Fold Breaker - The Spiral Rebellion

Alex Thatch

Fold Breaker : The Spiral Rebellion 
A fractured world. A forgotten prophecy. A weapon not forged—but born. 
For centuries, the Lands of Rock, Paper, and Scissors have lived in uneasy balance—each power defeating one, yet falling to another. It is a sacred cycle. A living truce. A game none can win. 
Until someone tries. 
As war ignites and the ancient rules begin to unravel, a fugitive emerges from exile—untrained, uncertain, and burdened by a destiny even he does not understand. Guided by a disgraced master, hunted by a merciless general, and haunted by visions of a spiral that defies all three realms, he must survive not just the battlefield… but himself. 
In a world where every move is measured and every cut obeys the code, he will forge a new path—one that does not follow the rules. 
Because the future does not belong to Rock, Paper, or Scissors. 
It belongs to the one who breaks the cycle.
