Synopsis
In the 22nd century, Earth is a memory, erased by the Infestation—an alien reality that rewrites physics and spawns legions of monstrous WIL-resonant Legions. Humanity’s last sanctuary is a single, domed supercontinent on Mars: Aresia. Governed by the Silent Council, a martial synthesis of Earth’s last surviving powers, Aresia survives by one brutal rule: all Resonants—humans who can impose their Inner World’s laws upon reality—must be weaponized or eliminated. Control is survival. Loss of control is met with Eclipse Protocol, administered by sanctioned executioners. Into this desperate world is born Avenger, a 15-year-old orphan whose awakening defies all understanding. In a final, loving instinct to protect his family during a catastrophic rock slide, his soul did not resonate with a simple concept. It reached for the absolute preservation of a perfect moment—and in doing so, accidentally touched the fundamental cosmic cycle of creation and annihilation. His Inner World, [The Unbinding Core], is a paradox of memory and negation. A sun-drenched island of preserved happiness floats in a void, under a perpetual, beautiful rain of antimatter. Each drop that falls annihilates a piece of the void in a flash of violet light, a silent cycle of creation-through-destruction. Avenger’s power is [Antimatter Generation/Manipulation], not born from hatred, but from a love so desperate it sought to unmake any threat to what it cherished. Classified S-Class (Singularity), Avenger is seen by the Silent Council as the ultimate dilemma: a catastrophic power of pure negation wielded by a psyche oriented toward preservation. He is placed under the tutelage of their most feared instrument: Executor Kaelen, an A-Class Resonant of [Decay]. Kaelen, whose power is the slow, certain unraveling of all things, is tasked with teaching the boy who controls instant, total un-creation. Their relationship is a brutal philosophical war: the teacher of controlled erosion versus the student of perfect annihilation. As Avenger struggles with a power that literally destroys what it touches—and the guilt of having already used it to erase the ones he loved—Aresia faces a new threat. The Infestation is adapting to Mars. "Ghost Fluxes"—subtle, spreading zones of alien reality—begin to appear, challenging the dome's integrity and breeding new, stranger Legions. Within the Silent Council, factions fracture. "The Preservationists" believe Avenger’s power can be refined into a surgical tool to permanently annihilate Infestation Cores, seeing in his inner world’s "preserved island" a symbol of hope. "The Eradicators" see only the "antimatter rain"—a power that could unmoor reality itself—and argue for pre-emptive Eclipse before he becomes a threat greater than the alien invasion. Avenger’s journey is a climb from trauma toward transcendent precision. He must learn to wield the power of total annihilation not as a blunt force, but as a sculptor’s chisel—to erase a single diseased cell, to cancel the momentum of a falling starship, to become the guardian who protects by selectively destroying. Kaelen, in turn, must confront whether his philosophy of control-through-fear can chain a force that unmakes all chains, or if he must learn a harder lesson: how to mentor a living supernova. On a red planet under a glass sky, a boy who holds a beautiful, annihilating world inside him and an executioner who masters decay must answer: In a universe where to create is to eventually destroy, can the power to annihilate everything become the ultimate means to preserve what remains? This is the story of The Unbinding Core.

Chapter 1 - CHAPTER 0: THE WORLD'S INTEGRATION LINK (WIL) & YOU

Primary Orientation Dossier of Bastion Academy for Ontological Stability. Classification: COSMIC EYE ONLY. Breach is punishable by Eclipse Protocol.

PREAMBLE: THE LIE YOU LIVE IN

You are here because the world is sick. The reality you know—the stable ground, the constant sun, the predictable decay of all things—is not the fundamental truth. It is a Consensus, a fragile treaty written in the laws of physics, held firm against an endless, whispering chaos.

You have heard the whisper. In a moment of absolute terror, transcendent love, or bottomless despair, your consciousness brushed against the framework of existence itself—the World's Integration Link (WIL). You have resonated with a fragment of the primordial truth, and a shard of that truth has crystallized within you.

You are no longer just human. You are a Resonant.

This document is your first and most vital lesson. It will not teach you to be a hero. It will teach you the rules that stop you from becoming a catastrophe. Your survival, and the survival of our Consensus, depends on your understanding.

Memorize it.

PART I: THE NATURE OF POWER – CORE CONCEPT & INNER WORLD

1.1 The Resonance & Awakening

The WIL is the substrate of all that is,was, or could be. It is a weave of pure Concepts: Time, Force, Decay, Love, Annihilation. Most humans are deaf to it. A Resonant is born when a human psyche, under extreme duress, performs an Integration, attuning irrevocably to a single Concept.

This becomes your Core Concept. It is the foundational law of your private reality.

1.2 The Inner World

Your Core Concept defines yourInner World—a metaphysical domain within your consciousness where your personal law reigns absolute. A Resonant of [Heat] has a world of perpetual fusion. A Resonant of [Silence] has a world of perfect, null sound.

The Bastion Axiom: Our stable, shared Consensus Reality is believed to be the Inner World of a Prime Resonant, whose Core Concept is [Fundamental Law] or [Order], made manifest and permanent. We live inside a miracle that has forgotten it is one.

