Jōki
In a world where advanced technology and ancient traditions collide, jōki—an energy fueled by emotion—defines strength. Those who wield it shape the course of history. Those who cannot are left behind.
Luka Viazemsky was born different. He cannot feel. He cannot wield jōki. To the world, he is nothing. An outcast. But when his peaceful island is destroyed by the alien race known as the Xeno, and his parents are killed in the massacre, his fate is forever changed.
Left to survive in a society that rejects him, Luka’s life takes another turn when he is pushed off a cliff and left for dead. Instead of dying, he is rescued by a mysterious man—someone like him, someone without emotion. Under his brutal training, Luka awakens a rare and unknown power, one that should not exist.
Now, armed with a strength he barely understands, Luka embarks on a dangerous journey across a world ruled by warriors and corrupted by hidden forces. He must learn the emotions he was born without, search for his missing sister, and face the Xeno race that shattered his life.
But the deeper he delves into his own existence, the more he realizes—this world is built on lies. And at its core lies a secret that could change everything.
Because in a war where power is everything, what happens when the one who feels nothing is the key to peace—or total destruction?
