Introduction to the Work
“The Pathless Path” was composed and written by Yunosuke Takahashi in 2022. It is the final piece in a trilogy. This work follows the stage adaptation of Ryunosuke Akutagawa’s “Magic” and the original story “Resurrection.” It premiered in November 2022 as a reading performance.
Synopsis
“The Pathless Path” tells a story set in a complex world where easy answers are hard to find. The protagonists, Kyoyomi and Yuzutsu, confront their destinies and the shadows of their past.
Kyoyomi and Yuzutsu, both magicians, have battled against the “evil magic that enslaves people” for a long time. Finally, their efforts bear fruit. They shatter the old magic, and a new order begins to emerge in the world of magic. Amidst this change, an unknown hand assassinates Yuzutsu’s revered magician, Tentersius.
Tentersius, a spiritual leader of the revolution, had supported the magicians’ fight. Just before his death, he planned to announce his retirement. However, the assassination occurred on the night of this recording.
Initially, Yuzutsu was a council member deciding matters in the magic world through a collegial system. However, after the incident, he begins to act independently. Desperate to find the assassin, Yuzutsu resorts to necromancy.
Kyoyomi, aware of Yuzutsu’s turn to necromancy, devises a plan to protect him. However, he pays a high price to do so…
