Aurelio: The Compound Interest of Power
By @ERIJEYSON FERMÍN VILORI
Aurelio, a man without age, drifts through the cosmos, his true identity a mosaic of forgotten lives. For centuries, he's been cursed with 'The Account of Compound Interest,' a metaphysical ledger that accrues power, knowledge, and even physical enhancements with every act of violence, discovery, or personal growth. But this exponential growth comes at a cost: each gain erodes a piece of his past, making him a stranger to himself. Now, a shadowy cosmic cartel, the Chronos Syndicate, has pinpointed Aurelio as a living nexus of reality-bending energy. They seek to siphon his 'interest' to rewrite galactic history, threatening to unravel the very fabric of existence. Aurelio must embrace the monster he's becoming, or surrender what little memory he has left and watch the universe burn.
