Chronicles of the Abyss Walker

Kaelen, a disillusioned former elite operative, is haunted by the spectral remnants of a mission gone sideways. Every night, the faces of his fallen squad flicker in the darkness, a constant reminder of his failure to protect them. His only solace, and curse, is the 'Echo Imprint' - a supernatural ability allowing him to absorb and perfectly replicate the skills, memories, and even personalities of the recently deceased for a limited time. When a cataclysmic rift, the 'Void Maw,' begins consuming major cities, spewing forth monstrous 'Aberrations,' Kaelen is thrust back into a world he tried to abandon. He must navigate a decaying society teetering on the brink, battling overwhelming odds, all while wrestling with the identities echoing within him. The fate of humanity hinges on Kaelen mastering this borrowed power without losing himself to the whispers of the dead, confronting the very organization that betrayed his squad.