1.3 Manifestation

To use your power is to performManifestation: the act of forcefully overwriting a piece of Consensus Reality with the law of your Inner World. You do not cast spells. You impose your truth upon a universe that resists.

---

PART II: THE DUAL AXES – CLASS (DEPTH) VS. GRADE (BREADTH)

Your threat and potential are measured on two independent axes.

Inner World Class (The Innate Depth) Personal Power Grade (The Cultivated Breadth)

The nature of your reality. Immutable. The mastery of your reality. Grown through will.

Answers: "How fundamental is your law?" Answers: "How much reality can you force to obey?"

2.1 Inner World Class

Class Designation Definition Example

D Phenomenal Alters a single, simple property. [Rust]: Can only affect oxidation of ferrous metals.

C Manifold Alters a group of related properties. [Combustion]: Controls flame, heat, ignition.

B Fundamental Alters a broad, fundamental force. [Kinetics]: Manipulates motion, momentum, inertia.

A Architect Alters a core, existential concept. Has a HARD CEILING. [Decay]: Enforces entropic dissolution of all ordered structures.

S Singleton Alters existential pillars. NO OBSERVED CEILING. [Annihilation]: Deletes matter/energy from Consensus.

2.2 Personal Power Grade

Grade Destructive Scale Area of Influence

5 (Adept) Building to City Block 10m - 100m

4 (Vanguard) Multiple Blocks to Town 100m - 1km

3 (Titan) Small Country 10km - 100km

2 (Sovereign) Continent Continental

1 (World-Forger) Planet to Star Planetary

Special (Cosmic) Galaxy Solar System+

2.3 The Critical Interaction

· A Grade 1, D-Class [Rust] Resonant can rust a planet's core to dust.

· A Grade 1, A-Class [Decay] Resonant can decay a planet to dust.

· A Grade 1, S-Class [Annihilation] Resonant can delete a planet from existence.

The results seem similar. The ontological depth of the effect is incomparable.

Executor's Margin Note: "This is Subject Sigma's paradox. Current Grade: 5 (Adept). Inner World Class: S (Singularly). He holds a universe-ending truth in a thimble. Our mission is not to enlarge the thimble, but to forge it into unbreakable steel before the truth spills."

PART III: UNIVERSAL DISCIPLINES – THE TOOLS OF WAR

All Resonants can learn these fundamental applications of WIL.

· Enhancement/Weakening: Infusing WIL to amplify or suppress innate properties (e.g., a sword's sharpness, your body's regeneration). The foundation of combat.

· Neutral Force: Creating a damping field that raises the cost of Manifestation for others. A pure power drain, vital for defense and containment.

· Rejection: Emitting a counter-frequency WIL pulse to negate an incoming Manifestation. High risk, high skill. The ultimate parry.

· Cosmic Sense: Perceiving the layers of reality—energy, WIL flow, intent, and the "shape" of Core Concepts. The Executor's gaze uses this.

---

PART IV: GRAND-LEVEL ABILITIES – THE DIVINE PROTOCOLS

Techniques that redefine the self and bargain with reality.

· Maximum Technique: Forcibly Enhancing one's own Inner World to temporarily raise its Class by one rank. Cost: Catastrophic backlash, potential Grade regression, and conceptual "cracking" of one's power.

· Binding Vows: A metaphysical contract with reality. You set the Rule and Demand. Reality sets the Price and Duration. Breaking a Vow results in absolute, unavoidable, often ironic cosmic enforcement.

· Inner Gates Manifest: The Resonant becomes a Gate for their Inner World to invade and subjugate Consensus Reality within their Area of Influence. Grants invincible status and autonomous, endless attack on all un-subjugated targets. Ultimate cost: The erasure of the self.

Executor's Margin Note (Redacted): "Sigma's potential for these is our greatest fear. A Vow born of his guilt could chain him—or break the world. His Inner Gates, if opened, would not create a zone. It would create a spreading Nothing. He is the final weapon we dare not fire, and the final hope we cannot discard."

PART V: THE WAR – THE INFESTATION

This is not theory. This is the war we are in.

5.1 The Phenomenon

AForeign WIL—an alien pattern of laws—is breaching our dimension, creating Reality Ruptures. These form Infected Zones where local physics are overwritten by hostile, alien laws.

5.2 The Legions

The Infestation's immune response.Twisted lifeforms born of the alien WIL. They possess a corrupted mirror of our Class/Grade system. Their directives:

1. Destroy all unassimilated life.

2. Protect the Infestation Core (the heart of the Rupture) at all costs.

5.3 Our Purpose

The Bastion is not a school.It is a surgical corps for reality. Resonants are deployed into Infected Zones to fight through Legions and destroy the Core. Failure means the Zone expands, generating stronger, more numerous Legions exponentially.

This is why you exist. This is why we tolerate the danger you represent. To fight monsters that warp reality, we need monsters of our own. Your power is a curse that might be the only cure.

