After a tragic accident, 23-year-old Asano Migi awakens in an unfamiliar world, reborn as nothing more than a grain of sand. Confused and vulnerable, Asano soon discovers he possesses a strange power to control sand, though it’s weak and offers little hope of survival. His struggle for purpose takes a new turn when he encounters Syla, a fierce warrior, and follows her into a village brimming with secrets. As Asano’s abilities grow, he crafts tools, weapons, and eventually forms a crude body, pushing himself deeper into a hostile realm where layers of civilizations clash and tensions run high. Alongside unlikely allies, he unravels chilling mysteries, battles ruthless foes, and faces trials that test his will to survive. In this brutal world, Asano’s quest for answers might bring him closer to his own purpose, or leave him as little more than dust on the wind. - With regards to the AI-Assisted content tag: To everyone who immediatly scowled upon seeing the word 'AI', know that this is AI assisted content, not AI generated spiel. I struggle a lot with grammar and such, so if I didn't have some support, the final result would be so, so much worse. I hope you can look past this and please, please give my work a try. The idea for this novel and everything you read has been by my own (aka. human) design. I hope you enjoy your experience reading my fictions, and don't hold it against me that I need said support. The work presented is original. - Sandy
