In a world where demons, dragons, and forgotten gods vie for dominance, Noir-a former junk collector thrust into a realm beyond his understanding-finds himself at the center of a dark, unfolding mystery. Awakened in a new body after a brutal betrayal, Noir is driven by a singular desire for revenge against those who wronged him. But the rules of this world are unlike anything he's ever known, and he quickly realizes he's caught in a deadly game with no guide, no allies, and powers he can barely comprehend. Bound by an uneasy alliance with Asmodeus, a frustrated demon prince, and Takir, a cunning dragon spirit, Noir must navigate a treacherous landscape filled with ancient magic, powerful weapons, and shifting alliances. As he gains new abilities and confronts the dangers lurking in every shadow, he wields "The Grimreaper," a weapon feared even by gods-a hungry blade that craves the essence of its victims to grow stronger. With two powerful entities trapped in his mind and a mysterious dashboard visible only to him, Noir must learn to master the arcane forces at his disposal or risk being consumed by them. As the binding contracts tighten and new threats emerge, Noir's journey is one of survival, discovery, and the relentless pursuit of vengeance-where every step forward could lead to unimaginable power or utter annihilation. In a world where every choice is a gamble, can Noir find his way to revenge, or will he become just another pawn in a game played by forces far beyond his understanding?
