In a world constantly besieged by monstrous incursions from ethereal Rifts, humanity relies on Ascendants – individuals blessed with extraordinary abilities to defend against the encroaching darkness. Ethan Blackwood, a perpetually underestimated and tragically underpowered Ascendant known amongst his peers and others alike as Echo, scrapes by with barely enough to cover basic sustenance. He is usually dispatched on small or easy dungeon raids. However, after a near-fatal encounter within a newly opened Rift, a mysterious force awakens within him, granting him the Resonance System. This unique ability allows him to absorb the essence of fallen enemies, rapidly accelerating his growth and unlocking unparalleled powers. As Ethan masters the Resonance System and ascends beyond the limitations of other Ascendants, he must confront not only the escalating monster threat but also the shadowy organizations and envious rivals who seek to control or exploit his newfound power.
