Ashes of the Chosen - Volume 1

They summoned heroes, and they all failed. Now the world calls its final answer—a prisoner with no sword, no prophecy, and a chained book of judgment. Condemned to die in a ruined land, Itsuki is granted one chance to survive: judge the broken world that summoned him. Guided by a godlike Dragon of Wisdom and accompanied by a kindhearted prisoner who still believes in hope, Itsuki travels a land haunted by failed legends. As he searches for the people he lost in the summoning, he must weigh what this world has become… and whether it deserves to be saved.
