by Astranor Shinjitsu
In a world where Astras determine fate, power, and status, Prince Rayan Ashvar is born without one. Mocked as the kingdom's greatest failure, he spends his life living in the shadows of prodigies and heroes. But on the day of his awakening, an ancient power thought lost to history chooses him. The Dharma Astra. An Astra older than gods. An Astra that sees truth. As forgotten ruins awaken and monstrous Hollows emerge from the darkness, Rayan discovers that the history of the world is a lie. The legendary First Age was erased. The gods are hiding secrets. And an ancient war that once nearly destroyed existence is about to begin again. Hunted by assassins, betrayed by kingdoms, and exiled from his homeland, Rayan must grow stronger, uncover the truth behind the First Age, and master Astras that should never have existed. Because beyond the Divine Gate, something is waiting. And this time, humanity may not survive.
