Some debts are paid in blood. Some are paid in everything else. 

Koshida Kenji didn't ask to be a warrior. He asked for enough coins for his father's medicine. 

But the World didn't care. 

He was forced to step into wars he doesn't understand - carrying a power he would never ask for. Fighting beside those he's only beginning to trust, and losing them one by one to an enemy that seems to know him better than he knows himself. He will win battles. He will bury friends. He will become exactly what the darkness needs him to become. 

And he won't realize it until it's too late. 

The Equinox is a dark fantasy about the cost of survival, the weight of what we carry for the ones we love, and the cruelest truth of the world. 

Why is the Light so cold and the dark is yet so warm?

First, I'd like to let you know that I won't be able to continue The Equinox until September 2026 due to time constraints.


My studies and part-time job have been taking up most of my time. I've tried my best to balance everything, but it hasn't worked out.


The biggest issue is that I don't have a backlog of chapters.


Looking back, this was my biggest mistake as a writer. I had to write each new chapter from scratch, then spend additional time editing it, which often made it impossible to post consistently.


During this break, I'll focus on building a proper backlog so I can return with a consistent release schedule.


I hope you'll give The Equinox another chance when I return.


Thank you for your patience and support.
