Tenshiko Academy is no ordinary Academy—it’s a battlefield. A place where teenagers are turned into Kageshiki: elite hunters trained to fight the monstrous Shikiban. Reika Kagetsu didn’t come here to be a hero. Abused since childhood, she shut off her emotions long ago. All she wants now is the thrill of danger, and Tenshiko delivers it in blood-soaked doses.
But beneath the harsh training and deadly tests lies something darker—secrets no one dares speak. As Reika survives trial after brutal trial, she begins to uncover truths that tie her to the Shikiban in ways she never imagined.
The academy may have taken her in, but it might be the very place that destroys her.
When monsters whisper and the line between human and beast begins to blur, Reika must face a question no warrior wants to answer: What if the real threat was inside her all along?
[The End is Now]
This isn't a story about heroes. It's about survivors. About people pushed past their limits, breaking and rebuilding in a world that doesn’t care if they live or die. Tenshiko Academy is cruel, and the Shikiban are worse—but sometimes, the real monsters are the ones we become to stay alive. If you came looking for light, you won’t find it here. Just the whispers left behind after everything burns.
