To survive, Ryu must forge himself into something sharper than the claws of monsters and crueler than the nobles who cast him aside. Yet the rift has its own secrets. The same power that could make him a legend might also break him—if the monsters don’t tear him apart first.

There were leaves and sticks in her long, dark hair as it whipped around her face. She couldn't stop. When thieves were caught by pack wolves, they usually died.

In a tournament that spans galaxies, where warriors battle not just for glory, but for something far greater, Sereth Vaelwyn arrives with nothing but speed, instinct, and a fire that won’t burn out. He’s reckless, loud, and nowhere near the strongest—or so it seems. But as each battle unfolds, strange patterns begin to emerge: impossible movements, time bending at the edge of thought, and energy drawn from a place that shouldn’t exist. Every fighter touches something they don’t fully understand... a place beyond space, beyond form—where power has no shape, only will. Masaru, the disciplined swordsman bound by legacy. Aeon, the child with timeless eyes and a gentleness deeper than space. Torvak, the brawler who turns fear into laughter, and Thalen, who probably shouldn't even exist in the first place. Each of them is pulled forward, as if by fate—or something older. Sereth doesn’t know what he’s tapping into. He just knows it’s waking up. And when it does... everything will change.

Kotarō Nozomi is fluent in English—but not in speaking. Not in front of others. Quiet, observant, and chronically self-edited, he’s somehow drafted into his class’s English Debate Competition… and has no idea how to say no. Paired with Haruka—a bold, expressive club member—and Watanabe, who barely tries, Kotarō finds himself stuck between silence and expectation. At first, standing at the podium feels impossible. But when the tournament begins and he finally opens his mouth… something changes. From makeshift practice rooms to official matches, Kotarō starts to learn how to speak under pressure, how to argue with purpose—and how language can connect more than it divides. A slow-burn, grounded school drama about anxiety, competitive debate, unexpected growth, and the people who force us to speak—whether we’re ready or not.
