Itsuki Ryoma died with a bamboo sword in his hand and a dream in his heart. A master of the blade in a world that scoffed at tradition. No fans. No glory. His dojo fell into ruin, his name erased from competition records, and his final match watched by no one. “If only I was born in an era where the sword meant something…” As the rain poured over his lifeless body in the broken hall… “Wish granted,” whispered a voice in the dark.

How do Rylin and Jase's paths eventually cross on the circuit, and what kind of initial interaction do they have given their very different current states of mind?

A forgotten kingdom. A sacred vow. A journey home across centuries. Centuries ago, the fate of a young Vietnamese noblewoman became entwined with the rise and fall of the Champa kingdom. Her name was Thanh Mai—a girl of silken grace and iron spirit, whose heart beat with forbidden love and a fierce loyalty to truth. Her story was nearly lost… until one man dared to follow its echo. In modern-day California, Kien Quoc—a quiet Vietnamese-American engineer—receives his father’s dying wish: return to Vietnam and uncover the roots of their family’s past. His journey leads him into the heart of central Vietnam, where sacred towers sleep beneath moss and myth, and where the memory of Champa lingers in song, stone, and silence. Guided by dreams and joined by Sari, a Balinese journalist equally devoted to Southeast Asia’s lost civilizations, Kien stumbles upon a revelation that challenges history, identity, and the very idea of nationhood. Along the way, they unearth a secret chamber beneath the holy valley of My Son—and within it, a truth that changes everything. Told in sweeping, poetic prose, Last Song of the Nation weaves together two timelines: the fall of Champa through the eyes of a young woman trapped between war and destiny, and a contemporary quest for heritage, love, and healing. At its core lies a question that haunts generations: What do we owe the past, and what can it still teach us today? This is a novel of memory and migration, of culture and compassion, of spirits that never die and songs that still carry across the wind.

SYNOPSIS Overall Synopsis: Divine Embers Rising In a vast human galactic federation spanning 28 populated planets, Jin Kazematsu, an unassuming young orphan from Celest, awakens a mysterious coiling dragon-shaped sigil. Unbeknownst to most, this sigil marks him as a wielder of the ancient and incredibly potent Azure Divine Dragon bloodline, a secret that must be fiercely guarded due to a terrifying enemy that hunts down such 'Invincibles'. Jin’s awakening leads him to the Dragon-Phoenix Academy, a prestigious institution where he embarks on a unique dual path. He cultivates Élantera, the versatile energy manifesting as a variable aura, synonymous with pressure, allowing for energy projection, barriers, and eventual flight. Simultaneously, he develops Inner Might, a grueling physical path (unknown to academy instructors) that grants immense resilience, unique traits, and its own form of pressure and aura, demanding 20 times the effort of normal training. While Inner Might empowers his body, it does not alter his innate Emerald/Green/Azure flames, Destruction, and Pure Élantera attributes, which evolve into a terrifying white flame. He further enhances his power by mastering intents of Void, Lightning, and Spirit, which layer vivid features onto his Élantera aura, and will eventually eliminate a stamina drawback from his ultimate combined power state. Due to his Azure Divine Dragon origin, Jin will also manifest unique draconic abilities like Dragon Breath and Dragon Claw attacks. His appearance in his transformed states varies, shifting to a bulkier, more muscular form when combining Élantera and Inner Might transformations, or a chiseled, raw power form when using Inner Might alone. As Jin's power grows, so does his diverse harem, a loyal and supportive circle including his best friend Elena (likely his first), Meilin, Dean Lan Yue (with whom his relationship will be consummated), female instructors/dorm heads, and other women of varying ages and statuses within the academy and beyond. Their relationships are built on genuine attraction and deep affection, with intimate moments depicted poetically and moments of pampering emphasizing emotional connection, all while adhering to content guidelines. Jin himself is a non-manipulative protagonist whose subtle, unintentional aura evokes passion in females, a power he learns to control. Jin’s journey involves rigorous academy life (75% combat-focused, including encouraged spars and meditation, but also fun and relaxation), inter-cadet challenges, missions from the Inventory Mart, and inter-academy and inter-galactic competitions. He won't win every battle outside of competitions, learning and growing from losses. During his time at the academy, he uncovers the truth of his origin as an Azure Scales Warrior and the danger his bloodline poses. He manifests formidable weapons: an Emerald flame-like essence spear (with a silver, green, and black armored form), a multi-form Absolution Blade: Drakon's Hunger (with a dark, menacing armored form outlined in black/green flames), and later, ten black rings with a green glow. Elena, too, develops her Guardian Aegis Set armor and other attributes. As his power approaches the Dean's, their hidden relationship will be revealed publicly after his 4th year graduation. The grand narrative culminates with the awakening of a sealed, world-devastating enemy, leading to a galactic war across the human federation. Jin, achieving his Perfect Transcendent Power State (a powerful fusion of Élantera and Inner Might, with two Élantera and one Inner Might transformation, culminating in a rainbow-edged, pure white-eyed final form during the last major battle), leads humanity's alliance to victory. Upon graduation, he becomes a legendary figure, shaping a new era of peace and prosperity across the stars alongside his devoted harem.
