Kiriko Takehaya

A goddess trapped within the confines of oblivion waits for the perfect soul to carry a fragment of her own. Our unsuspecting Atsushi is met with a new entity threatening to merge with his own. Will they survive, or will they be crushed as time moves on. The question that cannot be so easily answered lingers throughout the story, unanswered until the very end.

Reiji Itsuki was supposed to move on. After an untimely death, he expected the usual cycle—heaven, hell, or maybe another life. Instead, he wakes up as something unnatural. A ghost. Drifting through an unfamiliar world, Reiji quickly realizes that he isn’t just any wandering spirit. There’s something inside him, a presence that whispers, writhes, and yearns. A sentient curse, bound to his very existence. Struggling to understand his new form, Reiji encounters a dragon—an ancient, powerful being who doesn’t see him as a threat, nor a friend, but a spectacle. Amused by the ghost who refuses to fade, the dragon watches as Reiji stumbles through his afterlife, uncovering the secrets of his own cursed soul. As he learns more about himself, the world, and the unseen forces that bind him, Reiji must decide: is he truly alive, or just a lingering echo of what once was? And more importantly—can he remain himself, or will the curse take over completely? A tale of mystery, magic, and the thin line between existence and oblivion begins.

In a shattered Earth, young Kiriko Kuroki finds herself thrust into an ancient order of mystic guardians known as the Arcanas. As her latent powers awaken, she joins a band of survivors on a cosmic odyssey like no other. From the place she once called home to the boundless wonders of the cosmos, their mission is daring and desperate: avenge their decimated world, unravel the enigmatic mystery of the universe, and face the chilling specters that dwell in the shadows. With every light year, secrets as old as time beckon, and sinister forces threaten to engulf them. The fragile notes of hope are drowned by the impending darkness. Can Kiriko and her companions decipher the celestial melodies that bind them, or will they be forever lost to the abyss? The maestro's baton rises, and the Symphony of the Lost reaches far beyond the universe itself.
