ROKUBOSHI: THE SIXTH STAR
He has no star. His guardian has no face. Together, they're the joke that breaks the system.
In a world where humanity is classified by guardian stars—Attack, Defense, Repair, Watch—seventeen-year-old Ren is 0★, failed, empty. White-haired and invisible, he hides his skill behind slouched shoulders and a wooden sword too big for his status.
But Ren is not empty. He hosts Kai, the 6★—self-named, self-defined, the first undefined being in history. Faceless, silver, lean-muscled and child-sized, Kai wants only one thing: fun. And Ren, desperate and lonely and strangely stubborn, is the most fun he's found in eons.
Their partnership threatens everything. The False God I Am, who divided the world into three realms to feed on separation, cannot perceive the undefined. The Five Great Devils, who grant power through contract and hunger, resent their joy. The Two Soul Kings, who trap guardians in eternal dreams, fear their wakefulness.
As Ren and Kai play tag through battlefields, hunt boars with pebbles that negotiate gravity, and slowly fuse into something neither human nor god, they must choose: become defined and survive, or stay undefined and redefine existence itself.
Rokuboshi: The Sixth Star—a story about partnership, play, and the courage to be unclassified.
