Ascension. Fifty years ago, the night sky turned bronze and seven circles across the earth rose from the ground as if to meet it, gifting a select few that inhabit them the magic of Aether.
Tokyo is one of the circles that ascended—the only metropolis in the world to do so. This gave Japan the edge against every other nation when it came to magic. But when the country’s foremost researcher of the Ascension dies, he decides to bequeath his life’s work—the truth of the world—to whoever wins his challenge.
Rei Tsukihara, an assistant detective, is forced to participate in this mad power struggle for the truth. He will need his wits, his reasoning and his exalted abilities to win. And perhaps he'll uncover his mysterious past along the way. His trump card: eyes that can peer into a person’s life… and death.

Hello all!
Tokyo Alter Fiction is my entry in the Urban Fantasy Writing Contest.
I worked super hard drafting an outline for this novel in early November, then I wrote like a madman and finished the whole story by December. It was some of the best times I had writing. I love the story I came up with, and the characters even more. And the setting, man, I could write so many stories in this world.
I initially wanted to publish chapters when I first finished the story in December, but work, life and the holidays kept me extremely busy. It wasn't until January that I found time again to proofread, make changes and clean stuff up. Even then I was juggling time between writing and work. But alas, that is life. I juggled, lost a TON of sleep, but I made it work somehow. It was worth every second. So now I publish in the last five days of the contest.
I hope you all love this world and its characters as much as I did. They will forever be in my heart.
