fragments of shadows

**Volume 3: "The Painful Inheritance"** After 900 years of forced peace, **Kick**, the omnipotent Creator, decides to shape his legacy: three angelic children with cosmic powers, each carrying a piece of his heart and his deepest secrets. **Hugel**, the Angel of Light, is born as a symbol of redemption; **Micael**, the Rebel, brings the flame of doubt and revolt; and **Huguel**, the Angel of Darkness, is the personification of Kick's past — his connection to **Carmen Sutton**, the daughter who died and whom he could never forget. However, the perfect creation begins to crumble. Huguel bleeds a prophetic black fluid, foreshadowing a death that involves Kick; Hugel discovers that his light can destroy as much as save; and Michael, thirsty for power, discovers fragments of a dark past that Kick tried to erase. As the Creator struggles with mental decay, remembering less and less of Carmen, his children are faced with dilemmas: **obey**, **rebel** or **sacrifice**. Betrayal, redemption and the memory of a lost love threaten not only the cosmos, but Kick's very essence - proving that even a god cannot escape the destiny he carries within himself. *A legacy of light and darkness*, *a family that carries the past in its blood* and **an echoing question**: *Is the Creator God... or just another victim of his own mistakes?*

In the distant future, humanity faces an unrelenting alien invasion from across the solar system. Planets, moons, and even minor celestial bodies like Ceres and Titan have become hives of strange and powerful extraterrestrial beings. In response, mankind awakens an ancient spiritual power: the Khodam System. Rai, a student at the Buana Khodam Exorcist Academy, is about to undergo a sacred rite—awakening his first khodam at the age of 17. Each khodam is a unique entity, taking the form of a woman, humanoid, monster, sacred beast, or even alien lifeform from another dimension. By merging with a khodam, a human can survive in space, engage in battle, and confront alien threats head-on. Most crucially, each khodam is spiritually linked to a specific planet. The more khodams a person awakens, the more planets they can access and explore. Thus begins a new era—not just of survival, but of interplanetary conquest. Rai quickly gains attention not only for the stunning appearance of his first khodam, a radiant winged woman who controls fireflies of light, but also because she is spiritually linked to Mars — the planet closest to Earth. His rare compatibility with Mars draws the attention of global powers. As Rai and his companions uncover the secrets behind the alien invasion and the true origins of the khodam, he must fight not only for survival — but for the future of Earth and all planets beyond.

The harsh wind howled outside, mirroring the turmoil in Itsuki's tiny heart. He wasn't supposed to be here, in this cramped nursery in Konoha, Year 12. He was a die-hard Naruto fan, transported inexplicably into the very world he'd devoured in countless manga and anime marathons. Worse, he was a baby. A baby named Itsuki Hayashi, whose parents, he'd just overheard, had perished in the war. Itsuki, however, wasn't just an orphan; he was a soul from another world, trapped in an infant body with no chakra, no jutsu, and only a cryptic "Ninja Training System" for company. The system's message, "Please claim your Newbie Gift Pack," and the faint glow of a wooden chest beside his crib, were his only tangible clues in this harsh new reality.
