Guardians of the Veil
In a world where Essence — a mystical energy — governs the balance between realities, the Guardians of the Veil wage a secret war against the Yokaï, nightmarish creatures capable of plunging humanity into chaos.
Yahiko, a thirteen-year-old boy, lives peacefully in a remote village alongside his mother and sister. But when a Yokaï emerges from the shadows and ravages his home, everything changes. The attack awakens in him an unsuspected strength, a mix of anger, pain... and a strange power tied to Essence.
Determined to understand this gift and rise again, Yahiko leaves his village to join the Sanctuary, the school of the Guardians. There, he meets Rin, a lively and curious girl driven by a thirst for freedom, and Eiji, a taciturn young prodigy haunted by a tragic past.
Together, they face ruthless trials, battle Yokaï, and discover that their world is far more complex — and dangerous — than they ever imagined. Between revelations, sacrifice, and newfound friendships, their initiatory journey will transform them forever.
But as Yahiko begins to uncover the true extent of his power, one question arises: what if this unstable force, buried deep within him, was not just a gift… but the hidden key to a war capable of shattering the balance of the worlds?
