Full Flow Chart (Miro Link)

A dying legend sends you on a quest to recover a mythical artifact said to reveal a hero’s true nature. Armed with a golden lens that exposes past sins, you uncover ugly truths behind shining titles. The Hero’s Guild — once glorious — is rotting from within. Between smoky bars, rigged duels, and phoenix fires, you chase the artifact through lies, ego, and ruin. Every hero you meet hides a darker story, and the lens makes sure you see it all. When you finally unlock the artifact, it offers a terrible gift — the power to rewrite failure itself. But changing fate comes at a cost: the price of your own reflection. In the end, you must decide what kind of hero you really are — one who buries mistakes, or one who bears them. After all, even legends have something to atone for.
