In the world created by a mystical barrier, which is unknown and strange and is called the Veil, there existed two oldest reincarnated souls: Yumi and Ren. They are reborn into a body of a young child but one doesn't have any emotion. They are devoid of memories about their past life. They are awakened in a reality that is both strange and familiar-a place which is ruled by the Architect, a sentient, ancient power that will determine the fates of the two old souls. This cryptic entity will lead them into a destiny that entwines the destiny of their very beings to the balance between light and dark.

Along with Yumi and Ren, there are two other reborn souls: Alistair and Lyra. They were initially walking on separate paths but later converged on the same track where the association of all four now has increasing importance. Like Yumi and Ren, Alistair-the strong protective soul, and Lyra-the intelligent, yet cautious spirit-are also deprived of their emotions. But as they travel through this treacherous world, they will each rediscover connections with one another and all develop a different kind of bond that will come from the brittle trust of experiences they share.

Yumi, Ren, Alistair, and Lyra do not remember what they were, and now they must walk through the hostile, unknown world where every step brings them closer to danger. As they travel the path back to regain their lost emotions, their life will be constantly challenged with the kind of threat that would push them beyond their limits-in strength, in bravery, and in survival. On this arduous journey, their ties convert-ties once made from brittle trust into something deep and unshakable, like the one formed between Yumi and Ren and the one formed between Alistair and Lyra. In this way, they turn these relationships into their ultimate weapon against the enemy forces out to control them.

The mysterious system guides both couples to battle external enemies and the internal struggle over the very being of their souls. Inherent within their journey is the fundamental search for themselves and their emotions-questions that unravel how complicated their ties can be. As they unlock the secrets of the Heartstone, a potent artifact able to hold the keys of restoration to the balance of the world, they are confronted with a different choice that would prove impossible: keeping that locked, flimsy peace they've fought for, or risking everything to reshape the world according to their vision. 

Through intense battles, perilous trials, and moments of profound emotional growth, they learn what love and identity really mean and balance darkness against illumination. They must learn to live with the opposing forces inside themselves-darkness and light-and leave behind a legacy of unity and healing for future generations. 

Adventure, action, romance, and self-discovery will make you glued to a book called Ember of Us-Rebooted Hearts. It discusses Characters of identity, examines the very nature of emotion, and delves into the chaotic mess of love in a world where nothing is as it seems. Yumi, Ren, Alistair, and Lyra not only save, but also redeem their hearts and find the real meaning in their lives transforming the future wherein love would be the basis for change.

The reality they fell into was not gentle.


They fell into a forest of pain and contorted trees, cracked bark laced with beautiful glowing veins of red. It pulsed beneath their feet as if it had a heartbeat beneath the surface.


The sky grew ash-gray with no moving clouds over it. Somewhere far, something screamed; a sound made by metal rubbing bone.

Ren was the first to wake up. He was no hastier than usual while his hands remained steady. 


"System," he muttered like some natural instinct. A panel popped open in his sight.


Beside him, Yumi tagged about spearing her interface. "No skills. No weapons. No... fear."


"Someone is watching us," Lyra said, looking into the trees.


There was some rustling, and suddenly a dark shape emerged from a tree-behind it-no face, just an amorphous shifting black body with myriads of tiny twitched hands.


Alistair reacted without thought; he stepped in front of Lyra, arms spread wide-and not in a shield kind of way: more instinctive than anything.

He caught the creature's lunge and threw it aside with momentum that even surprised him. 


But something inside them... twitched. 


Yumi picked up a shard of glowing stone, which she flung like a dagger. It pierced into the twitching core of the Stalker,

"Emotion is not always love. It is also sometimes survival." They stood bathed in the light that disappeared into the parting remains of the creature. A strange warmth buzzed through their limbs-not joy and not relief: something. A whisper.