CLOSING DIRECTIVE & PROTOCOL ECLIPSE( TO ALL PERSONNEL & STUDENTS)

You are a sovereign of a private reality living as a guest in a shared, besieged one. Your training is a treaty negotiation between your world and ours.

Remember Protocol Eclipse: When a Resonant's Manifestation threatens irreversible damage to the Consensus fabric, all diplomacy ends. A Designated Executor—an Grade 2 or higher Resonator bound by Oath—will be deployed to neutralize the threat. Permanently.

You are a question posed to existence. We are here to help you formulate an answer that does not mean the end of all questions.

Welcome to the Bastion.

Welcome to the war for reality.

CHARACTER DESIGN: "AVENGER" - THE CARETAKER'S ANNIHILATION

I. CORE IDENTITY: THE CONTRADICTION

· Chosen Name: "Avenger" (Named for the military unit "Vengeance" that saved him from an Infested zone as a child. To him, the name means "One Who corrects the Wrongs.")

· Age: 15

· Origin: Unknown. A lone child found in the aftermath of a contained Infestation at a military rescue zone, unharmed but with no memory. Raised in a private orphanage.

· Pre-Awakening Personality: Reports show he was a natural harmonizer. He soothed conflicts at the orphanage, led dance sessions to lift spirits, and used his MMA prowess defensively—to break up fights, not start them. His intelligence was emotional and kinetic and system thinking ; he understood people and movement instinctively. The scholarship was for engineering and public admin —a desire to build and maintain structures. His core drive was always preservation.

II. THE PHYSICAL & METAPHYSICAL

· Build & Demeanor:Cruiserweight with a Mesomorph physique 5.11ft

. Post-awakening, there's a palpable heaviness to his stillness. His eyes, once bright during a dancing with friends, now hold a deep, quiet horror. When his power accidentally manifests, the air around him crackles with silent, violet particles before a point of perfect darkness & voilet flash appears.

· The Inner World – [The Preserved Garden & The Annihilating Rain]:

· Manifestation: A beautiful, violet sun-drenched island floating in an endless black ocean—the orphanage, the bus, every happy memory, perfectly preserved.From the void above, a slow, perpetual rain of anti-matter particles falls. Each drop that hits the ocean below causes a silent, miniature cancellation of existence by the flash of violet light. His world mite be following the cycle of creation and destruction. His power awoke from the ultimate, desperate preservation instinct: to make the threat cease to have ever existed.

III. PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: THE GUILTY PRESERVER

· Primary Driver: Paradoxical Guilt. He didn't just kill his friends; he annihilated the very people he was trying to save. His power is the dark, literal interpretation of his wish: to remove the threat so completely it would be as if it never was. The result proved his love was as dangerous as any rock slide.

· Core Fear: His own capacity for care. Every affectionate impulse is now shadowed by the memory of total erasure. He is terrified to love anything again, because his soul's defense mechanism is cosmic deletion.

· Operant Conditioning:

1. Emotional Stifling: He suppresses protective urges most of all. Seeing someone in danger triggers panic, not courage.

2. Hyper-Calculating Mind: His mind now constantly runs equations on a subconscious level. He sees the world in terms of mass, energy equivalents, and cancellation thresholds. A falling cup isn't just a mess; it's "X grams of ceramic requiring Y joules to negate." It's a mental burden that distances him from lived experience.

3. The Burden of Debt: He views his life as a debt he can never repay. The orphanage gave him a family, and he erased them. To him his containment is just; his training is a penance. He will cooperate not out of fear, but from a grim sense of cosmic justice.

IV. POWER MANIFESTATION: THE PRESERVER'S PARADOX

· Current Ability – "Void Touch": He can generate tiny, unstable anti-matter particles at his fingertips, sustained for milliseconds. Contact with matter causes silent, pinpoint annihilations. He has no projection; it is purely touch-based, reflecting his old, close-up world of hugs, high-fives, and martial arts grips. Now, touch is death.

· The Energy Paradox – "The Unstable Core": The annihilation releases energy that feedback-loops into his own system , he has shown high resilience mite be some form of minor energy absorption/ reflection. It doesn't poison him, but causes severe sensory and emotional feedback—he feels the silent scream of the erased matter. Using his power is psychologically traumatic, reinforcing his aversion to it.

· Unconscious Effect – "Negation Field": In his presence, complex systems subtly unravel. Watches run slow, music slightly distorts, delicate mechanisms fail this also effect the biological and physiological system around him, Reports say people have shorter memory when near him, others can see as well or breath etc. It's not an active damping field, but a leakage of anti-consensus reality—his Inner World's "annihilating rain" bleeding through, causing a low-grade cancellation of order.

· The "Echo" Effect – "Cosmic Undoing": In places of violent death or Infestation corruption, his power may react to "undo" the cause, this shows some form of interactionwith the soul and time. This could mean annihilating a lingering curse, a psychic scar, or even the "conceptual weight" of a tragedy. It doesn't heal; it subtracts the harm, leaving a neutral, often eerily empty, space.
