Shadowlight Vol.1: The Realisation

Azeki was once a living mortal who ascended to Anji status and is no longer associated with her Dookian past life. However, supernatural forces have infiltrated the Anji realms, manufactured from the process of Azeki's rise to the ethereal dimension.

Azeki's daughter, Zakela, was born a Dookian but never ascended to Anji status. Azeki, on the other hand, since belonging to the Anji settlement of Sakooisi, created a partial Anji clone of her biological daughter, who, in the beginning, seems like any child -- clumsy, childlike, but loving and adorable.

However, as Azeki seeks answers regarding a creature known as Shadowlight, Zakela takes a turn for the worst. After restoring her lost memories since ascension, Azeki learns that Shadowlight is a part of a paradox, and Zakela is one of the forms the creature takes.

Determined to put things right, Azeki journeys the world to uncover the "soul fragments" of the creature within this massive paradox. However, one day, she doesn't just lose the memories of her past life from ascension but loses all memory associated with all timelines she once lived. Now, awoken again, Azeki frantically tries to work out what has happened, with an obsession over valuables she once possessed.

With the paradox relentlessly repeating itself, does Azeki have what it takes to defend the universe from Shadowlight's brutal assaults, or will she falter at the hands of the daughter she loves the most in the whole world? Will her own emotions be the end of her life, or will she succeed past even her expectations?
