Darphopia: The Godless Land
Darphopia is the godless land.
Over a thousand years ago, our world of technology and divided faiths ended. There was a cataclysmic global conflict called the “God War”, and at the end of that war, God fell and Darphopia was born. With His death, God’s power—the Power Omnipotent—became a part of everyone and everything, and so technology was rendered obsolete. Darphopia became a land of monarchies, classes, and a collective disillusionment with God.
In Bladelheim, one of the three reigning kingdoms, there is tension between Prince Riki Yamamoto and his brother Prince Akuni. The kingdom is on the verge of bankruptcy, and while Prince Akuni wishes to free Bladelheim’s Slaves and improve the kingdom’s reputation, Prince Riki acknowledges that the Slave trade is their largest source of income and would rather find another way.
However, when the king steps down and Prince Akuni ascends the throne, he banishes his brother Riki to the wilds of Darphopia to prevent him from interfering with his political plans.
Stripped of his Royal status, forced to reside in the low-class and wild parts of Darphopia, and having to assimilate to cultures altogether different from the one he is used to, will Riki be able to find a way to take his kingdom back from his brother?
Darphopia is a fantasy series about a land based on British and Japanese culture, and it depicts a people who are disenchanted with God and whose ancestors killed God and usurped His power.
This book contains suggestive themes.
This is the second edition of a book originally published in 2019.

November 19, 2025This book had everything I like in a story but I just didn’t like the way it was written. The contrast of using Japanese terms/expression along with old English was distracting. I DNF this book.
