Looking up in the Mortal World

Heroic spirits are the incarnation of laws, not gods. They protect the world and bind it. Seven hundred years ago, the "last gatekeeper" sealed the demon god with himself in exchange for the continent's survival. Seven hundred years later, the seal has loosened and fear has spread. The prince of the Holy Kingdom, Cain Oren, was exiled to a border village. He wanted to spend the rest of his life in the ordinary, but he was accidentally selected by the heroic spirit Atherian, and the mark of guardianship was branded on his chest. He didn't know that this power should have been awakened when he was born - it was suppressed by Metis, the Weaver of Destiny, with silk threads for twelve years. Because there are three laws sleeping in his soul: protection, royal power, and oath. He is the first "triple resonance" person in thousands of years and the only one who can possibly break destiny. But fate was not on his side. His brother Osmund was forgotten by fear and sacrificed the entire city, merging with the reverberation "Echo" of the demon god. Archbishop Serasius of the Holy War Brotherhood holds high the banner of "human autonomy" and wants to destroy all statues of heroic spirits. Fear spreads across the land, villages kill each other, and cities descend into madness. But the heroic spirits chose silence - they exited. Kane must face it all alone. There is no god to rely on, no destiny to entrust. All he could believe were the blacksmiths in the Thousand Forging Valley, the Fateweaver who had lost his ability to predict, the general of the Atonement Army who was burdened with sin, the orphan girl who built a garden between the forest and the village, and his own mortal heart. It's a war against fear—not about eliminating it, but about learning to live with it. It's daybreak and it's time for people to walk on their own.
