A shadow has fallen over the celestial order, a gaping maw threatening to consume the very stars. The Architect, burdened by a destiny he never chose, is the only key to sealing the growing darkness. But his power comes at a terrible cost: a connection to the void itself, slowly turning his light into the very thing he must fight.

Meanwhile, The Empath lives in a fractured world, her existence a fragile echo of a love she can't remember. When their paths collide, their forgotten bond reignites, proving to be the universe's last defense. Yet, their reunion is perilous.

To save everything, they must chase the void and embrace the annihilation it promises—a choice that could destroy their world or tear their souls apart forever.
