ashborn's base powers, granting multiplicative returns when casting, fighting, or evolving abilities.
[Cosmic Spellcasting]
Enables unique spell formations derived from raw intent, emotion, and conceptual logic rather than traditional incantations.
[Reality-Weaving]
Ashborn can now create or rewrite localized physics within short radii (e.g., increasing gravity, reversing inertia, rewriting momentum flow).
[Overdrive Mode]
Under extreme duress, the core can enter an Overdrive state, drastically enhancing all stats, but at high strain cost.
[Soul Sync]
The core evolves as Ashborn does—it is not static, and will gain new functions as he grows.
[Cosmic Core: Evolution Stage II – Harmonic Prism Nexus]
Visual Description:
The Cosmic Core has split into twin orbs spiraling around a lattice of floating rings—each ring embedded with shimmering symbols of death, rebirth, genesis, truth, and freedom. It vibrates with harmonic frequencies that cause nearby ambient mana to shimmer.
New Capabilities Added:
[Harmonic Duality Engine]
Core now passively harmonizes conflicting energy types, allowing Ashborn to wield paradoxical magic (e.g., Light + Entropy).
[Resonant Matter Expansion]
Can now generate macro-scale constructs like floating fortresses or shifting weapon arrays.
[Genesis Resonance Upgrade]
Now functions as both limiter and amplifier. Can delay death, slow time in Ashborn's favor, and invoke temporary stasis bursts.
[Memory Sigil Upgrade]
Stores not only movements, but moments — emotional spikes, trauma reactions, and pure killing intent can now be replayed and imbued into attacks.
[Core Amplification Level 2]
Buffed multiplicative returns. Passive amplification of stats, particularly MP and SP by 2.5x when fully focused.
[Cosmic Core – Evolution Stage III: Paradox Crown Engine]
Visual Description: The twin cores now encircle a central third node—dark, reflective, and rippling with unstable gravitational arcs. Micro black holes orbit the structure, occasionally flaring with violet radiance. A constant symphonic hum of collapsing realities echoes nearby. The core now interfaces with collapsed dreamscapes and logicless realities.
Capabilities:
[Null-Crown Lens Interface]
Ashborn may now temporarily interpret nonsense dream logic as cosmic law.
Effects include:
Turning metaphorical phrases into real attacks (e.g., "Cutting through doubt" becomes a mind-cleaving slash)
Manipulating symbolic actions: stepping forward in a dream might become a spatial warp
Limitation: Costs a high toll of sanity and narrative coherence
[Crown of Infinite Ifs]
Ashborn may select a singular "What If" scenario (e.g., "What if the enemy never cast that spell?") and apply it once per battle. Overwrites one event in local combat history.
Cooldown: 12 minutes
[Graviton Reversal Lattice]
Enables the complete inversion of gravitational forces within a radius. Can crush flying enemies or neutralize aerial spell arrays.
[Singularity Net Field]
Deploys dozens of micro-singularities across a field, slowing or trapping even fast-moving cosmic-tier opponents.
[Mythoscape Convergence: Void Harmonics]
Merges existing matter-reality with collapsed possibility layers. Causes partial myth-logic instability in the affected zone (enemy skills may fail)
[Astral Cocoon Shift (Auto-Trigger)]
On near-death, triggers a temporary phase cocoon that freezes Ashborn's state in spacetime for 3 seconds. Works once every 12 hours.
Cosmic Thread Evolution:
[Genesis Thread: Active – Pulse Weaving Mode]
[Genesis Thread: Phase Two – Living Loom]
Ashborn can now thread his life energy into weapons, allies, or environments, creating temporary sentient constructs or enhancing them.
[GENESIS THREAD EVOLUTION – PHASE III: Soul-Weave Stage]
Threads now sync to Ashborn's state of mind, shifting combat modes based on emotions:
[Rage Thread] Prioritizes offense, boosts Strength and Speed,
[Resolve Thread] Fortifies Durability and MP regen,
[Void Thread] Adds auto-evasion chance and time lag to movement,
He can now link threads to multiple constructs or allies at once—max of 3 live links.
[Genesis Thread Upgrade – Phase IV: Echo-Loom Spiral]
The Genesis Thread is now partially alive—responding to abstract stimuli and narrative-based causality.
[Echo-Loom Spiral] Threads now imprint "storyweight" from past moments, (e.g., desperation, hope, betrayal) and bind that meaning into real-time buffs.
