Arika Hoshizora only wanted one thing at age ten: a proper divine blessing — or at the very least, something to make her feel special. Instead, she was cursed in front of all the nobility, left in a wheelchair… and with her pride in ruins. Ten years have passed. Now twenty, Arika lives in the shadow of her family, burdened by a curse slowly devouring her life. She has only five months left. Five months until time runs out. But just when all hope seems lost, an ancient tome whispers of one last chance: a divine artifact, hidden deep within the legendary Lands of the Gods, said to purge any curse or illness. With no time to waste, Arika sets off on a desperate journey, joined by her loyal maid and childhood friend Momo Tan — whose heart is as strong as her fists — and her half-sister, the cold prodigy Reina, whose power is matched only by the emotional chasm between them. In a quest marked by divine trials, monsters born of human fears, and long-buried truths, Arika is not only searching for a cure… but for the meaning of her own existence. Can a broken body and a bitter past truly defy the gods?
