Hey Alex, is there anything you're really good at? -Huh? Me?- Yeah, something no one has ever beaten you at doing. -Haa, how could that be, there's always someone better than you at everything- Come on, don't be humble, tell us. Yeah, man, spill it out. -Well... if you really want to know, then I'll tell you- Mh, mh, we've known each other for years now, are you still shy? -There is something no one has ever been able to do as I do- -lying.- -No one is better than me at lying- Huh? That's a pretty weird answer. Not what we expected for sure. Then, what was the biggest lie you ever told without getting caught? -Well, there are many of them... no one has ever suspected a thing- Stop being mysterious, we're waaay too old for this bullshit. -...- -What if I told you my real name's not Alex?- ... -Yes, I'm a criminal hunted in countless countries, they've been on my tail for decades now, but they haven't been able to sniff a single cent of my billions- -Alex is nothing but an alias I took to get close to you because of your powerful families, it makes you worth lying to- ... HAHAHA. PFFTTT. Alright, alright, we get it, you did tell us in the past you were quite good at acting. Yeah, man, your face looked so serious when you said that, I almost believed you. Well, in a sense, even acting counts as lying, so he was telling the truth. Ah! I only noticed now that you said that... You couldn't even bring yourself to lie to us. Ever since we were young, you've always been known for telling the truth. 'Of course... I didn't lie to you. The best way to lie is, after all, to tell the truth.' "Alex" raised his head to the sky, gazing at the distant stars. How many years had passed since he started living this life? Amid all the different aliases, friends, and lies, he could barely remember his identity. 'Is this the price to pay for having lied all my life? Now, even when I am honest, no one seems willing to believe me.'

The choice has been made—the Noctusborn has awakened. But the price only becomes visible now. Elandor, the former King of Kaelon, now walks as a creature of darkness through the nights of Melandor. He hides in the bodies of the living, tears families apart from within, makes entire villages vanish. In Yulong, no one suspects the danger—until a blood-drenched rider arrives with a warning, and no one listens. Until Liyen, the archer, sits in a cell with a truth no one believes. Until Yaoming stays behind, so that others might flee. Every choice is a sacrifice. Every rescue has its price. The clock is ticking. And this time, time itself becomes the enemy.

The fjord lay calm, its surface like polished glass, reflecting the leaden clouds hanging in the sky. Flocks of ravens circled back and forth, heralding the bitter northern winds soon to sweep southward. This was the very first scene the protagonist beheld after traveling through time to ninth-century Scandinavia. He had become nothing more than an ordinary self-sufficient farmer, with only a barren, desolate wheat field to his name. For centuries, the glory of the Roman Empire had crumbled into dust. The world lay shattered, kings waged endless wars against one another, and in this turbulent, dark Middle Ages, his first task was simply to survive—then, somehow, to find a way to end the chaos… ..........

Yokai Awakening follows the rise and fall of a bloodline tied to both glory and ruin. Long ago, Prince Mydeimos Crimson, the firstborn of the Crimson King, stood as the strongest of his kind—a ruler blessed with love, family, and unmatched power. But in a single tragic moment, he lost everything: his wife, his children, and even his own life. No one, not even the Crimson King himself, knows how he truly died. Centuries later, the Crimson name is no longer a symbol of peace but of fear—monsters seeking to reshape the world in their image. In this new era, a boy named Jae Hoon is born. Unlike the corrupted legacy of the Crimsons, Jae cherishes his family, dreams of protecting those he loves, and longs to create a better world. From childhood, he learns magic, awakens his mana core, and begins uncovering the hidden truths of the world—and of himself. But fate is cruel. Betrayed and humiliated by Princess Liora in the royal capital, Jae returns home only to find his village in flames. There, before his very eyes, a hooded figure slaughters his people and rips his father apart in the most horrific way imaginable. Cornered at the edge of a cliff, Jae faces certain death—until a mysterious system appears before him with a single question: “Do you wish to awaken?” That moment marks the beginning of Jae Hoon’s Yokai Awakening—a rebirth into a world filled with political issues,power hungry, deadly yokai beasts, and unending war. Yet even with his new strength, peace is fragile. To survive, Jae must endure betrayal, political strife, and battles that push him to his very limits, all while uncovering the mysteries of his reincarnation, the Crimsons, and his own destiny. At its heart, Yokai Awakening is a tale of fantasy, action, reincarnation, and hope—where one boy dares to challenge fate itself to forge the world of his dreams.
