Continens Animarum

​In the vast world of Continens Animarum, destiny is decided at the age of six during the "Soul Awakening." For millennia, the Soul Ascendants have ruled the battlefield, hunting powerful Soul Beasts to absorb their "Soul Rings" and manifest god-like abilities. However, the rise of the Aether Weavers-geniuses with weak soul power who merged spiritual energy with advanced machinery-has sparked a cold war between primal tradition and scientific evolution.

​Despite their friction, both factions serve under the golden banner of the Celestine Dominion. But the era of peace shattered in 1860 when a cataclysmic explosion birthed the Shroud of Nihility-an eerie, sentient barrier of absolute darkness that swallowed an entire imperial expedition of eleven flying ships.

​Decades later, as the Empire stands on high alert, a lone young man with no past emerges from the Shroud's suffocating silence. He quietly enrolls in the Ascension Citadel, an elite academy for "monsters" of talent, carrying secrets that could either save the continent or surrender it to the encroaching void.
