Last Epoch’s online mode has its fair share of problems, just like all the other online service games before it, and probably all the games to come as well. This particular bug can send players spiralling since it makes the character select screen appear empty, as if their precious characters have been wiped or otherwise lost.
Not to worry though: the fix is simple enough.
Last Epoch Empty Character Select Screen Fix
The solution really is dirt simple: restart the game. Once you load back in, like a charm, your character or roster of them will all be back where they belong, ready for deployment. Granted, connectivity errors may prevent you from actually logging in to the online service.
Looking through Reddit, Discord, and both the Steam Community and Last Epoch forums seems to indicate that some variation or other of this bug has occurred over the last few months if not years while the game was still in Early Access.

Rest assured that the restart fix is good enough and that it will work again just as well, should the bug resurface again during your playthrough.
As for patches, given how simple the fix is, this particular issue will likely continue while the developers prioritize more important bugs, glitches, and error fixes. Fortunately, there have been no reports of players actually losing any of their characters to the bug,
