In The Water is the first narrative in The World of Korai Uji, offering a deep, personal look at Korainian life through the eyes of Nykia Nykia—a Redscale from The Mid Regions. As she turns 15 cycles old, stepping into new-adulthood, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, questioning faith, searching for meaning, and hunting for her Soulmate.
Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions—heartbreak, Soulmates, injustice, and Universe-breaking revelations. Through Nykia’s raw and unfiltered perspective, you’ll experience The World of Korai Uji as she does—one first at a time.
Her story unfolds over a cycle (about 1.2 Earth years), pulling you into her struggles, triumphs, and transformations. Love her or love to hate her, Nykia grants full access to her every thought, making In The Water as gripping as it is thought-provoking.
The best place to begin is Chapter One—In The Water follows Nykia’s perspective in chronological order, immersing you in her world from the very start.
Want to dive even deeper? Explore other WOKU experiences—listen to in-world music from the deepest Aqua Clubs or study Uji’s maps straight from official history annals. Follow Nykia’s POV for a guided journey through her story.
In The Water is where it all begins—the entry point into WOKU. But this isn’t just a coming-of-age story; it’s a diving board launching you into an intricate, interconnected world of lore. The characters you meet through Nykia’s eyes play key roles across Second Testimony, Korainian E.R.A., and the B&R Accounts of the Mother Isles.
