Re: The System's Harvester

My name is Evren Lestir. Once, I was a girl who saw the world in colors so bright, they could warm even the coldest soul.

But life has a cruel way of testing even the brightest flames.

After losing everything I held dear, I drifted through a hollow existence—numb to the world, blind to its colors, and deaf to its call. I thought nothing could reignite the light I lost.

Then The System found me.

With shimmering blue panels and words that hummed like perfect promises, it pulled me into another reality—a maze of endless worlds stitched together by missions, monsters, and the illusion of progress. A labyrinth where forward was the only option.

At first, I thought it was salvation. Each step, each battle, each drop of blood painted forgotten colors back into my world. I grew drunk on the hues I had lost, chasing the sky’s beauty with a childlike wonder, believing the fields and hills before me were all there was.

But a torch shining in a narrow corridor can make even a prison look like a palace.

In truth, I was a frog at the bottom of a well, gazing at a fragment of a sky—naïve to the infinite world beyond the gritty stone walls built by The System.

But after a mistake in that omnipotent construct, I found myself peeking through a crack in the wall, presented with a fragment of the truth I never saw. 

This maze was never meant to be escaped. It was never meant to be climbed—not even to glimpse the sky beyond.

Yet through that slender crack, a flicker of sunlight ignited something long-buried within me—a spark of the campfire I once carried.

I will chase that light.

I will see beyond these walls.

And I will remember the world they tried to bury.

Even if every strike I make against the walls sends ripples of ruin through the maze.
