Eternal Edge
Ranol, a 19-year-old orphan drowning in shame and addiction, stumbles through a life of mockery in a gritty, near-future world. When a cosmic rift cracks the sky, spilling mana and monstrous beasts, he’s yanked into the Void—a purple abyss ruled by an eternal entity obsessed with understanding human death. Not chosen by fate, but by accident, Ranol becomes the Void’s experiment, his soul dissected to map the edges of mortality.
Haunted by his past—public humiliation, drug-fueled escapes, the loss of his lover Yuri—Ranol wields the Blade of Void, a reality-slicing katana that cuts flesh, memory, and existence itself. Each swing traps him deeper in a cycle of puppets woven from his own regrets: a father who beat him, a lover whose head dangles in the air. Enter Marge Sword God, a million-year-old celestial warrior, righteous yet resentful, who stumbles into the Void seeking to slay its horrors. Mistaking Ranol for a monster, Marge’s gaze—a storm of invisible swords—tears him to pieces, only for the Void to resurrect him, again and again, each time more mortal, more broken.
