Alderamin on the Sky

In a world perpetually gripped by the specter of war, the Kioka Republic and the Katjvarna Empire are locked in a brutal, generations-long conflict. Amidst this strife, a young man named Ikta Solork, whose brilliance is matched only by his profound laziness, finds himself reluctantly thrust into the military. Though he'd rather nap than fight, a chance encounter and an act of heroism propel him and his childhood friend, Yatori, onto a trajectory that will challenge the very foundations of their empire. What begins as an unwilling enlistment soon morphs into a complex tale of strategy, sacrifice, and the harsh realities of combat. Ikta’s unorthodox mind and disdain for convention may just be what’s needed to navigate the treacherous political landscape and the relentless battlefields, but even his genius can't escape the personal cost of a war that refuses to end.
