In a world ruled by Mana and divided by power, five great clans once stood at the peak of supremacy. When fear of dominance drove four clans to unite against the strongest among them-Dragon Peak-the balance of the world shattered. Victory came at a cost. Dragon Peak fell. Its name was buried in ash. And its bloodlines were left broken. Among the ruins survives the Shigure family, a lineage cursed by an ancient imbalance: the first child is always born with overwhelming strength, while the second is born nearly powerless, rejected by Mana itself. No one knows why. As the world celebrates the fall of the strongest clan, a quiet truth begins to surface-power does not always choose the strong, and destiny does not always favor those who shine. This story follows the path of the forgotten child-born weak, cast aside, and forced to walk where others cannot. In a world that worships strength, he must confront a question more terrifying than battle: What is the price of power... and who pays it? Blending action, supernatural warfare, emotional drama, and slow-burning romance, this anime explores sacrifice, legacy, and the dangerous truth behind inherited power.

I thought I was tall but this man could tower me, and when he reaches a hand towards me, there's an intricate clock tattooed on the back of his hand and his fingers have bones tattooed over them. This man is not human. He's tall and angular and dripping with sex appeal. This man is hot. Capital H, capital O, capital T. I don't think I've ever seen a human being so attractive. All I can think about as I force myself to keep my eyes on the screen is the feel of his jaw beneath my hand, and it takes everything in me not to look
