When the leader of a powerful village uncovers a dark plot by a rising demon organization, he learns that they seek to wage war against the five great villages. Their goal: to claim the sacred keys hidden within each village — keys that keep the ancient god of destruction, Hades, imprisoned.
Realizing the threat could bring about the end of the world, he sends urgent warnings to the leaders of all five villages, calling them to prepare for the battle that will determine the fate of humanity itself.
This light novel is an incredible read. The story had me hooked from the very beginning with its unique world-building and engaging plot. I really loved the characters — each one felt distinct and well-developed, with motivations and personalities that made me care about what happened to them. The pacing is great, balancing action, emotion, and suspense in a way that kept me turning the pages. I’m especially impressed by how the author blends moments of humor and drama so naturally. I'm genuinely excited to see how the story progresses in future volumes. It has so much potential, and I hope it gets a manga adaptation soon — it absolutely deserves one. I can already imagine how amazing some of the scenes will look in visual form. Overall, a fantastic start to what I believe will be a standout series
