Betrayed after victory, Ethan returns to the hours before a reality-replacing game launches.
ECLIPSE, a neural-immersion game, overwrote reality and forced eight years of lethal combat where resurrection counts were finite. Ethan guided survivors to kill Nidhogg the Void Dragon and won the Dragon Core, a mythic item capable of rewriting the world's rules. His closest comrades, Marcus and Rachel, murdered him to seize it, but the Core rejected Marcus and rolled time back to the pre-launch hours. Ethan retains every memory of the collapse and NEXUS Corporation's hidden agenda. He now races to claim the Founder's Chip first, hoard critical early resources, and prevent the tragedies that defined the original timeline.
