The Flower That Bloomed Nowhere

Humanity thrives in a golden age—unified under one government, freed from scarcity, extended beyond time itself with lifespans stretching centuries. Yet progress has outpaced evolution: the young chafe beneath the weight of unaging elders, and the cracks in utopia deepen. Into this tension steps Utsushikome of Fusai, a prodigy of Thanatomancy, among other gifted arcanists summoned by the enigmatic Order of the Universal Panacea. Their goal: to unravel the secret of true immortality. But the Order carries a curse, and not all attendees seek its stated purpose. Some harbor secrets; some seek vengeance. And one among them is not human at all. As alliances fracture and hidden agendas surface, the question looms: in a world where even time bends, what can truly last? The answer may lie in blood—or something far worse.
