Forsaken Soul in a World Rewritten

— WSA 2025 ENTRY —

The world, born billions of years ago, has been shaped and transformed by humanity's relentless drive for evolution and innovation.

Over the ages, countless myths and legends emerged, igniting belief so powerful it birthed a force akin to creation itself: faith energy. This energy, fueled by humanity's collective consciousness, began to reshape reality in subtle but profound ways.

Guided by a mysterious being, a formless guardian charged with maintaining balance, a plan was set into motion.

Using the collected faith energy, the guardian crafted a new world, a perfect mirror of Earth, and duplicated a fragment of every human soul to inhabit it.

But even the formless one, with all its knowledge, could miscalculate. In a twist of fate, some actual souls, not wisps, were reborn in this parallel realm, leaving their original bodies lifeless.

One such soul belonged to Ariase Ruiz.

On an ordinary evening, as he returned home, a wave of blinding light washed over him. Time stopped for everyone else, yet Ariase alone felt his soul shift, untethered.

When he awoke, he found himself in a world eerily familiar yet unmistakably altered, his body regressed to that of his twelve-year-old self.

Now, Ariase must navigate this rewritten reality, unravel its mystical mysteries, and come to terms with his place in a world that is both his and not his at all.
