Beyond the forgotten gate

In modern Japan, a 15-year-old boy dies unexpectedly and is reincarnated into another world as the third prince of the Kingdom of Noctis. Although he retains his memories, no one knows that he comes from another life.

At the age of five, his mana awakens. Instead of fire, water, wind, or light, he possesses a mysterious ability called World Gate—the power to open portals to countless imaginary realms. The kingdom's scholars declare it a "worthless" ability because it cannot be used directly in battle or to increase military strength. Everyone believes it is a useless gift.

His father, King Aldren, is furious. Believing the prince has brought shame upon the royal family, he decides to execute him in secret.

Just before the execution, the crown prince—his older brother—steps forward.

"There is one place," he says. "The Forsaken Valley. Criminals, exiles, and forgotten people live there. Send him there instead. If he survives, then it is his fate. If he dies... we lose nothing."

The king agrees.

Banished with nothing but worn clothes, the young prince is thrown into the valley that everyone calls the Land of the Forgotten.

But everything changes.

The World Gate isn't weak.

Behind its portals are endless fantasy worlds filled with forgotten magic, ancient dragons, mythical forests, floating cities, legendary weapons, lost civilizations, and powerful teachers. Every world has different rules, allowing him to learn abilities that no one in his own world has ever seen.

Instead of becoming stronger by fighting monsters alone, he gathers knowledge, medicine, technology, farming methods, magic, and allies from countless worlds.

The starving valley slowly transforms into a thriving city.

People once abandoned by the kingdom begin calling him their true prince.

Meanwhile, another soul has also been reincarnated.

A 14-year-old girl named Yoshi awakens in the same world with memories of her previous life. She possesses a rare blessing known as Nature's Covenant. She can communicate with and command every non-human species—wolves, birds, dragons, spirits, insects, sea creatures, magical beasts, and even ancient monsters. Humans alone are beyond her control.

Unlike others who force monsters into submission, every creature willingly follows her because they recognize her gentle heart.

One day, while protecting injured creatures in the forest, she meets the mysterious prince from the Forsaken Valley.

At first they argue.

He trusts no one.

She believes everyone deserves kindness.

But as they travel together, they discover their powers complement each other perfectly.

His portals let them explore impossible worlds.

Her gift allows every magical creature there to become their ally.

Together they uncover an ancient prophecy:

"When the Gate Walker and the Voice of Beasts walk together, the worlds long separated shall become one."

As kingdoms begin hunting them, they realize the greatest threat is not monsters—it is the rulers who fear the truth behind the World Gate.

The abandoned prince who was called worthless may become the greatest king in history... and the girl who can command every living species may decide the fate of every world connected to his gates.
