A boy who traveled through eight worlds aims for the Root in the final world to save all nine realms.
About
In this world, two distinct powers exist: Sorcery and Magic.
Sorcery is a technique woven by humanity over long ages to trigger various phenomena.
In contrast, Magic does not exist as an extension of that.
Every being, every phenomenon, and all of history. The Root where everything in the world is recorded— The Akashic Records
Magic is a mystical power drawn directly from that Root existing outside the world, a power that has become legend in the modern era.
Once, countless sorcerers sought the Akashic Records, yet not a single one reached them.
—Except for one.
A sorcerer who reached that realm thousands of years ago.
Touma Astoria.
Upon reaching the place where all is known, what he saw was a truth humanity was never meant to know.
The world they live in is not the only one.
Different laws. Different civilizations. Different histories.
Existing without ever intersecting—The Nine Parallel Worlds.
And a being who intends to return all nine to Nothingness.
To prevent the approaching destruction, Astoria entrusted the future to a single possibility.
The 1st World—Modern Earth.
There exists his other self in a parallel world.
A perfectly ordinary high school student—Touma Tachibana.
Entrusted with the Power to Cross Worlds and a mission by Astoria, Touma steps into a journey across worlds without knowing anything.
Fighting alongside the people he meets on his journey, he manifests Anomalies—powers born from the different laws of each world—within his own body.
After crossing many worlds, the boy finally reaches his destination.
—The 9th World.
This is the world where Touma Astoria once lived.
A giant educational metropolis where science and sorcery developed together— Astoria Academy City.
Transferring into the National Astoria Sorcery Academy at its center, Touma must learn the Sorcery of the 9th World from scratch, despite his travels through so many other realms.
Attending classes, making friends, and sometimes getting into mischief.
What he finds there is an ordinary school life, seemingly far removed from the end of the world.
However, the students do not yet know.
That the meeting of the boys and girls gathered at this academy will eventually link to the fate of all nine worlds.
And Touma himself did not know.
Why Touma Astoria chose him.
Why the nine worlds are trying to return to Nothingness.
And—
What lies at the deepest depths of the Akashic Records.
This is not the story of a hero who saves the world.
It is the story of a boy who knew nothing, meeting his comrades, learning sorcery, and reaching the truth hidden within the nine worlds.
All to—
Overturn the fate of the nine worlds returning to Nothingness.
Characters
- Class 1-A
- 160cm
- Academy Rank: 100
A girl known as the "Strongest First-Year" who cleared the high-difficulty practical entrance exam with a perfect score and reached the top 100 in the academy rankings within just two months of enrollment. She specializes in fire-element sorcery and continues to train in pursuit of strength without becoming arrogant about her talent. She has a quiet, mysterious aura and is poor at communicating because she is always detached, but she is actually kind with a strong sense of justice. She also has a typical teenage side, being extremely fond of sweets. Her birth is deeply connected to Hiina Reveris, who reached the Akashic Records thousands of years ago, and she shares the exact same appearance and name. However, she is a completely different person with different memories, personality, and life; the truth hidden behind her birth is something Hiina will not learn until the distant future.
- Class 3-C
- 167cm
- Academy Rank: 1
The "Strongest in the Academy" reigning at the top of approximately 12,000 students. A calm and composed student council president who excels in both academics and sports, treating everyone with polite, formal speech. She favors a single katana and fights by combining advanced sorcery mediated through the blade with superlative swordsmanship, recognized as being in a league of her own even by the other Top 10 elites. While she possesses sharp observation and judgment, she has an unexpected weakness: she is terrible at cooking. She is childhood friends with Iroha Amagi, who is the only person Shion treats as a special friend, speaking to her casually without formal honorifics.
- Class 1-A
- 159cm
A daughter of a distinguished noble family that has produced excellent sorcerers for generations. Born with vast Magic Power and high Sorcery Aptitude, she boasts talent that puts her at the top of her grade in practical skills. While she is bright, honest, and quick to make friends, she is a very sheltered "young lady" due to her upbringing. She is terrible at studying, especially complex sorcery theory, but is a natural genius when it comes to the actual use of Sorcery. Even if she doesn't understand the logic, she can succeed at high-level sorcery through "intuition," often producing grades that look like they belong to two different people between written and practical exams.
- Class 2-D
- 163cm
- Academy Rank: 14
A super-famous girl active as a model and known as the "Idol of the Academy City." Characterized by her glamorous looks and bright smile, she is friendly and approachable to everyone and is good at remembering faces and names. Though she seems like a natural genius who handles everything easily, she is actually a hard worker. She secretly repeats sorcery practice and study, striving to be worthy of her title as the Academy Idol. Her skill in Sorcery is also very high, ranked 14th in the academy, and she specializes in a flashy, eye-catching fighting style suited to her personality. While she acts as a perfect idol normally, she relaxes around those she is close to, showing the expressions of an ordinary girl her age.
- Class 1-A
- 165cm
A girl with a gentle smile and a soft, fluffy atmosphere. She treats everyone naturally and is the class "healer" who can soften even the most tense air just by being there. She possesses a somewhat unique sensibility; though she is perfectly serious, she is a bit of a space cadet who occasionally makes mysterious remarks. However, she has no idea she's said anything strange and often tilts her head at the reactions of those around her. A pacifist who dislikes conflict, she hates hurting opponents more than necessary even in Sorcery Battles, preferring to end fights peacefully by parrying attacks. Though she seems laid-back, she has unique intuition and flexible thinking, sometimes displaying unexpected talent in ways even she doesn't realize.
