The New Gate Light Novel

The Prince of Light

"When darkness surrounds you, and not even the faintest particle of light remains… when all have lost hope, and the future seems like a distant dream… in that moment, my seeker, you have only two choices: surrender or look within yourself until you find the light you need and become a lantern for the lost." In a world consumed by shadows, where hope is but a distant echo, an ordinary young man is swept by fate into an extraordinary realm. He is no warrior. He is no sage. He has no noble lineage, nor a hidden power. And yet, deep within him, there lies the only spark capable of challenging the eternal night. Noctharn, the King of the Night, has stolen the world’s light, plunging its people into misery and fear. The libraries have been burned to ashes, yet in the most remote corners of the land, forbidden books still whisper secrets. Technology has been stripped away, but the last androids silently guard the remnants of knowledge. Dragons and ancient birds have vanished, hiding in the folds of time. The sun has been banished, and only the Millennial Moon remains, an unwavering witness to the suffering of her children. But even in despair, there are those who resist. Those who remember that true light can never be destroyed—only hidden. Legends speak of a chosen one, a pure soul whose light will restore hope and bring dawn back to the Continent of Eternal Dawn. Yet true royalty is not inherited—it is earned. And before he can rise against the darkness, he must face trials of virtue, learn the meaning of sacrifice, and understand that power does not lie in strength, but in the heart. "If you stop thinking only of yourself and look beyond, you will find what truly matters." "Virtue must be tested in order to shine before evil. Only then can it be recognized—only then can it be feared." "Darkness may fade, but light… light never dies."

[hiatus] Hell’s Gate

Hell’s Gate is a dark fantasy novel set in a medieval-inspired world where mystical forces known as Aura grant individuals powerful supernatural abilities. The story follows Sakuchi, a young man who survives the Hell Trial—a brutal and transformative test that awakens his dangerous Flame Aura. Though it grants him incredible power, it also thrusts him into a violent world of intrigue, where alliances shift and deadly creatures lurk in every shadow. In this world, Aura is the dormant energy within every living being, hidden deep inside until it is awakened through a harrowing trial known as the Hell Trial. The amount of Aura a person possesses depends on their bloodline, natural talent, and spirit. Nobles typically have greater reserves, but every human has the potential to awaken it. The Hell Trial forces its participants to face their deepest fears and darkest regrets, reshaping them both physically and mentally. Those who survive become the Awakened, capable of using their Aura for spellcasting, enhancing physical abilities, or creating weapons. However, failure often leads to permanent damage, both mental and physical. Once awakened, these individuals gain immense power but are feared and respected by others, living in a separate society from the common folk. Some seek to enhance their abilities further through the Reawakening Trial, though few dare to attempt it due to its dangers. The story begins with Sakuchi, a boy born into poverty, haunted by tragedy and a traumatic past. Five years prior, his family was destroyed by a nobleman’s cruelty. His father was killed, and his siblings were taken as slaves. This traumatic event shaped Sakuchi into someone driven by rage and grief. His life takes a dark turn when, at fourteen, he is struck by a noble’s spell. This injury triggers memories of his father’s death and his family’s fate, pushing him toward the Hell Trial. As Sakuchi Begins the trial, his past looms large, and he must confront his deepest fears. In the trial itself, he faces his own guilt and pain in the form of twisted, monstrous versions of his family. But through the power of his newly awakened Flame Aura, Sakuchi conquers his past, rises from the ashes, and claims his newfound power.

SHADOWS AMONG THE LIGHT

In the floating city of Aether, where metal towers dance with ancient magic and steam engines, lies a secret capable of tearing reality apart. Rael, a young man with a dark past and forbidden blood, is thrust into the eye of the storm when a mysterious power within him awakens—a force that merges human genes with those of the Arkanis, interdimensional entities long considered eternal enemies. After a sudden attack by the radical Lumen Faction, which seeks ancient power, Rael learns that his father, Kael Veygar, was a legendary technomagus who sealed the Aetheris Gate—a portal to the heart of all dimensions—within himself. The seal wasn’t meant to protect Rael, but to save the world from destruction. Hunted as both key and weapon, Rael must face: Lyra, a Lumen Faction agent corrupted by illegal technology, burdened by vengeance and regret. Dax, a genius technomancer obsessed with knowledge, trapped in a game of power. Jyn, a bounty hunter android with a dark past, selling loyalty for freedom. Nexus, an ancient dimension where his mother—the Arkanis queen—is trapped, and where the secret of Kael’s death lies. From the black markets of the Lower District to a Cursed Island surrounded by magnetic seas, Rael risks his life to uncover the truth: that he is a symbol of sacrifice, forced to choose between opening the Aetheris Gate to save his mother or destroying it and losing his humanity. But the Lumen Faction won’t stop there. Armed with dimension-shattering weapons and hybrid soldiers, they force Rael to become a pawn in a war that will decide the fate of all beings—humans, Arkanis, and those in between. Amid betrayals, illusions, and epic battles across dimensions, Rael must answer one question: Does being a hero mean becoming a shadow buried in the dark, or daring to be the light that burns everything away? "Shadows Among the Light" is a dark fantasy tale blending steampunk, multidimensional magic, and philosophical questions about the price of peace. Here, true heroes aren’t unblemished—they’re the ones brave enough to stand at the edge of the abyss, between light and shadow.
