Description

In Yomigawa, power is not magic or swords, but Kagami, a mirror of the soul that reflects the wounds, lies, and deepest hopes of its owner. Kagami is a primordial element bound to the human soul, appearing as an invisible shadow. Taking the form of a fire dragon for the vengeful, a crack of ice for the cold-hearted, or wings of light for those who still believe in the illusion of goodness. However, Kagami is not a gift but a prison designed by the powerful to establish a hierarchy of power.

Yomigawa society is divided into Soul Castes. Tenkei, the owners of divine Kagami, live like gods with magnificent temples and elite troops. Seijō, nobles with powerful Kagami, become Tenkei's right-hand men in oppressing the people. Heimin, the commoners, are forced to contribute soul energy to fuel the Kagami of the rulers. While Muzai, who do not have Kagami, are considered trash — sold as slaves, ritual sacrifices, or experimentation materials. The powerful clans worsen the destruction. The Tsuyukusa Clan, a peaceful land of art. The Haragami Clan, masters of elf and dwarf magic. The Ryūga clan, a volcanic country, made Kagami fire as a war machine.

In this world, kagami and koiji are the rulers.

Becoming a light novel writer is not an easy journey, but every word you write is a step towards a world you build yourself. Don't let doubts cloud the imagination you've created. Even though sometimes you feel like no one is reading or caring, the contradiction is that there is always one reader out there who needs your story to survive today. Keep writing, because the world you create can be a refugee, a hope, or even an inspiration for many people.
