Battles rage all across Buryoku as the shadow of a new Divine looms...
Roy faces a new threat outside the Ghost's Tower as death marches on Mountain Moore. Meanwhile, on the continent of Garasu, Doragon and Hoshi battle a host of demons, all trying to break the walls of their fortress city.
With the demons growing more aggressive, whispers of civil war within their walls, and the potential rise of a new Divine, Roy will need to push himself harder than ever.
With the entire world on the brink, weakness is no longer an option. Will Roy and his allies rise to the occasion, or will the Archfiend Sovereign fall before the might of Buryoku...
The seals which have long contained the majority of Buryoku's power, have been shattered, freeing the race of Demons along with them...
With a third Ancient Cavern Beast on the rise, Roy, as the Herald Clan's youngest Sage, is tasked with preventing the rise of a fourth.
Isolated from the rest of his Clan, Roy must lead a mission to the Glacial Bands, traveling through a changed Buryoku in hopes of beating both the Demons, and Beast Factions, in locating the ancient monster.
Although he has advanced to the ranks of the Sages, Roy is not invincible. It will take all he has and more, in order to succeed, and with so much on the line, the humans can no longer afford to lose.
The three continents of Buryoku converge and disaster looms.
A mystery man is free, and the world trembles with the power of the four Ancient Beasts.
Safaia, Tero and Garasu are on a collision course, and the clans of Buryoku scramble to brace for the impact. While Safaia is in an uproar, Roy heads into an ancient library in search of the secrets of advancement and the Path to Gray-Belt. What he discovers may change the course of Buryoku's history forevermore.
The Ancient Beasts are being drained of their untold power by a script array that even the Scions cannot break, and demons are swarming the continent, bent on conquest.
Roy's future looks bleak, but the Archfiend Sage won't give up without a fight.
The Ghost's Tower stands tall in the razed continent of Tero.
Having just escaped the collapsing library and the awakening of a Titan, Roy and the others are shaken, but war waits for no one, even in the midst of a disaster.
Finding themselves secluded in the mountains and unable to reach home, Hermit decides to take a calculated risk. To travel over land and head for the continent of Tero, where he hopes to find the legendary Ghost, a figure from Buryoku's distant past.
Travel is treacherous and Roy soon finds himself separated from the main group, forced down into Buryoku's underworld.
In the meantime, the Demons conspire to kill the allied mortal races' greatest assets: the Scions. With the raging storms of the second Great Disaster jamming communications and blocking access to travel through the chaos, the mortal races are more vulnerable than ever. Their only hope may very well lie with Roy and his team.
Seventy years ago, the world ended in chaos.
Portals appeared on Earth, forcing everyone to make a choice: enter or die. However, if they managed to survive through all twelve planets in the system, they would be allowed to return home. Humanity fought bitterly and, in the end, succeeded, but the cost was high.
Nate lost everyone he’s cared about, and after stepping through the final portal, he makes a shocking discovery. Earth is part of the system and what’s left of humanity is too weak to go home. Returning to the scene of the battle, Nate finds the unexpected – a new portal. A single step takes him back in time, to the day when the end of the world began.
Given the chance to fix the mistakes of his past, Nate will do all he can to ensure that humanity - and more importantly, his family - is strong enough to survive this time around. Manipulating events won't be easy. Knowledge is power but, more importantly, in the System of Twelve, power is power.
Rewriting history was never on Nate’s to-do list, but seeing as he’s the only viable candidate, he’ll give it his best shot or die trying.
After facing impossible odds, Roy finds himself back where he first began his Path in the Martial Arts. Questions abound, and the mystery surrounding his Core's strange behavior plagues his every waking moment.Finding answers will mean confronting a past he'd thought was long behind him. But if he wishes to advance further down the Path of Power, that confrontation is inevitable.
With the rise of the Ancient Cavern Beast, Furea, the Bringer of Fire, comes a threat the likes of which Buryoku hasn't seen in centuries. As if this wasn't bad enough, his armies rise along with him, containing fighters so powerful that even the Scions may not be victorious against them.
While the war rages on, Roy and Aika find themselves transported to a new land, set on a mission by his mother to hunt down the only man who can truly teach Roy how to control his birthright. Finding him may also unlock the only key to defeating the Ancient Beast.
Roy and Aika race against time even as Sovereigns, aligned against his father, scheme and plot his downfall. The toughest battles Roy has ever faced are on the horizon, and facing stronger enemies than ever before, he must advance quickly or face certain death.
The competition between Scions continues, with more on the line than ever before.
Roy and his teammates have long odds to beat, especially seeing as they’re up against the most powerful team in the entire tournament. With little hope of success, Roy will need to push himself as never before, discovering new depths to both his physical and spiritual power.
All the while, Azure watches from on high as ancient seals continue to crumble, heralding the rise of a new age…
The competition between the Scions of Safaia and the Ancient Cavern Beast Furea is about to begin.
Thrown into the tournament, Roy finds that there are more than a few challengers who outclass him. The secret to victory lies between the pages of an ancient book and newly-awakened senses he does not fully understand.
All the while, a sinister voice not belonging to Geon whispers in his mind.
The tournament will test Roy and his allies as never before and with the fate of the continent on the line, they will need to advance, or be washed away in the tide of carnage that will follow.
Three months have passed since the eccentric Hermit agreed to take Roy and Aika on as students. Now, the time has come for them to leave the forest and return to civilization. Neither Roy nor Aika know what to expect in the Itachi capital, but with their powerful teacher by their sides, they reluctantly agree to venture into the city. With all the time that has passed, they don't know how many powerful players are now on the board, nor the looming threat posed by a gathering of monstrous Beasts. The Sovereign of the Herald Clan has also learned that his son is alive and has ordered that he be returned by any means necessary.Roy faces many challenges, most of which Geon believes he will fail. The Dungeon is far from happy that Roy has yet to kill the people on his hit list, and he makes his displeasure known. Daily. The path to Green-Belt will not be an easy one, but if Roy wants to succeed in his ultimate goal, he will need to fight harder than ever before.
After escaping Doragon’s clutches, Roy finds himself stranded in the Windblight, a harsh desert under the control of a rival clan – one that won’t think twice about tossing him in their fighting arena to pay off a perceived debt.
Meanwhile, Aika, Ferry, and Hermit face their own problems in the form of retribution from the Itachi clan. While Hermit might be a Sovereign, his sister carries the same title.
With enemies closing in on all sides, the three of them must work hard to stay ahead and continue on the trail of their abducted friend.