- Class 3-C
- 161cm
- Academy Rank: 11
The mood maker of the student council, bright, energetic, and friendly, able to hit it off with anyone immediately. While she usually gives a light, jokey impression, she is a genuine powerhouse ranked 11th in the academy. She is childhood friends with Shion Kokonoe, and despite their opposite personalities, they are very close. She is the only person the academy's strongest, Shion, speaks to casually without formal honorifics. Iroha herself doesn't give Shion special treatment, ignoring her titles as Rank 1 and Student Council President to maintain the same distance they've had since they were children. She is good at cooking and brings her own lunch every day, showing a domestic side that is somewhat unexpected given her boisterous personality.
- Class 3-B
- 165cm
- Academy Rank: 2
A pure infighter who manifests magic power as black and white "ink," fighting primarily with punches and kicks. In battle, she carries a giant Taiji diagram on her back, with black and white ink dancing like brush strokes with every strike. She has a frank, refreshing personality and speaks in an archaic warrior style. She takes good care of her juniors and has many disciples within the academy who look up to her as a "Master." Her Rank 2 status is the result of daily training she never misses, not just talent. She excels at sensing the flow of magic power and can read an opponent's attacks from the slightest changes. She loves Japanese culture and calm things, and surprisingly gets along well with Shion Kokonoe, who shares similar hobbies.
- Class 2-D
- 150cm
- Academy Rank: 19
A highly inquisitive girl with the academy's top sorcery knowledge and high deductive reasoning. She truly believes in the existence of the Akashic Records, which are treated as fairy tales today, and independently researches ancient records and sorcery history. She simply loves "incidents" and "mysteries," a natural seeker who builds hypotheses one after another from the slightest oddity. In special sorcery cases, her knowledge is sought after, and she participates as an external collaborator in Sorcery Security Bureau investigations. She specializes in deducing the sorcery used and the culprit's actions from magic power traces and formula properties left at the scene, joyfully sticking her nose into dangerous incidents. Despite being Rank 19, she has almost no interest in sorcery battles themselves, viewing combat merely as a "perfect opportunity to experiment with newly devised sorcery."
The second "Mage" in history, existing in the 9th World thousands of years ago. He reached the Akashic Records at around age 70 and is a legendary figure who left many achievements in sorcery history. Upon learning at the Root that nine parallel worlds exist and are destined to return to Nothingness, he granted the Power to Cross Worlds to his other self in the 1st World, Touma Tachibana, and entrusted him with the future. He continues to exist outside the world, but since entrusting his power, he cannot directly interfere with Touma Tachibana and has been holding back the "being trying to return the worlds to Nothingness" all alone for thousands of years.
The first "Mage" in history, existing in the 9th World thousands of years ago. A peerless genius in sorcery history who reached the Akashic Records for the first time at just 18 years old. Her whereabouts after reaching the Records are shrouded in mystery. She was a childhood friend who grew up with Touma Astoria and is said to have held special feelings for him. In the 9th World thousands of years later, there exists a girl with the same name, Hiina, and an identical appearance. The relationship between the two and the answer she reached at the Akashic Records are among the story's greatest mysteries.

Intro
In this world, there exist Nine Parallel Worlds, each with its own history and laws.
However, only two people know this truth.
Touma Tachibana—
He too was once an ordinary high school student living in modern Japan, known as the 1st World.
He knew nothing of sorcery, anomalies, or battles for the fate of the world. His daily life came to an abrupt end when he met an old man who suddenly appeared one day.
The old man's name was Touma Astoria.
Another Touma, born in a world different from his own.
What he was told was the fact that other worlds exist, and that all nine worlds were being returned to Nothingness by the hand of a certain individual.
Why are they trying to erase the worlds? Who is that person? And how can they be stopped?
Without being told everything, Touma was entrusted with the power to cross worlds and the future of the nine realms.
Thus began his journey through eight worlds.
Acquiring the power of Anomalies during his travels, sometimes being granted them...
Repeating countless meetings and partings, Touma experienced the eight worlds firsthand.
And finally—he reached the last world.
The 9th World.
A world where Sorcery has developed alongside science, supporting people's daily lives.
Touma headed for the Astoria Academy City, which houses the world's pinnacle sorcery research and educational institutions.
Hiding his purpose and his past travels, he begins a new school life as a first-year at the National Astoria Sorcery Academy.
The student council president called the strongest in the academy. A girl seeking the Akashic Records. A colorful cast of budding sorcerers.
And Hiina—who looks exactly like the girl who vanished outside the world thousands of years ago.
Touma does not yet know.
Why he needed to travel through eight worlds.
Why he gained the power to Record all of his travels.
And what lies sleeping far beneath the Astoria Academy City.
The journey through eight worlds.
Its true purpose was to complete the Key to reach the Outside of the World.
When he carves the Inside of the nine worlds into his own body, the boy will become the only being capable of crossing the boundaries of the world.
The place where the beginning of everything is written—the Akashic Records.
To the outside of that world, where the one who intends to return the nine worlds to Nothingness waits.
This is the story of a boy who traveled eight worlds and now, in the final 9th World, challenges a battle for the survival of all nine realms.
Two months have passed since I came to the 9th World.
I've gotten used to life here, to some extent.
The fact that Sorcery exists. The fact that Mana is used everywhere in the city. Apparently, that's normal in this world.
And today.
I'm finally transferring to the National Astoria Sorcery Academy.
It took longer than I thought to get here.
There were identity issues, and a lot of necessary paperwork.
Of course there were.
In this world, no record of a human named Touma Tachibana exists.
Still, I managed to make it this far.
My goal in this world is one thing.
To reach the Akashic Records.
To do that, I first need to know the Sorcery of this world.
I've traveled through eight worlds.
Even so, there's little I know about the 9th World.
So, I'm starting from scratch here.
National Astoria Sorcery Academy.
It's probably the best place to learn about this world.
My life here starts today.
