Veil of the Fallen Shadows
When Kazuki Takahiro is suddenly thrust into a world of brutal survival and ancient curses, he discovers that his new abilities come with a terrible cost: every use of his spectral powers chips away at his humanity, bringing him closer to becoming a wraith.
In this desolate realm, Kazuki meets powerful allies and enemies alike, each bound by abilities as destructive as they are tempting. There’s Lira, the Bloodbound Sorceress, whose dark contracts keep her alive at the price of blood. Daelan, the Void Reaver, whose insatiable hunger for power leaves him hollow with every conquest. And Seraphine, the Harbinger of Shadows, an ancient spirit who offers guidance but hides her own grim secrets.
As they face monstrous threats, deadly rituals, and the twisted politics of a decaying kingdom, Kazuki learns that his very soul is at stake. Only by mastering his powers without succumbing to them can he hope to survive—and maybe, just maybe, free himself and his companions from the dark fate they’ve inherited.
In a world where the line between salvation and damnation is blurred, Kazuki must decide: How much of his humanity is he willing to sacrifice to protect the people he cares about?
