The Prelude chapter to NEON RED II – Dion of the Ashes is now available to read for free! Curious how Shimon and Dion have developed? What are their plans? And can their friendship remain, despite it all?
Even the most beautiful moments are fleeting; maybe especially them. Both Shimon and Charna feel this as they separate again, both with new perspectives and goals to pursue. But the hardest part of the boy’s departure comes in the form of his brother: how can he truly convey how much his freedom means to him? Can it eclipse the heartbreak he’ll inevitably bring him?
With the fallout of Sennin’s assault comes a new perspective on secrecy for the pair of brothers. Without Zeke’s aid, Shimon ponders on what to do next while recovering and comes to a simple conclusion – he needs an ally. Parallel to him, the anxious Charna has an equal craving for connection, and thus both happen to cross paths in a homely bar called Corner Link. All seems well until Shimon decides to take a risk and introduce her to aura, the superhuman power that he himself still doesn’t understand well…
To his brother’s utter shock, Shimon is alive after three years of fruitless search – however, far older than he could realistically be. Trying to adjust to this new reality is a huge task for the now-younger brother Zeke, equal parts euphoric and still in denial. However, when another person arrives to take hold of the 17-year old Shimon, equipped with the same powers as his brother, Zeke starts to realize just how cruel reality can be…
The truth behind Shimon’s mysterious letter has revealed itself: coordinates, taking him to the northernmost corner of Pangaea. The boy’s life is at a seeming turning point – but where there is excitement, there is also the crushing prospect of leaving his brother, his friends, his parents behind.
It’s not an easy task for the marine-haired adventurer. Desperate to give his peers at least a small bit of closure, he takes one last sprint through the metropolis.
This chapter concludes the Cherize City arc and the chapter previews! Read all of them for free in the Chapter List!
Guided by nothing but hope and his instincts, Shimon scavenges Cherize City to locate the shell-shocked Charna again. While he essentially searches for a needle in a haystack, the girl herself is stuck at home, unable to comprehend what occured the previous night.
Only once she learns about the mysterious aura that’s now coarsing through her veins, does everything come together…
After fleeing from the scene that would later be known as the Corner Link Incident, Shimon places all hopes into Cherize’s Defenders to keep the drained Charna safe from harm. In fear and haste, he flees out of the city and decides to stay in his most natural environment until the air is clean: a thicket in the wilderness.
Still, with so many new discoveries and impressions about the Human Realm planted into his head, Shimon faces probably the biggest question since his arrival – what exactly is aura?
After their fateful meeting, Shimon and Charna get to know each other in the homely Corner Link. However, when the boy decides to introduce his powers to the girl, in hopes of helping her understand him better, the situation turns for the absolute worst – and suddenly, every single visitor of the third-most popular bar of the city is endangered…
At the tide between January and February, a young woman named Charna decides to take matters into her own hands. Despite dealing with social anxiety, she’s hellbent on making a friend in a bar known as Corner Link – anything to make her feel less lonely in the middle of Cherize City.
However, that same night, a certain boy separated from his brother has a similar idea…
