Translated by Alexander O. Smith.
Young Wataru Mitani's
life is a mess. His family has problems they never told him about, a new student at school upsets everything he knows about the world, and a
girl's voice rings in his mind all hours of the night. Desperately he
searches for some way to change his life; a way to alter his fate.
To achieve his goal, he must navigate the magical world of Vision, a land
filled with creatures both fierce and friendly. And to complicate
matters, he must outwit a merciless rival from the real world.
Wataru's ultimate destination is the Tower of Destiny where a Goddess of fate
awaits. Only when he has finished his journey and collected five elusive gemstones will he possess the Demon's Bane; the key that will unlock
his future.
Charity, bravery, faith, grace and the power of
darkness and light: these are the provinces of each gemstone. Brought
together, they have the immeasurable power to change Wataru's life.
