Stabbed to death by a random assailant, he awakens in a world where demons prey on humankind. Orphaned and cast aside, he is taken in by the Akai Clan—noble exorcists sworn to protect the living from the horrors of the demonic realm.

“You don’t have the bloodline. You’re just a normal child.”

“But if you want to survive, you’ll have to become an exorcist.”

“Only one in ten common-born exorcists lives past twenty. Train like your life depends on it—because it does.”

With no gifts, no lineage, and no shortcuts, his fate is sealed: adapt, or die.

To protect his life—and the people he comes to care for—he embraces a brutal training regimen that pushes body and soul to their limits. And in time, the boy everyone dismissed as ordinary carves out a legend of his own.

This is the story of how sheer effort defied destiny—and how the weakest became the strongest exorcist in the world.
