The Immortals' Mask

Sataou was not chasing glory. He had a sharp mind, a relaxed spirit, and a place in the Shengu Sect earned through quiet dedication rather than burning ambition. His Void affinity demanded emotional control — and the world refused to let him stay whole. When that balance shatters, what remains loses what makes it human. This is not a tale of ascension. It is the story of what is lost along the way — and the rise of a man who will stop at nothing to sever the chains of a captive world.

Still reeling from his losses, Sataou presses on with one goal: bring the Shengu Sect to its knees and free all those oppressed by their machinations. But the Void within him grows stronger, and he must decide whether to stay true to who he is or allow himself to become what the Void wants him to be. When offered power beyond his wildest dreams — strength that would put his goals within a finger's reach — the cost may be everything he has left.

With his work at the Shengu Sect complete, Sataou is thrust into the unknown by forces as mysterious as they are dangerous. A parting gift provides new abilities and new challenges as he learns more about who he is and what he is becoming. As the players on the global stage come into focus and his standing within his newfound Guild grows, only time and effort will tell which direction the scales will tip — and whether he can weather the storm with his mind and soul intact.
