THE AUTHORITY OF DEATH

Death is inevitable. Ren Arakawa has always been fascinated by that truth. While others dream of power, glory, or immortality, he seeks only one answer: why must everything end? When a mysterious phenomenon known as the Great Silence shakes reality itself, Ren is chosen by an ancient force beyond human understanding and transported to a world ruled by Authorities, hidden powers capable of rewriting the laws of existence. At the prestigious Elysara Academy, Ren becomes entangled in secrets older than civilization, forgotten ruins, and a cosmic mystery that stretches beyond the stars themselves. Because somewhere in the darkness beyond reality, something ancient has been searching. And it has finally found him.
