Description
Rikishu Kairo was the strongest Upbringer of his era—until the day he vanished in battle and was declared dead.
Years later, the Upbringers’ Citadel still honours his name, unaware that Echo—the legend they buried—never truly disappeared.
Royoshi Kairo is nothing like him.
Accidentally recruited into the Citadel, Royoshi is average at best, unmotivated, and ranked far below his peers. He doesn’t chase power, recognition, or even love. He simply exists—unnoticed, unremarkable, and unprepared.
Until the day he nearly dies.
When a mysterious hologram saves him from the brink of death, Royoshi meets a man who refuses to give his name—yet knows him better than anyone ever has. The hologram senses within Royoshi a dormant force called Shuryoku, a potential so vast it has gone completely ignored.
As Royoshi is drawn into secret training guided by a legend the world believes is dead, a greater threat begins to stir. Sevran Axiom, a man who believes potential must be claimed by force, sees Royoshi not as a person—but as unfinished property.
Caught between a mentor who waits and a villain who demands, Royoshi must confront the one thing he has always avoided:
Trying.
ECHOBOUND is a slow-burning supernatural academy novel about wasted potential, silent legends, and the terrifying choice to awaken.
