Eternal Vow: Blood for the Forgotten

Eternal Vow: Blood for the Forgotten

The Lost Map of Yuresi

"The forgotten are not always silent.

Some make vows to return."

This is not a story about rising in power.

It is a war of memory.

And those who vow to return… awaken the system.

THE WORLD OF YURESI — A TRILAYERED REALM

Layer Description

Altari The realm of the living. Kingdoms, academies, corrupted faith. A world of illusion and ruin.

Derinal The system's core. Neither life nor death. Tasks are assigned here. Only chosen souls may enter.

Azeris The void. Abandoned by gods. The birthplace of masks, silence, and erasure.

CONTINENTS OF YURESI

Continent: Naerthia

The current center of the story.

Halvenya Academy – An elite institution tied to the system. Knowledge above, memory seals below.

Jundra Ashlands – A scorched forest where rogue souls flee system control.

Kirel Valley – A forgotten city drowning in shadows.

Serrath Kingdom – A rotting kingdom allied with the system. Its sanctity is a lie.

Continent: Cevareth

Still hidden.

Whispers claim it is the cradle of the first mask.

Here, even the gods lost their voice.

THE SYSTEM: THE ETERNAL VOW

Only those who die a second death awaken it.

Tasks are fragments of who you once were.

To survive, you must remember.

But the more you remember, the more it hurts.

Stats:

Strength – Raw physical might

Endurance – Pain tolerance and recovery

Intellect – Memory clarity and task decoding

Soul – Spiritual depth and emotion binding

Resolve – Will to continue despite loss

Mechanics:

Tasks are tied to emotional triggers: fear, shame, rage, sorrow…

Abilities are not learned—they are unlocked through pain.

Every recovered memory is a weapon and a wound.

CORE RULES OF THE SYSTEM:

1. Your name is erased.

2. No task, no exit.

3. Memory restoration causes physical pain.

4. Doors do not open without vows.

5. Failed souls rot in Derinal.

6. Those who fall into Azeris are forgotten forever.

7. Only one can truly complete the vow.

MAIN CHARACTERS

Caelen Vow (The Nameless Reclaimed)

Once erased. Now remembered.

His soul is fractured, but his will is iron.

First awakened task: Breathing.

Second: Facing the memory of abandoning his dying brother.

Goal: He fights not to become someone,

but to punish those who erased what he was.

Echo (The Woman in the Memory Door)

The last face Caelen saw before forgetting.

Always turned away.

Appears at memory thresholds.

Her presence weakens system boundaries.

No one knows her name. Not even Caelen.

The System

Voiceless yet commanding.

Issues tasks, adjusts stats, responds to emotional alignment.

Is it conscious? Or a divine echo long detached from will?

The Shade

Manifestations of broken memory and guilt.

Mimic lost faces.

First enemies in emotional alignment zones.

Elias Varin

A former noble who chose to enter the system.

Obsessed with rewriting his past.

Quote: "If memory is power, then I will author my own."

Master of mental manipulation.

Veyra Ashen

Burned survivor. Remembers everything.

Considered a system instability.

Her presence distorts nearby memory fields.

Ally or threat? Unknown.

Thorne Cael

Cold and calculating.

Believes forgetting is evolution.

Ability: Memory Inversion

Keeps others' memories to use as weapons.

Seren Yurei

Speaks in fractured phrases.

Allegedly walked through Azeris and returned.

Insane, or too aware?

ORIGINS & LORE

In the first era, Yuresi was ruled by the deity of memory: Record.

One day, a soul erased its own name and face.

Thus, the system was born.

Now, every death is a test.

And remembering… is a curse.

FINAL WORD:

"You don't fight for survival in Yuresi.

You fight for meaning

even when your name is gone."
