Akashi Records

A monstrous reincarnation. A world-shattering prophecy. And the fight for freedom and survival. Akashi Shizuru believed herself to be a chosen one. As the heir to a political and economic empire, her path in life was set.

Yet, a freak accident ended it all prematurely. The voice in the void gave her another chance at life, with the condition that she would have to fight for it. As promised, she woke up to her siblings trying to eat her even before birth, like sharks in their mother's womb.

Driven by her new form's monstrous instincts and an unwillingness to die again, she consumed them all and came out on top. Born alone, Akashi Shizuru has become Viyal, daughter of the Zakhira tribe's chief. Once again, she is a chosen one, gifted with power and status.

However, fate would hold more in store for her. Steppe people receive a fortune telling shortly after birth, but Viyal's turns out to be different. Hers is a grand prophecy directly from the lips of their religious head: She is the Omen Child, foretold to die before she sees her thirteenth birthday - or live to conquer the world.

Akashi Records - Omen of the Steppe is the story of a haughty Japanese scion girl reincarnated into a high fantasy, low magic world filled with only non-human species. Follow Akashi Shizuru as she has to learn to navigate life in a medieval Mongols-inspired steppe tribe as Viyal, a humanoid manticore with three rows of sharp teeth and a scorpion tail.
