( The Island Where Stars and Chains Rise / 별과 사슬이 뜨는 섬 / The Island Where Stars and Chains Rise )

Family is a double-edged sword—a guiding light in the dark or an anchor pulling you into the abyss. For Seung-Hyeon Gi, his life has been defined by the crushing weight of his father’s legacy and the bitter resentment of living in the shadow of his comatose sister, So-Hyeon. He craves the glory of being a legendary hunter, but his reality is nothing more than cold neglect.

Everything shatters the moment So-Hyeon wakes up. She isn't the fragile girl he remembers; she is a Homecomer, a survivor returned from a parallel world armed with terrifying, reality-bending powers. As the true nature of his sister's journey comes to light, Seung-Hyeon realizes the world he thought he understood is on the brink of chaos. If he wants to stop being a bystander and become the shield his sister needs, he has to level up. His only path to survival leads straight into the heart of the Seong-Han Academy for the Gifted, where the competition is lethal and the power scaling is unlike anything he’s ever seen. Get ready for a high-stakes, action-packed thrill ride where every choice could be the difference between salvation and destruction.
