Of a pirate who never asked to return home, and a family that may not be ready for the man he has become. (Dark fantasy, sharp dialogue, and unexpected bonds await. The seas are just the beginning.)

The time slowly ticked down while he had yet to complete his quest. He was then transported to a desert, surrounded by wild wolves. He narrowly escaped without being ripped apart, and that’s when a notification popped up. [Congratulations on not dying! For that, your body has made small improvements.

But in Tokyo’s shadows, obsession might be the only thing keeping him alive. When a cloaked man known only as Wraith shatters the line between myth and reality, Seigi catches his first glimpse of the thread—an otherworldly force that bends time and matter to its will. That moment ignites a path that pulls him into a hidden war between the Guild, guardians of a power long kept secret, and the Veil, a ruthless order determined to claim it for themselves. Trained by new allies—Hana, the quiet forensic with eyes that see further than she admits; Riku, the reckless fighter hiding pain behind bravado; and Aya, the gentle healer who reminds him of his humanity—Seigi is forced to confront not just enemies in the dark, but the cost of the power awakening in his veins. As the Veil strikes back with calculated terror and the city’s streets drown in blood, Seigi must decide what kind of symbol he’s willing to become. Hero. Weapon. Or warning. Because the thread does not wait. And every choice he makes pulls him closer to the light—or into the abyss.

And a sharp, skeptical girl named Michelle might, eventually, matter too. Progression fantasy with status panes [SEQ], Parisian myth, capture mechanics, and a rule-bending trump card. No harem.
