Kokuro

After receiving a message from Rin ASHIBA, the girl he's in love with, Sora ISOSHI goes to a classroom at his high school where Rin had asked him to meet. But when he gets to the classroom, he finds himself alone. Thinking it was a joke, he leaves the room, but once outside, in what should be the corridor of his high school, he sees instead a large white room where, sitting on a throne at the back of the room, is Rin ASHIBA.

She tells him that he has been chosen by the Tower to try and climb it and become its new king.

But as he wasn't born into this world, he doesn't have the ability to use what all the inhabitants of the planet are able to use, the Ushi.

So Sora is given a strange power. A power with which he will try to climb the Tower, trying to fulfil Rin's wish and thus become the new King of the Tower.

The Tower King

Sora was speechless for a moment. He hadn't expected to meet a Gold rank so soon, in the middle of the street, let alone know his first name. Nor did he expect there to be just one in the whole Order. 


Seeing Sora's stunned expression, Jarek let out a small laugh. “Surprised? You see, kid, I'm actually pretty special in the Order. I suppose meeting someone like me on the street must shake you up a bit, right?” added Jarek, hands in his pockets, his smirk still present. “But you'd better pull yourself together. If you want to stand out here, you'll need a lot more than a protective ring and an alert mind.” 


Sora swallowed, trying to control the wave of admiration and apprehension rising within him. “And... why are you interested in me, exactly?”
