Ashes of a Forgotten Life
The world is divided into ten powerful countries, each ruled by its own laws, strength, and ideology. Above them stand the Ten Mortal Gods—beings who once walked the same paths as humans, warriors who reached the peak of power and became living legends. Some protect their nations as symbols of balance and order. Others watch from the shadows, feared as much as they are revered.
Together, the countries maintain a fragile peace, enforced by rankings, bounties, and power systems that decide who lives freely—and who is hunted.
Within this world lies a prestigious academy, a neutral ground where future warriors are trained, evaluated, and prepared for the dangers beyond its walls. It is here that Izan Arakami begins his journey. Unlike most students, Izan carries a quiet strength shaped by loss and restraint, hiding a power that does not belong to any god, country, or prophecy.
By his side is Rin Amagawa, a young girl whose bloodline ties her to a cursed legacy and a bounty that places her at the center of growing conflict. Though unaware of the full weight she carries, her existence alone threatens to disrupt the balance between nations.
Watching over them is Sayaka, a guardian spirit bound by forgotten memories and unspoken promises. Once involved in events tied to the Mortal Gods themselves, she now protects Izan and Rin while slowly confronting fragments of a past she was never meant to remember.
