Koschei: The Soul Forge™
In a world where eternity has curdled into infrastructure, one finite life becomes the only force that can fracture the immortal regime. This IP reframes the deathless myth as a soul-backed monopoly, rerouting the legend into a dimensional system of anchors that must be dismantled to restore meaning.
Koschei: The Soul Forge™ codifies mortality as a cultural resource, exposing immortality as a closed, stagnating market that collapses under its own permanence. It abstracts each Soul Anchor into a discrete psychological and political regime, enabling a clean, exportable franchise spine. It synchronizes existential stakes with prestige-genre architecture, creating a scalable model for stories that restore the worth of the ending.
