Kiss X Reaper
Auxiliary Notice!
For deeper character insight and world context, please read the Auxiliary chapters.
This story is fast-paced in progression, but its combat sequences are deliberately extended, focused on motion, power shifts, and visual storytelling rather than dialogue. Fights are not conversation-heavy; they are written to feel cinematic, tense, and immersive, emphasizing action and atmosphere over exposition.
I’ll do my best to keep every chapter engaging without slowing the narrative momentum.
Hello, Reader!
If you enjoy ancient lore, dense and structured magic systems, action-driven storytelling, expansive cosmology, multinational settings, and bold color-focused imagery, paired with long, visually rich battles that reward imagination and attention to detail, you might enjoy this story.
Before diving in, please read the synopsis below. Sankyuu!
World Notes!
Hunters are recognized as wielders of the ancient and formidable Armament Arts, historic armaments forged through faith, discipline, and coexistence with spirits. These Arts are the primary means by which Hunters combat Deviants, channeling Natural Energy to manifest power, precision, and spiritual authority. Note: not everyone can be a hunter. As not anyone can inherit or wield an Armament Art nor not everyone can channel Natural Energy.
Deviants are Dark Energy illuminators and eaters, predatory entities that feed on the opposing Natural Energy, the force that sustains life and balance across the world.
Ancient Eyes are old deities- beings who have existed for hundreds to thousands of years, created to uphold balance and wield immense authority.
Or at least, that was their intended purpose. They are folklore entities, widely known and feared, each ruling over vast domains across the globe.
If these concepts intrigue you, then don’t miss this story.
Synopsis!
Yukie Saku, the Ancient Eye of Snow and Cold, has been stripped of much of her power. Witnessing the warning of an approaching catastrophe, she arrives at the Grand Opera House seeking for answers and assistance.There, she encounters Makoto Shirogane- the polite yet unreadable director of the opera house, descended from a once-great samurai house. To most, he appears merely formal and composed.
That impression is far from the truth.
Makoto is a Hunter of Deviants, a man over two centuries old, and a figure whose history and influence run far deeper than anyone expects.
When Yukie warns him of an approaching doom, a force that devours Natural Energy and threatens entire lands, Makoto agrees to intervene. But only under one condition. Yukie must assist him in on the looming threat and mystery that is also coming to his Grand Opera House.
Stripped of her former power and sight, the goddess must find new ways to be useful- through wit, ritual, and fragile alliances, while honoring the contract she binds herself to.
Thus, an uneasy accord forms:
An ancient deity asking aid from a mortal she cannot fully understand,
and a man of strict formalism binding himself to a divine contract.
Their partnership will draw them into political intrigue, civilization-scale corporate structures that quietly support the world, and escalating supernatural conflicts, where awakenings are battles of will, and power is proven through action rather than words.
This is Kiss X Reaper
A story of old gods, long lives, and the cost of power.
