Yokai Awakening

“Somewhere on a quiet hill, beneath the setting sun, a boy races toward destiny—with his father at his side, and magic in his blood.”



Jae Hoon is no ordinary child. With wavy black hair, tan skin, and an imagination too big for his small frame, he’s spent his life listening to stories about mana, warriors, and the ancient power said to awaken in chosen souls. But none of those tales prepared him for the truth: the magic is real—and it’s his turn to claim it.



When Jae Hoon and his father race up a windswept hill for what seems like an innocent moment of play, the world shifts. A forgotten ritual begins. Glowing symbols rise from the ground. And with his father’s glowing eyes watching over him, Jae Hoon takes his first step into a world of energy, legacy, and power.



But awakening a mana core is only the beginning.



In a world where bloodlines hold secrets and ancient forces stir beneath the earth, Jae Hoon must learn what it means to carry a gift that could shape—or shatter—the future. Guided by his fiercely loyal, battle-scarred father, he’ll face trials that test more than magic. They will test his heart, his courage… and the strength of their bond.



A coming-of-age tale steeped in wonder, warmth, and the thrill of awakening power, this is the story of a boy on the brink of becoming something more. And it all begins with a race, a laugh, and a promise on a hill.
