The journey of Tavon Meiziki continues with a fight that will determine his fate going forward in a world that has come to utterly despise him. Upon escaping from the Citadel, his homeland, Tavon managed to anger monarchs and members of parliamentary bodies across the globe, marking himself as a target for the thousands of people who want to kill him. After joining the Angelos Association as a Death Officer who’s quickly assigned his first target, Tavon must pass through the Dreaming City, Zannica, on his way to his target’s location in the country of Saizakune. In the Dreaming City, labour is a thing of the past; art and human innovation prevail, and an unregulated drug market threatens to turn a city of dreams into a city of nightmares. A group of radicals known as the “Prophets” has risen, and the Prophets are interested in playing a deadly game with the city’s population. With a number of tools at their disposal, the Prophets, alongside a photographer who specializes in depicting gore and human exploitation, plan to throw the country into chaos by using their powers to make otherwise ordinary people insane. While facing trial for his murders in the Citadel, Tavon must undergo a “project” that will examine his personal psychology and will determine whether or not he is to be executed at the hands of the Grandmaster of Zannica.

While Tavon and his companions continue their adventure and arrive at Zannica, the Dreaming City, Brock is enlisted by Enrec to protect the Republic of Avva. As the Republic edges toward total chaos, Brock will undergo training to participate in one last operation that will decide the fate of his homeland. This is a story about heroism, madness, and what it means to take on the role of a leader.

I doubt that you’ve heard the story of the White Boar. Before the reign of the Meiziki, there was the Odoya Clan: regular samurai who’d subsisted off the trash of others. They stockpiled weapons left over from the Citadel’s countless civil wars, which allowed them to play the game of mob warfare with almost total supremacy. It’s said that one man destroyed them... By the time that Tavon had matured, his world consisted of those superior to himself. He would continue to be surrounded by deadly allies who stood to shape him in ways that he couldn’t expect. While partnered with the Meiziki Clan, Tavon vowed to achieve his true potential, to protect his new family as he developed into one of their greatest assets. This is Tavon’s final account of his upbringing as well as the story of the one who dared to lead the Meiziki into the World Below, the White Boar...
