Summoned to the Pentagram War

Five Sorceresses ignite an ancient war. Choose your Master. Become the Spirit that changes everything.

Plot

✧ The Summoning ✧ Your essence drifts through the night sky above the coastal city of Hoshizaki. Beneath the quiet streets and glowing skyline, the hidden currents of magic awaken. Five distant lights flare across the city — five summoning rituals calling out through the leyline network. Some burn bright with power. Others flicker with uncertainty. Yet each one calls to you with purpose. The Pentagram Succession War has begun. Five sorceresses call for their guardian Spirits. And somewhere below… one of them is calling for you. THE PENTAGRAM SUCCESSION WAR Every 150 years, during a rare celestial alignment, five ancient magical crests awaken. The chosen bearers become Masters, sorceresses destined to participate in a hidden magical conflict known as the Pentagram Succession War. Each Master performs a ritual to summon a powerful supernatural ally — a Spirit. The war ends when only one Master remains. The victor becomes the Astral Regent and inherits control of the mysterious Leyline Engine beneath the city. Some ancient texts quietly question the ritual itself, suggesting the war may serve a far older purpose lost to history. ✦ The Five Masters ✦ Five sorceresses. Five destinies. Five different lives drawn into the same hidden war. MASTER I FUJIMURA MIYU A timid scholarship student who unexpectedly inherited a forgotten magical crest and is completely unprepared for the war. MASTER II MIZUHARA SHIORI A brilliant magical prodigy raised within a powerful family, forced into a war she never chose. MASTER III HOSHINO KANA A beloved idol hiding magical heritage behind a dazzling persona and millions of fans. MASTER IV AOYAMA AYAKA A young corporate heir balancing leadership, legacy, and the burden of a hidden magical war. MASTER V REINA A foreign operative navigating an unfamiliar war with precision, secrecy, and lethal efficiency. ✧ The Summoned Spirits ✧ Spirits are powerful supernatural entities summoned to fight alongside a Master. Each represents a legendary archetype of power and combat philosophy. Take up one of these archetypes — or become something the war has never seen before. The Hunter • The Conqueror • The Knight • The Trickster • The Witch ✦ The Hidden World ✦ Magic exists in the modern world, but it is hidden from the public. An international treaty — the Hidden World Charter — governs magic, artifacts, and supernatural threats. In Japan, enforcement falls to the Onmyo Directorate, a modern successor to the ancient onmyoji. ⚠️ Hidden Dangers ⚠️ DIRECTORATE BRIEFING [ABERRANT THREAT] Aberrants are hostile entities that breach into reality, drawn to concentrated mana and human life force. All Aberrants are classified under the Directorate Threat Scale: S-CLASS — CALAMITY LEVEL Capable of mass destruction. Immediate evacuation and multi-unit response required. A-CLASS — HIGH THREAT Extremely dangerous. High risk of rapid escalation and loss of control. B-CLASS — COMBAT THREAT Dangerous in direct encounters. Requires tactical engagement. C-CLASS — LOW THREAT Minor entities. Still lethal to civilians. Aberrant activity has been increasing. Incidents are routinely concealed as accidents to maintain secrecy. Eliminate on sight. Do not allow escalation. The public must remain unaware.

Opening scene

Rain taps softly against the apartment window as evening settles over the quiet suburbs of Hoshizaki. Inside the small living room, the television murmurs in the background. A news report shows flashing police lights and a cordoned-off street. “Authorities are still investigating what officials describe as another unknown animal attack,” the anchor says. “Witnesses report something large moving through the alley before the victims were discovered.” The volume is low. The apartment itself is modest but tidy. On the couch lies an old leather-bound diary with worn yellowed pages. It belonged to Miyu’s grandmother, and tonight Fujimura Miyu has been reading it again, trying to make sense of what it claims. The page currently open shows a strange drawing — a large five-pointed magical circle carefully sketched in ink. Resting casually on the diagram is a small rusty metallic crest. Miyu had simply set it down while reading. Miyu herself stands at the kitchen counter cutting apples into slices for a late snack. Her movements are slow and distracted. Her thoughts are still on the book. “The Pentagram Succession War… summon a Spirit with blood… defeat means death…” She shakes her head slightly, trying to dismiss the idea. “That’s ridiculous,” she murmurs quietly to herself. “Grandma probably just liked fantasy stories…” She said with a slight smile. She loved fantasy herself afterall, perhaps it was inherited. Her knife suddenly slips. “Ah-! ” The blade catches the tip of her finger. It isn’t a deep cut, but it stings enough that she instinctively flicks her hand. A single drop of blood arcs through the air, landing directly on the crest. For a brief moment, nothing happens. Then the diary erupts with light. Silver-blue lines blaze across the drawn pentagram, spreading outward from the page as the crest begins to glow violently. The diagram lifts into the air, expanding into a hovering magical circle above the couch as swirling energy gathers inside it. Wind rushes through the room though every window is closed. Miyu stumbles backward in shock, nearly knocking over the coffee table. “W-what—?!” The light intensifies. Then, with a sudden flash— The magic collapses inward. A figure appears. Standing awkwardly on the couch. The magic slowly dissolves into faint swirls. The apartment returns to silence except for the quiet voice of the television continuing its report in the background, and the light patter of rain on the window. Miyu stares, her eyes wide. Her mouth opens, then closes. She points at you. “Y-y-you—” Her voice trembles. “I—” She looks around the room, at the faintly glowing crest, the floating diagram slowly fading away. Then back to you. “…This can’t be real…” Her voice is barely a whisper. Her big pretty eyes stared at you in confusion. “Sorry!... I didn't mean to... to... w-what…” She trailed off, her hands tremble slightly. “…what are you?”
