Ascendancy Chronicles
In the sprawling metropolis of Mizugai, where neon lights mask the lurking shadows, ancient clans secretly wage war against malevolent entities known as the Wraithborn-monsters born from humanity's darkest emotions. Yusei Shimizu, the last scion of the Kurotsuki Clan, finds himself thrust into this hidden world after discovering his family's tragic legacy and unlocking the forbidden Void Arts.
Armed with a katana and daggers crafted by his late father, the greatest swordsmith of the Kurotsuki Clan, Yusei must navigate a web of rival clans, political betrayal, and relentless Wraithborn attacks. His allies-a stoic frost strategist, a fiery wind manipulator, and a battle-hardened mentor-stand by his side, but the road ahead is perilous.
As Yusei trains to master the Void and unravel the truth behind the Council of Clans' dark schemes, he must confront enemies both human and monstrous. With his mother's emblem close to his heart and his father's weapons in hand, Yusei carries the weight of his clan's legacy and the hope of uniting a fractured world.
But the shadows grow deeper, and the Wraithborn King stirs. Can Yusei rise to the challenge, or will the Void consume him like it did so many before? In a battle where trust is scarce, and enemies are everywhere, the line between light and darkness blurs. The fate of the Kurotsuki-and the world-rests in Yusei's hands.
