Echo-Bound Prime

Rijan Joshi is thrown into the Crucible Plane—a nightmarish trial where monsters hunt, people betray, and death is constant. Every day, a gate opens back to Earth, but escape is temporary. The trial never ends. At first, Rijan is weak. Afraid. Just another name waiting to disappear. Until he discovers the truth. The dead don’t vanish. They leave behind echoes. And Rijan can take them. With every death, he grows stronger—carrying the power of those who couldn’t survive. But as the trial continues, that power begins to change him. Because the more echoes he takes— the less of himself remains.
