The Record of Fate

Every path was drawn before the first step was taken.

People believe they make choices. They think every step they take, every decision they make, carries meaning. But there is something they do not know: they are merely shadows moving within predetermined boundaries.

The universe is a system woven with unchanging laws since its inception. Every action has a reaction, every choice has a consequence. But those consequences have already been calculated. The place where a stone will fall, the direction water will flow, the leaf the wind will carry… These are written. They cannot be changed.

The greatest illusion of life is the illusion of freedom.

Orbis is the order that preserves these laws. The Fate Guardians exist like shadows woven into the fabric of this order. Yet, their greatest concern is not a breaking point—it is an unforeseen variable slipping into the equation.

But now, the equation has been compromised. A single variable, unaccounted for, has slipped through the cracks of fate.

The system trembles. The pages of the Record distort. The Twelve Scribes understand the meaning of this anomaly. If this error is not contained, it is not just the fate of one individual that will waver, but the balance of the entire system.
