The Damned Ten

A prayer. A curse. A promise sealed in dying stars.

Once, there were ten.

Not born, but broken. Not saved, but chosen.

When the sky cracked and Purgatory bled into Earth, the world screamed - and no one answered. But beneath the ash and silence, ten souls were lifted from death by the Primordials, gods older than time, and gifted fragments of their eternal flame.

Now they walk again.
Not as heroes. As echoes. Weapons. Warnings.

Shojiro, the muscle of gods.
Leone, the ghost who dares to love.
Karl, the man who became machine.
Alex, whose mind broke to glimpse truth.
Zans, whose shadow remembers pain.
Wariamu, the speed that outran grief.
Zixy, who laughs as she curses fate.
Morgz, the tide that drags dreams down.
Enme, the seal between life and ruin.
And Max... whose light went out too soon.

They do not fight to win.
They fight because if they fall,
the stars fall with them.

This is not a tale of triumph.
It is a requiem -
for the last generation who dared to resist the end.
