Long ago, the Oritochi Clan was the most substantial family in humanity. They had special abilities that showed what it meant to be human. At the center of their story were two strong forces: Human, representing creation and endless ambition, and Rika, the force of destruction and decay. The conflict between Pikkion the Great, the tyrant and champion of the duality of man, and Doji, a stoic avenger bearing the severing blade, left the clan divided and its descendants doomed to repeat their ancestors' tragedy.
Now, generations later, the Oritochi Clan is a shell of its former self-its bloodline cursed through the weight of unresolved hatred and ambition. Two brothers, Kamo and Madoka Oritochi, were born, the latest inheritors to bear their clan's fabled powers. Kamo, blessed-or cursed-by the oppressive brilliance that is Human, and his brother Madoka, filled with the cruel severance of Rika, felt themselves drawn into a circle of rivalry, guilt, and destruction.
After a sudden surge of power makes Kamo kill his parents and destroy his clan, he runs from his past, changes his name to Surge Hito, and becomes a cunning anti-hero. With the ability to change timelines and bend reality to gain wealth and control, Surge-on the surface-is consumed by his selfish ways, but deep down, he grapples with guilt over his lost brother and the weight of his inherited power. He changes Fate, breaking reality itself. This makes him both a savior and a destroyer. People see him as a hero, but he secretly uses his role for money and power.
Madoka chooses to be alone, accepting his role as the destroyer of connections and the bringer of destruction. Using Rika's power, Madoka wipes out whole timelines, turning away from humanity's pride and showing how pointless their lives are. His strong dislike for Kamo turns into an all-consuming idea, but his hidden love for his brother shows a weakness in his cold nature, making him both frighteningly distant and sadly vulnerable.
Born not for love, but for science.
After losing his prodigy stepson, genius inventor Luke Marunong creates a machine that builds life from DNA, his final attempt to reclaim what was lost. The result? Sakay Marunong, codenamed SB-01: A synthetic boy crafted from both Luke's DNA and an artificial strain tracing back to Katipuna's founders, a peaceful nation known for intellect, not strength and combat.
But Sakay was no genius. He wasn't brilliant. He wasn't strong.
He's a test subject.
Raised not by warmth, but by pain, Sakay's childhood was a blur of Yakuza violence, assassin torture sessions, and cruel lessons taught by his stepmother Shinoko-a cold-blooded assassin from the Kashikoi Clan, who saw him as nothing more than the weak shadow of her late son.
Yet somewhere in that darkness... something bloomed.
Brief moments of peace. Smiles shared. Bonds formed-only to be ripped away as both Luke and Shinoko, and Himari his little stepsister, vanished without a trace. Now, with only his Aunt Shinobi by his side, Sakay waits. For answers. For their return. For closure.
Until then, he survives.
In the continent of Sasia which is ruled with violence and strength, taking place in a violent city named Sutajima, Jihon.
Ruled by The Underground, with Yakuza cold wars, assassin organizations, and teenage gang syndicates called Sukcho, Sakay is thrown into a new battlefield...
Fujikama High School-home to the infamous "Gakunaga", the most feared Sukcho faction gang of them all.
No powers. No genius intellect. No strength.
Just survival, kindness, and a heart that refuses to die.
He fights because it's the only way to keep moving until his family who disappeared come back.
