GUARDIAN

A short story.

In the neon-soaked ruins of a future Frisco, enlightenment walks hand-in-hand with damnation.

Kimio was once a street orphan, now a Seeker trained by the secretive Akashic Brotherhood. Tasked with recovering an ancient, dangerous artifact, he descends into a rain-drenched world of sorcery, ambition, and forbidden power.

Across the city, a power-hungry sorcerer prepares to open a cursed relic—the Casket of Tsuikio—in pursuit of instant ascension. What he unleashes is no mere demon, but a cosmic horror that offers dominion over an entire universe... one built of pain, sorrow, and twisted truths.

What unfolds is not a battle, but a reckoning.

Part dystopian fable, part metaphysical thriller, Guardian is a cerebral sci-fi fantasy steeped in mysticism, memory, and madness. Perfect for fans of Ghost in the Shell, The Sandman, and Mage: The Ascension.
