The Zodiac Academy BK1: Demon God Of Aries
... The Zodiac. The embodiment of all life, and the foundation upon which existence itself stands. For generations, the world flourished beneath the absolute rule of the Autocrat Clan, whose supremacy came from the Hojisha, the Holder of the Twelve Emblems. But everything changed when Darkness descended upon the Firmament. The universal order collapsed. The Twelve Emblems vanished from the hands of the Autokrator, leaving the once-mighty ruler powerless. As the Void within the Ether awakened, threatening to consume existence itself, the growing Darkness was sealed away. But Darkness never truly sleeps. While the Autocrat Clan desperately searched for the power they had lost, destiny had already chosen its next bearer. The Twelve Emblems resonated within a single child. Born into obscurity, he grows under the protection of parents who conceal the extraordinary power sleeping within him. Yet as his abilities awaken, so do the questions surrounding his existence. Why was he chosen? Why does his power differ from everyone else's? And why do those who sense it fear him? The answers lie within the Ether, a mysterious realm whose secrets have remained hidden even from the greatest beings in existence. As the child matures, Darkness grows stronger. From its depths emerges a Demon God with one purpose: to claim the Twelve Emblems. Now, the child must journey beyond everything he knows to uncover the truth of the Ether, a truth sought by countless lives and even the First Hojisha. But the deeper he ventures, the more terrifying the truth becomes. Because the mystery buried within the Ether is not merely connected to Darkness. It is the reason Darkness exists. And if the Twelve Emblems fall into the wrong hands, the fate of the entire Firmament may be sealed forever.
