Yahiko and the Nine Realms
In a world where Essence, a mystical energy, governs the balance between realities, secret forces wage a war against the Yokaï, nightmarish creatures capable of plunging humanity into chaos.
Yahiko, a thirteen-year-old boy, lives a peaceful life in a remote village with his mother and sister. But when a Yokaï emerges from the shadows and devastates his home, everything changes. The attack awakens in him an unexpected 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, a mysterious school. 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.
Through revelations, sacrifices, and newfound friendships, their initiatory journey will change them forever. But as Yahiko begins to understand the full extent of his powers, one question lingers: what if this unstable force, buried deep within him, is not just a gift… but the hidden key to a war capable of shattering the balance of worlds?
