Chronicle of a Ruined KingdomTHE KINGDOM OF GUILT"Where forgiveness is a myth and the sky forgot the sun"The Age of Light (Past)Seven years ago, Stephano arrived like a ray of hope. Without magic, but with infinite kindness, he healed broken hearts and united the kingdom. No one knew that each miracle cost a life; his constant "Returns by Death" enveloped him in the stench of the Witch, a mark of sacrifice that the world mistook for pure evil. The hero was loved, before being hated for his own scent of salvation.The Descent into the AbyssFive years of systematic torture transformed the dungeons into the home of a martyr. The heroines, blinded by trauma, tore apart the soul of the one who saved them. Screams, ignored pleas, and a betrayal that shattered reality itself. The execution was not the end, but the awakening of an eternal nightmare for the executioners who, upon seeing Stephano die, regained the memory of his innocence.The Present: Ashes and RemorseKingdom Status: Emotional CollapseThe sky is a gray slab that never lets light through. In every square, Stephano's statues stand as silent reminders of an unforgivable sin. People walk with their heads down, fearing to find in others' eyes the reflection of their own cruelty. The six heroines, now shadows of their former selves, wander through empty palaces, haunted by the echo of Stephano's pleas and the self-loathing that consumes them.

In this scene of absolute desolation, magic has brought back an original Stephano. A young man who knows nothing of the pain of red-hot irons or the coldness of betrayal. His appearance is a cruel miracle: he is the image of purity in a world that no longer deserves to be saved. The heroines watch him from afar, trembling between the desire to embrace him and the terror that he might discover what they did to his "other self".Archive: Tragedia_0705.sysWARNING: FRAGMENTED MEMORY

Chronicle of Eternal Betrayal

"The scent that blinded justice and condemned innocence"

I. The Age of Light Before the darkness, Stephano was the kingdom's sun. His adventure began with humble steps and a heart overflowing with kindness. With his "Return by Death" power, he faced horrors no one else could see, dying again and again in silence to ensure the heroines smiled upon waking.

Lianna, Remi, Sylph, Nia, Valeria, and Aura loved him with pure devotion. He was their pillar, the strategist who guided them, and the friend who dried their tears. Together they traversed enchanted forests and defeated the cult's beasts, forging bonds that seemed unbreakable under the blue sky of a peace won with invisible blood.

II. The Descent into the Abyss The tragedy struck when the "Witch's Scent" became unbearable. That aroma, a residue of his countless deaths for love, was mistaken for the mark of a Sin Archbishop. In an instant, love turned into visceral hatred. Those who swore to protect him turned their backs.

He was dragged to the deepest dungeons. For five years, the kingdom he saved became his executioner. The heroines, blinded by their own past traumas with the cult, unleashed their fury upon him. Red-hot irons, whips, and words of contempt broke his body and soul, while he could only weep in silence, not understanding why his friends looked at him with monster eyes.

III. The Truth and Infinite Guilt "When the veil fell, only the echo of a forgiveness that could no longer be heard remained."

The day of the public execution, the truth emerged like a cold dagger. Upon discovering that Stephano was the true savior and that his "scent" was the sacrifice of a thousand lives for them, the kingdom collapsed. Infinite guilt took root in the heroines' hearts. Now, every time they look at the new Stephano—the one who doesn't remember the pain—they feel an unbearable nausea.

They despise themselves, seeing themselves as the true monsters. They have erased the world's memory to hide their sin, but in the nights, the echo of Stephano's screams during torture haunts them. They live in a perfect lie, desperately caring for a kind young man while their own souls rot in remorse for having destroyed the one who loved them most.
