Shadows consume everything Raizen holds dear, leaving only vengeance in their wake—a blood oath to extinguish every Nyx that draws breath. Alongside him walks Hikari, an enigmatic figure shrouded in forgotten memories and bound by a cursed destiny she cannot break. From ruined lands to The Underworks' depths, through the prestigious halls of Neoshima's Lotus Academy, they face relentless trials: cunning assassins, ruthless wardens, concealed adversaries, shocking betrayals, and formidable challengers at every turn. As hidden truths unravel and latent abilities surge forth, the boundary between salvation and ruin crumbles beneath their feet—forcing them to question what it means to be human. With darkness claiming the world, one certainty prevails: The true war has merely begun. [FREE 50 CHAPTERS BEFORE LOCK]
