Summary

Fragments: Echoes of the First Eight years after his father’s sudden death, Ryu is still haunted by the same recurring dream: a dark forest, faceless figures hidden in the shadows, and his father’s voice calling his name. His life should be ordinary—school, friends, arguments with his three stepsisters, and the warm but fragile family dinners his stepmother Mai desperately tries to keep together. But when Ryu begins hearing voices and experiencing strange blackouts, that ordinary life slowly starts to fall apart. In a world where supernatural abilities have existed in secret for thousands of years, Ryu discovers that he may be connected to an ancient bloodline whose power has been shattered into countless fragments. As mysterious organizations begin searching for him, fanatics seek to destroy all ability users, and dangerous individuals pursue power for their own selfish goals, Ryu is forced into a hidden war he never knew existed. The more memories return, the more he begins to question everything he believed about his father’s death—and about himself. Fragments: Echoes of the First is a character-driven supernatural light novel about family, grief, hidden powers, mystery, romance, and the dangerous truth buried within forgotten bloodlines. Note: The story begins as a mystery and slice-of-life light novel. Later chapters will contain mature themes and explicit adult content.

Prologue – The Last Memory

Prologue

Blackness.

The monotonous sound of rain fills the silence.

...

Drops fall onto the soaked earth.

The wind rushes through the towering trees.

Slowly, a blurry image begins to appear.

A dense forest.

It is dark.

Only a few rays of light break through the thick canopy above.

I am running.

My breathing is fast and uneven.

My shoes sink into the muddy ground with every step.

"Ryu: Dad...!"

No answer.

I keep running.

My heartbeat grows faster with every passing second.

Then, between the trees, I suddenly see a figure.

"Ryu: Dad!"

I try to run toward him.

But before I can reach him...

I stop.

Several people dressed in black are standing around him.

Their faces are completely hidden in shadow.

I can't see who they are.

Only their voices reach me.

...

"...too dangerous..."

...

"...the bloodline..."

...

"...he must not..."

My father is kneeling on the ground.

Slowly, he raises his head.

His eyes meet mine.

He smiles.

A sad smile.

"Dad: ...Ryu..."

I start moving again.

"Ryu: Dad! NO!"

Suddenly, one of the strangers raises their hand.

A blinding white light swallows the entire forest.

I raise my arms to shield my face.

"Ryu: NOOOOO!!"
