Immortal Mythos: Bound by Void-Chapter 56 - 72: “Through the Flame”

Yuki steps past the threshold, reality bends. What he and the group find is not a vault or a chamber, but a twisted realm made entirely of memory. Echoes of the past flicker like shadows across burning walls—familiar faces long gone, laughter warped into cries.

But deep within the heart of the illusion, behind the eighth flame, something shifts.

The Eidolon watches.

Not from malice—but from longing. And now that Yuki is here, the rewriting may finally begin.

The moment Yuki's foot crosses the final glyph, the eighth flame pulses—silent, yet thunderous. The world around them shudders like a breath being held too long.

The group emerges into a massive chamber of light and shadow. The floor is water, but they do not sink. Instead, reflections of their pasts ripple at their feet: Ren's lonely childhood in the mountains, Aiko's tears under moonlight, Himari holding Haru's hand in a collapsing shrine, and Yuki—standing alone in a burning house, the image glitching like broken data.

Yuki blinks.

And the flame speaks.

"You came... not as a thief, but as a key."

The voice is not one—it is many. Whispers from every moment Yuki has ever doubted himself. Every voice that's ever questioned who he truly is.

Suddenly, everything freezes. The water hardens like glass. The shadows scatter.

A form begins to take shape behind the flame—something tall, shifting, cloaked in ash and memory. Eyes that change with each blink: old, young, kind, cruel.

The Eidolon has seen enough.

"You carry the threads of reality and void," it says, "but do you know what was unraveled to make you whole?"

The flame flares—showing the group something impossible: A world that existed before the mythic balance. One Yuki was never meant to see.

Yuki steps forward, fists trembling. "Why me?"

A pause. Then...

"Because you remember what the world forgot."

The chamber flickers again—like a heartbeat skipping. The image of the forgotten world vanishes, leaving behind only the eighth flame and the being behind it.

The Eidolon lowers its head, and the light around them folds inward.

"This is only the beginning," it murmurs. "The rewrite starts with a name."

A long silence.

Yuki's breath catches as the name echoes—not aloud, but in every cell of his body.

His.

Not the one he knows.

The one buried beneath the fire, the void, the lie.

And as the flame dims, and the water beneath them begins to crack—

Ren yells, "Yuki, move!"

Too late.

The world shatters.

And they fall.
