Heroes Were Never the Apex

In a world where superpowers define civilization, humanity believes itself to be the apex of evolution.

Heroes uphold order. Villains threaten it. And Quirks explain everything.

Until something arrives that cannot be explained at all.

After a catastrophic anomaly during a hunt on the Origin Isles, the legendary Elder Dragon known as the Ruiner Nergigante vanishes without a trace. Moments later, it reawakens in an unfamiliar world,reborn in the fragile body of a young girl, bearing only fragments of its former monstrous self.

But instinct does not die with flesh.

Deep within her remains the hunger of the Extinction Dragon,an apex predator evolved to hunt the strongest beings in existence. And in a society overflowing with powerful Quirks, she quickly learns that "heroes" and "villains" still carry something disturbingly familiar... the same energy as the Elder Dragons she once hunted.

People begin to disappear.

Hero bodies are recovered with impossible injuries.

Entire investigations collapse under contradictions that should not exist.

And in the shadows of Musutafu, an urban legend spreads: a horned girl with black wings and crimson eyes who consumes anything strong enough to resist her.

Some believe she is a mutation.

Some believe she is a new kind of villain.

Others begin to fear something worse-that she is not from their world at all.

Meanwhile...

On the Origin Isles, the surviving hunters and their Handler are left with an impossible aftermath.

The Ruiner Nergigante has vanished mid-hunt, leaving behind no trace of its existence.

After searching for answers, after countless years of research, they finally find the cause.

And they are more than willing to continue their unfinished hunt...
