Fifty-nine years ago, the world collapsed in fire and blood. From the ashes, powers awakened—and the Exorcists were born to control them.
Hikaru Kage was supposed to be nothing. A forgotten heir of the weakest clan, branded a mistake, condemned to obscurity. Yet sealed within him are the Five Gods of Emotion—a force so dangerous it could save the world… or burn it to ash.
When destiny drags him into Aether Academy, the legendary crucible of heroes, Hikaru is thrown into the lowest class—mocked, underestimated, discarded. But he carries within him a secret that no one can ignore forever.
Enemies lurk in the shadows. Rival academies sharpen their blades. And the so-called "trash" of Class F may just become the spark that ignites a war across nations.
In a world where power decides everything, one boy stands with nothing but the emotions he cannot even feel.
When gods awaken within his soul… whose destiny will he choose? Salvation—or destruction?
