Hi! Author here.
This book is my first book. And it is also participating in the competition of 2025 WSA.
I have too many ideas for it, but i couldn't match them with each other. But now I do.
Thank you for reading till now.
But the real story will start from here.
Please support me if you read it. Cause I know you will like it.
Power System Name: "The Eidolon Pact Protocol"
A supernatural contract system accessed through a cursed website, blending digital gateways and ancient spirits.
---
Core Concept:
In a world much like ours, whispers circulate in dark forums, underground chatrooms, and encrypted messages:
"If you ever feel powerless... visit www.EidolonProtocol.net at 3:33 AM."
This mysterious website is rumored to let people form pacts with otherworldly entities—called Eidolons. These entities are souls, monsters, demons, or ancient spirits, each sealed in a digital cage after being banished from reality.
But only a select few—called Chosen Nodes—can access the site and survive the pact.

How the System Works:
1. The Website: EidolonProtocol.net
It appears only during rare cosmic alignments, or under extreme emotional distress.
Accessing it transports the user's consciousness into a digital-liminal realm called the Echo Grid, where bound entities are stored like data fragments.
2. Forming the Pact (The Link)
In the Echo Grid, the person must survive a Trial of Binding with the entity they choose (or who chooses them).
Trials vary wildly—battles, memory manipulation, puzzle-solving, or emotional confrontations.
If successful, a soul link forms, letting the user bring the Eidolon into the physical world.
3. Eidolon Types
Each Eidolon has a unique nature, power class, and evolution path:

The Pact Powers:
Once bonded, the Chosen can unlock the following abilities:
1. Manifestation
Summon the Eidolon into reality. Can fight independently or possess the user for hybrid powers.
2. Link Arts
Fusion techniques where the Eidolon and Wielder combine powers.
Example: If bonded to a Phantom Eidolon, the user could perform "Shadow Phasing"—teleporting through surfaces.
3. Reality Hack
High-tier users gain "cheat-like" abilities by exploiting glitches in the Echo Grid's code—like pausing time in a specific radius or erasing energy signatures.
4. Soul Resonance
When the bond deepens, the user and Eidolon can temporarily merge into a singular being, unlocking their Resonant Form (a Tensei Slime–style evolution burst).

Rules and Risks:
Not everyone can survive the Link. Failure means madness, soul burn, or full possession by the Eidolon.
The stronger the Eidolon, the harder the trial.
Eidolons have their own personalities. They can rebel or even turn against the user if the bond weakens.
Link Evolution: Some pacts evolve with story events—love, revenge, trauma—allowing the Eidolon to mutate, grow, or even split.
Hidden Classes: Legendary users can unlock multiple Eidolons, or form Tri-Pacts—blending abilities from different origins (e.g., an Infernal + Synthetic = cyber-hell knight).

Urban World Integration:
Government and criminal organizations secretly monitor for Node activity.
Elite assassins or protectors are called Link Agents.
DarkNet auctions are held for sealed Eidolon codes, letting rich buyers attempt forced pacts (usually deadly).
Schools and secret groups begin training next-gen pact users to protect—or rule—the world.

Your Overpowered MC Hook:
Your protagonist stumbles on the website by accident—not during a celestial event, but through a broken phone and a dream about a sword-wielding ghost. When they enter, they skip the Trial and instantly form a Perfect Pact with a forbidden Eidolon called:
"Null.exe – The First Broken God"
A synthetic-demonic fusion Eidolon who can:
Delete energy
Rewrite enemy pacts
Spawn "Glitch Zones" where normal reality collapses
They are a "Bugged Node", someone the system never intended to exist.
