SOUL OF WORLD
In the city of **Valdris**, power is bought, not born.
Once a year, aspiring Soul Masters may purchase a **Soul Contract**—a single chance to bind a companion spirit whose abilities will define their path. No rerolls. No second chances. For most, a **Bronze-tier Soul** means a safe but unremarkable future.
For **Iuo Kurogane**, it was supposed to be exactly that.
A novice with limited savings, Iuo enters the Soul Contract Emporium expecting a simple elemental Soul. Instead, his Bronze-tier contract shatters fate itself, awakening a **Sea Storm Aspect**—a rare elemental convergence of **Water, Lightning, and Air**, a power documented fewer than two hundred times in a century.
From the shattered orb emerges Naia, a tiny storm-born Soul with ancient instincts, childlike curiosity, and overwhelming potential. Though small in form, her existence marks Iuo as anything but ordinary.
Bound together by an impossible contract, the two step into a world where power attracts ambition, envy, and danger. The **Adventurer’s Guild**, rival Soul Masters, and forces that monitor rare Aspects will soon take notice.