[Narrative Drift Trigger] When Ashborn invokes strong will or emotion, Genesis Threads may spontaneously adapt to a fitting legendary move.
Thread Split Limit: 6 active threads
[Divine Thread Imprint] Can now record and re-weave the divine structure of a spell or ability once seen.
Example: He can mimic a divine spear's kinetic spin just by remembering how it felt during impact.
Active Powers:
[Cosmic Power - Enhanced]
A vast ability allowing manipulation of the fundamental forces of reality—energy, matter, and time. Grants supreme perception, near-unbreakable barriers, and devastating combat capability. Ashborn's very presence is a beacon—and a threat—to cosmic beings. Now includes Mythic Binding Protocols — forcibly seals lesser cosmic-tier opponents into fragment states.
[Cosmic Energy Absorption - Upgraded] Absorbs ambient cosmic energy and converts it into personal power. Strength is theoretically limitless, depending on environmental density and Ashborn's willpower. Automatically converts lethal energy attacks into usable SP or MP during combat. Now functions while unconscious.
[Cosmic Energy Manipulation – Upgraded] Channels cosmic forces to enhance physical stats, unleash high-scale energy blasts, generate barriers, and fly unaided through space or atmospheric pressure. Cosmic Flight improved. Can now warp spatial vectors and redirect force.
[Cosmic Fusion – Upgraded]
Fuses abilities and elemental sources into hybrid techniques of immense potency. Capable of creating unheard-of combinations (e.g., supernova-black hole fusion strikes or divine-spirit healing constructs). Now includes "Mythoscape Threads" for fusing lore-based logic and metaphysical rules into weapon attacks or spellcraft.
[Cosmic Regenerative Factor – Tier II]
Heals moderate wounds nearly instantly. It can regrow organs or limbs in under a minute. Now immune to poison, corrosion, and entropy decay.

Origin Type: Hand-Forged Cosmic Matter
Bound Creator: Ashborn Lionheart
Class: Proto-Creation Core.
Description:
A primordial shard of artificial matter created from condensed cosmic radiation, shaped by pure will and stabilized through Ashborn Lionheart's cosmic energy. A Genesis Fragment is a seed of creation—a raw, untamed spark of the universe's foundation. Each Genesis Fragment contains quantum-crystalline threads and proto-elements that predate time itself. Its creation is considered a paradoxical feat, achievable only by a being with direct access to the universe's source code.
Abilities & Properties:

Uses partial Nephilim Breath Core,
Emits a spiraling blue-white fire that now bypasses time rewinds and burns karma lines of enemy fate.
Internal draconic spark begins burning through spacetime and narrative structure.
Breath attack now imbued with Chrono-Fire: burns away scripted fate and timeline inertia.
Temporarily cancels cause/effect chains around a target's abilities (e.g., cancels combo chaining)
[Mythoscape Flux - Phase I: Storyweaver Field Initiation]
Mythoscape Flux is now stabilizing under Echo Logic Protocols
[Ruinforce Bias Unlocked] Chaos, betrayal, failure, and pain now fuel Ashborn's Void Ruin Threads.
[Radiantforce Harmony Unlocked] Love, honor, perseverance now enhance Mythos Radiance Threads.

Length: 5'9
Weight: Variable (linked to user's Cosmic Pulse)
Bound Wielder: Ashborn Lionheart
Description:
Aetherion is the first weapon forged from a Genesis Fragment. It is not merely a sword—it is a statement of existence. Each swing carries the potential to destabilize or affirm the structure of reality it touches. Aetherion doesn't cut materials—it cleaves through the intended state of things.
Abilities:
[Harmonic Feedback Layer]
Every third strike releases a low-frequency pulse that disrupts enemy mana flow and reduces cooldowns on Ashborn's skills by 2 seconds.
[Reality Shear – Surge State]
Now ignores planar shielding and incorporeal states. If used during a Genesis Surge, the cut may erase the target's recent temporal progression (reverses the last 5 seconds of their combat actions).
Cooldown: 60 seconds
[Cosmic Trace – Refined]
Now bypasses defensive enchantments with each stack. Three stacks cause a magical backfire (brief explosion of their spell energy).
Stacks up to 3 times on a single target.
[Transcendental Shift] — Aetherion can shift forms mid-combat: blade, bow, staff, or spear. The transition consumes a portion of Ashborn's cosmic energy.
