Tales of Gods: Shards of Dominion is an epic fantasy tale set in a cosmos created by 20 gods who once ruled with harmony, shaping the stars, planets, and life forms with joy. Their greatest creation, the people-ten unique races made in their image-thrived under their divine influence. But one god, dark and ambitious, grew discontent and devised a plan to shatter the balance. Seducing nine other gods, they became the Liberators, seeking dominion and ushering in an age of conflict. The war between the Liberators and the Nurturing Gods raged for 500 years, leaving the world in ruins. Exhausted, the gods fell into a deep sleep, bound by the toll of their battles. Before slumber claimed them, the Nurturing Gods bestowed blessings upon five races, instilling gifts of strength, wisdom, and resilience. The Liberators did the same for their chosen people, fostering ambition, cunning, and power. Centuries later, a young hero, driven by prophecy and an unwavering sense of justice, rises from among the people to seek the Echoes-ancient artifacts said to hold the essence of the gods' powers. Alongside allies, including a silver-haired warrior with unmatched resolve, he embarks on a journey that uncovers secrets of betrayal, sacrifice, and survival. As the old gods stir and the echoes of war resound, the fate of the world hangs in balance. Tales of Gods: Shards of Dominion themes of heartache, vengeance, survival, and hope into an epic tale where gods and mortals collide, destinies intertwine, and only those willing to defy fate can stand against the dark tides of history.

Volume One: Tale of a Sumotori On Taria sumo is an ancient sport devoted to a man who stood up to the War Kami Kenichi and won. He fought to decide not only the fate of his town, or the island his town was on, but the entire Sasuke Empire.
