Synopsis of Teogonia
The story of Teogonia is set in a war-torn world where humans are in constant conflict with demi-human tribes, such as the Ash Monkeys (Macaque) and pig people (Ogres). Kai, a young boy from the village of Rag, dedicates his life to protecting his home.
Amidst the brutal battles fought by “guardian bearers,” Kai experiences a life-threatening injury. This injury triggers memories of a past life, revealing a world with advanced technology and knowledge beyond his current reality. As Kai grapples with these newfound memories, he finds himself caught in a larger conflict, embarking on a journey of struggle and growth in a harsh and unforgiving world.
J-Novel Club describes the plot as follows:
In the harsh region known as the borderlands, humans must fight an endless battle against demi-human creatures that come at them relentlessly, intent on taking their land and their gods… Kai’s newfound knowledge gives him a new sense of the unfair “rule set” that governs the world around him. One thing is clear: For those without a god to serve as their guardian, life is a constant struggle for survival. Thus begins the epic tale of a young boy’s ascent into a vast world filled with magic, bloodshed, and mystery.
