A street-fighting teen inherits the powers of a deity—and gets drafted into a monster war no one is ready for. Bastion Kurosawa is a delinquent with a chip on his shoulder and a mean right hook. He usually doesn’t throw the first punch, but he always throws the last.
Except, he’s helpless when attacked by an escaped dungeon monster, unless he takes a deal: obtain a long-lost power that violates the laws of magic—in exchange for becoming the champion of an ancient dragon goddess.
Now he’s got a target on his back and powers that could save the world—or destroy it.
But he's not alone. Bastion is aided by the Deadmen, an enigmatic organization that rescues lost dungeoneers and hunts the monsters that escape. With their help, he begins the long journey to master his newfound power.
He’ll need all the help he can get.
For war is coming.
And Bastion will be fighting on the front lines.
For the first time in five millennia, man shall walk the Path of the Dragon.
Some quick housekeeping:
- Dialogue written in quotation marks "like this" is in Tethic (English, more or less).
- Dialogue written in hook brackets 「like this」 is in Uroko (Japanese, more or less).
- I wrote all of this myself. I wanted to really nail bilingualism in this story, so I did a lot of research into Japanese. My own Japanese skill isn't that great, but I grew up in Japan, so I know enough to research idioms and kanji. Also, while my Japanese skill isn't that great, I speak, read, and write in Thai quite well, so I am bilingual myself.
While my cover was created with the assistance of AI, I can verify that this story is fully human-written.
