8 parts Ongoing Akihisa Youka - known to the world as EroNelly - was never meant to live an ordinary life. From the moment of his birth, fate carved a complicated path for him. Sealed away for years, his story truly begins when he is taken in by his foster grandfather, Nero, who forges him through brutal training and unending trials.
But deep within his bloodline lies a curse unlike any other. In his forgotten village, every child is born with a gift - yet his was different. Dangerous. Corrupting. A curse that twists both him and those around him. What the world sees as his shame - when women touch him, they lose control - is only the surface of something far more terrifying. For there are seven more layers to his curse, each darker and more destructive than the last... secrets even he has yet to uncover.
And yet, what should have broken him instead became his strength. With every trial, EroNelly grows sharper, faster, stronger - able to turn the very curse that torments him into a weapon for good. When he inherits the Runes of Lightning, his cursed blood and thunderous power fuse into something unstoppable.
That is why they call him the Cursed Hero.
A warrior who bears the sins of his bloodline yet fights to protect not just people, not just Earth - but even the multiverse itself.
EroNelly's path is not one of glory, but of sacrifice. He will endure suffering, carry struggles no one else can bear, and even offer his own life if it means others can smile. Again and again, he throws himself into the fire, never asking for salvation, only ensuring that everyone else is in good hands.
This is the beginning of his legend: the boy who was never meant to live, the outcast who turned his curse into a gift, and the hero whose fate to save everything.
