Leash of Gods [ENG]

One hundred and twelve years after the appearance of the Void Creatures, humanity survives behind immense walls, protected by the Eight Kingdoms and their powerful royal families. Outside the walls, poverty rules, and Kenzo, a teenager with no family name and no power, has never known anything but hunger, fear, and survival. At sixteen, as the Revelation approaches, Kenzo is kidnapped along with other youths his age. Their captors are searching for the Phoenix, a legendary being said to be reborn to guide humanity. But when the trial begins, Kenzo discovers that he is not the awaited hero. Instead, he is chosen for something far darker: a nightmare-like test where he must face Void Creatures, forbidden experiments, and enemies capable of breaking his will. To survive, Kenzo will have to make impossible choices. And when he finally returns to the real world, he is no longer the weak boy he once was. He has become an Awakened, but also a dangerous anomaly: a Chimera, capable of gaining power in a way the world considers monstrous. Thanks to Yareth Solenyra, a prince he met during his kidnapping, Kenzo earns a place at the Royal Academy, where young Awakened learn to master their powers before the next test. But in this world of nobles, secrets, and rivalries, Kenzo must hide his true nature while trying to understand what he has become. Between the Void Creatures, the Inquisition, the mysteries of the Phoenix, and the secrets of the gods, Kenzo will have to carve his own path. He is not the hero the world was waiting for. But he may become the one who changes everything.
