The World That Forgot Its Order

The dense fog of late autumn hangs over Forgotten Hometown all year round. Anwu bestows its “blessing,” slowly making everyone forget their pain, their bonds, and their past. Only the orphan Akong is different. Other people’s memories fade and wash away like ink on water-soaked paper. His are engraved in iron. The forces that erode memories, create illusions, or alter perceptions have no effect on him. A pottery shard carved with a moon tears open the lie passed down through generations in the town. Anwu is no blessing, but a cage. Forgotten Hometown is no paradise, but a memory cage that seals away the memories of an entire community. The Memory Erasers seek to wipe away every attachment in the world, ending the suffering of eternal cycles with a blank slate. The Memory Keepers cling to the fragments, unwilling to let the truth vanish forever. When the memories of the entire world can be rewritten at will, his blank memory vessel is the only flaw, and the key capable of resetting the world. Will you sink into false peace, or step into a war of memories and face the truth buried beneath it all?
