Aether — Volume 1: The Song of Whispers

In a world where fairies manifest as living weapons, the balance between power and emotion defines destiny.
At Aetherion Duel Academy, only those who form true bonds with their fairy partners can rise as Aether Blades — wielders capable of channeling the spirits’ essence into steel and song.

Elyas Riku, a quiet but fiercely determined student, enters the academy haunted by a promise from his past. When he awakens Lira, a gentle but mysterious fairy whose presence feels oddly human, his life takes a turn neither of them expected. Bound by soul and heart, their connection blurs the line between wielder and weapon — friendship and something deeper.

As rival students clash for supremacy and politics stir within the Academy, Elyas and Lira must navigate duels, betrayals, and the growing truth behind Aetherion’s founding:
that the greatest power is born not from strength… but from trust, emotion, and the courage to defy fate.