Switch delay: 3 seconds
[Memory Sigil] — Stores one powerful strike in the blade's memory. It can be recharged at full power after 30 seconds of charging.
Limit: Once per combat scene
[2nd Memory Sigil Slot – Upgraded]
Effect: Embed a second Echo Memory into your status. You may now have two constant passive modifications or loadouts live.
Bonus: Sigils can now interact dynamically under cosmic interference. Now can hold conditional-triggered finishers (e.g., if HP < 20%, unleash 'Spiral Collapse Barrage')
[Conceptual Overdrive Mode]
Allows Aetherion to hijack the abstract concept of an opponent's ability and rewrite it.
Limited by Power Difference, Energy Cost, and Conceptual Clarity.
Trigger Word: "Overdrive: Rewrite Mode Engage"
Cooldown: 6 minutes after overload.
Visual Shift: Gains triple-blade fractal aura
Active Combat Skills:
[Sonar Compression Field]
Pulse dome that slows projectiles and obscures echolocation. 40 MP. 45s CD.
[Void Thread Lunge – Omega Form (Unlocked Floor 7)]
Dash attack using Genesis matter. Ignores 30% of armor. And Now leaves behind a temporal echo of Ashborn that performs a delayed mimic attack.
Enhanced: Lunge now bypasses space altogether. Adds "Void Implosion": Each strike pulls enemies toward an after-image vortex dealing 20% bonus temporal damage. Cost: 35 SP | CD: 25s
[Radiant Sever (Unlocked Floor 9 Elite) (Enhanced)]
Aetherion erupts with condensed light after a 2-strike combo, burning a clean line forward. And when used with the Echo Core active, the charged line cleave creates a fracture zone that distorts time inside it.
CD: 30s | Bonus: Temporarily nullifies passive regeneration in targets
[Twin Reality Convergence Slash – Final Delay Variant]
Unlock Condition Met: Dual-Wield Mastery + Echo Forge + Genesis Thread Phase II
Description: A blade strike that occurs in both realities at once—current and delayed.
Effect: First strike hits physically.
The second strike is delayed in the timeline and attacks where the enemy would dodge.
Greatly increases lethality against Phase-Shifted foes or Time-Users. Now chains into a third phantom strike if the enemy dodges both previous attacks. The third strike targets "possible future evasion paths".
[Astral Spiral – Echo Unleashed: Gravity Bloom Variant]
Now ends with an imploding gravitational flower burst that locks teleportation for 10 seconds in its zone.
Cost: 20 MP, | CD: 30s
TRAITS
[Cosmic Stigmata – "Dragon of True Transcendence" Expanded Effect]
A sigil of authority among high multiversal entities.
Immunity: Low-tier reality-bending attacks have no effect.
Presence Effect: Divine beings respond with awe or fear.
[Dream Logic Immunity] Illogical enemy abilities have reduced success vs Ashborn, as his Mythoscape adapts to absurdities.
[Stellar Rebirth (Passive)]
Death is not the end. Upon fatal damage, the body enters a 72-hour stasis cocoon and rebuilds. Permanent death is only possible by Eternal-Level annihilation.
[Damage Delay (Advanced)]
Up to 3 staggered damage instances can be ignored completely if a counteraction is made within the delay window.
[Unstable Genesis Surge (Refined)]
Now grants a temporary Echoform Clone upon triggering—an illusion that mimics Ashborn's last 3 actions for 5 seconds.
[Madness Pulse - resistance (Floor 3 boss): (Boosted)]
35% sanity loss reduction from auditory/eldritch stimuli.
Genesis Resonance]
When fighting in areas with high ambient Genesis Radiation (like boss arenas), Aetherion gains a 10% all-stats boost and increased skill amplification.
[Singularity Edge Immunity (Partial)]
Gained from a direct clash with Eclipse Titan's beam cannon. Ashborn's body now resists attacks meant to tear dimensional seams, unless the source is Primordial or higher.

Ashborn sat on the bed, towel draped around his shoulders, as Lunavelle slowly stirred in his lap. Her tiny fingers curled at the edges of his pants as she sleepily whispered:
"Mhmm... more sugar stars, ash..."
He smiled gently, brushing a strand of astral pluff from her cheek.
"Dream Core's fully active now. Aetherion's ready for a new form."
He looked out the window once more, his star-shaped eyes pulsing in rhythm with his Thread.
