In a world ravaged by endless Rifts and monstrous invasions, humanity survives only through Summoners who bind savage beasts to their will — dragons that breathe fire, hydras that spit venom, direwolf packs that hunt in chaos.
Elias Voss, a forgotten orphan from the toxic Black Vein mines, has only one dream: to never die in the dark like his parents.
At the Awakening Ceremony, while others summon mighty beasts, he receives the cursed Null Affinity and summons nothing but a faint, rusted echo of a long-dead knight.
Mocked. Betrayed by the only person he trusted. Branded worthless.
But that echo carries the bloodline of the Ancient Golden Order — a forgotten path that does not tame living beasts.
It awakens the Echoes of the Fallen — spirits of dead heroes, fallen kings, and fragments of forgotten gods.
With the Undying Spirit Legion System, Elias can call upon the dead to fight for him. But the fallen demand tribute. They remember their glory, their thrones, their divinity.
They do not obey easily.
Beasts roar and break.
The echoes endure, scheme, and whisper forgotten secrets.
Elias doesn’t want to be a hero.
He wants to be the one who commands the dead.
From Null to Sovereign of Echoes.
The past does not serve the living for free.
The Fallen are listening.
