Elias Varn was a forensic investigator haunted by a case he could never close, the Mirrormaker, a serial killer who murdered by reflection and vanished without a trace. When Elias pushed a young witness too far and the boy took his own life, guilt consumed him. His career ended in scandal. His life unraveled in silence.

Until the day he woke in a world not his own.

A world of ashen skies, twisted ruins, and entities that shouldn’t exist. Here, spirits, monsters, and demons thrive under a terrifying power system ranked from White (weakest) to Gray (strongest), each tier fractured into nine levels.

Elias is marked as an Echo-Touched, a rare human able to perceive and interact with the deadliest layers of reality. His only clues to survival are a shattered mirror pendant, whispers of a forgotten ritual, and the echo of a child’s scream carried through the fog.

Each horror he faces in this world is not random, but personal. The Mirrormaker is here too. Or something like it. And it remembers him.

To survive, Elias must unravel the mystery behind the Gray Eclipse, a world-ending phenomenon whispered by dying seers. To resist it, he must confront not just monsters, but every version of himself the darkness twists and reflects. For every level of power he gains, something inside him is lost: sanity, memory, and humanity.

But the deeper he climbs through the color-tiered horrors, the more one question becomes clear:

What if the monster that brought him here… was born from him?
