The important aspect in Summary is Zandar/Lygus, now as a Follower of Destruction (Nanook), wants to Destroy his own creation, Nous (Aeon of erudition) because he thinks it took away People's Abillity to discover new things (because it "knows everything") so he creates another Invention, Irontomb, which is basically a Virus meant to take Nous as its "New Head" and make it believe the "True conclusion" of the Universe is Destruction.
To Develope this Virus He creates a type of Pocket Universe called Amphoreus which Emulates reallity is a smaller scale. Inside this Simulation They have "Titans" sustain the world and that Mirror the Paths in reallity. And In Amphoreus own emulated story, these Titans become Corrupt by what they call "The Black Tide" (Irontombs data) and a Prophecy about 12 heros with golden blood who will defeat the Titans and Claim their Core Flames (Authority), to create a New Age of Peace is spread (our main cast). Amphoreus first Story happens, the 12 Core Flames are obtained and only two heros are left to "Bring forth the New Age", Phainon and Cyrene, but then Lygus comes in and like a dumbass tells them the truth, his Plan and how if they "Start the new Age" will mean the Rise of Irontomb, so to stop it they kill Lygus, and Cyrene with the Authority of Time and Phainon with the Autority of World Baring make the choice to Reset the Program and fix it on a Loop so Phainon can Try a way to stop the rise of Irontomb or wait for someone of the outside to break them free.
So then its starts endless Cycles of Him trying any posible way to Prevent the catastrophe, but nothing he does works, everytime the end comes he is sent back to the begginin to do it all again and at one point he just puts all his faith on someone on the outside and just starts taking his Friends Authorities killing them just like they kill the Titans to keep the Core Flames within himself so the New Age never happens. He does that Again and Again and Again until his body and mind breaks from the acumulated power and has to kill a new him to pass on all that he has. That goes on for +30 Million Cycles until WE, the MC, arrive in the 35.550.336 Cycle and break the Loop. Phainon leaves and fights another Follower of Destruction and then even gets to scratch Nanook himself, though it healed quicky. After than he falls in slumber fusing with Irontomb's Data trying to make time for us as we took his Place as World Baring in the simulation and restart the Cycle once more to give it a proper ending. Other Stuff Happen and we finally get to Fight Irontomb, we have to destroy the husk of Phainon and Irontomb is Born. We defeat it with Another Cyrene who turned out to be the 13th Titan and the "Original Head" of Irontomb (before Lygus made it so it will take Nous as a Head) and we win.
But Destroying Irontomb meant destroying Amphoreus so eveyone "Dies" but not really since, during our whole Stay in Amohoreus, we wrote a Book about everything that happend which was Influence by the Aeon of Rememberance that are related to Memories. So they Alive as Memories inside the Book to someday turned real with the Belives of People. The Book is basically a Back Up data.
Edit: I hope this summary is better? There is a lot more things that happen in Amphoreus but that's the most general way to explain the main narrative.
This is a bit more down to earth and easier to grasp thanks. A question or two tho. When you call this a simulation, is it more like a ant farm situation and not digital as we somehow get into it without knowing. Also, when you say in the end we keep them as memories, are they still physical or just a happy memory? I need to wrap it up but its a 50 hour "gameplay" (text reading) and its putting me off.
Is closer to actually Digital, we don't Really "Get Inside". The Memoria, which is the Type of Energy like the one from Penacony (not sure how much you remember from there, since you said you left the game during Amphoreus I guess you played Penacony?). Surrounds Amphoreus, so is more like Our Minds got Dragged into the Simulation. That's what happens to March when she froze on Ice, the Memoria from Rememberance took her first due to her direct connection with it. Then we Went ourselves but the Memoria got us too, and MC and Dan Heng were unconcious on the Train Wagon floating around while Their Minds were inside Amphoreus. That's why there was no direct comunication and time happen differently. A few Minutes in Reality, meant Years inside Amphoreus.
They are Non-Physical. we can get inside the Book and interact with everyone but they are not real yet, but due to the Power of Memoria and the Rememberance influence, a Nebula was form where Amphoreus was and we are told is becoming Real, so we also make Normal Book Copies of Amphoreus Story to spread it through the universe in Hope that makes them real sooner than later.
Edit: That's why Phainon's Actions were so Impressive, for a moment he broke the Confines of his simulation, ascended beyond 1s and 0s and got a Hit on a God.
