Forgotten Embers

A mine slave wakes up to find the character for “seal” carved into his bones.

One punch sends a Condensed Essence-level mine boss flying.

Three hundred years ago, his father stole a drop of blood from the Divine Ruins, hoping to stop the God-Sealing Array from devouring the mortal world. He failed, and nailed himself to the last God-Sealing Nail in the Abyss of the Buried Gods.

Now that drop of blood has passed to his son.

But the blood comes at a price:

Every time he uses it, he forgets someone.

First words, then days, then names, and finally faces.

He has to save his father. But with every step toward saving him, he loses another piece of his memory.

Ashes of Oblivion: How can someone who keeps losing every memory save someone everyone else has forgotten?
