🌀 Existential Corrosion

"The more you remember, the more you disappear."

🧠 What is Existential Corrosion?

Existential Corrosion is a catastrophic abyssal effect that targets not the body, but the very concept of someone’s existence.
Once activated, it begins to erase a person from memory, narrative, records, and even emotional traces.

This is not death.
This is obliteration of presence.

⚙️ Effect Phases

1️⃣ Meaning Collapse

• Written words by the victim turn to smears or indecipherable symbols.
• Quotes lose coherence. Language itself forgets the speaker.

---

2️⃣ Visual Erasure

• Photos and images show an empty space where the victim once stood.
• Reflections, shadows, and videos glitch or skip.

---

3️⃣ Memory Rejection

• Others react violently or blankly when asked about the victim.
• Attempting to remember causes nausea, migraines, or fear.

---

4️⃣ Personal Void

• Survivors feel unexplained grief, déjà vu, or phantom emotional pain.
• Victim’s name becomes “unspeakable”—even the voice glitches when saying it.

🎬 Seen in: The Abyss of Comfort – "The Erased Traces"

🪞 Lore Note:

“Existence is not protected by reality.
It is protected only by memory—and memory is fragile inside the Abyss.”

⚠️ Warning:

This effect is contagious through emotional ties.
Anyone who loves too deeply may risk being erased alongside the one they seek.
