Two skilled soul hunters cross paths with Death City, unaware their quiet precision is about to pull them into the world of meisters, madness, and fate.
At Rasetsu Academy, where Oni are trained to master their blood and survive a world that fears them, a new teacher quietly joins the faculty. Known only as Y/N, she is calm, unreadable, and vastly more dangerous than she lets on. Assigned to Mudano Naitō’s class, her presence begins to shift the balance—challenging the students not just to grow stronger, but to confront what it truly means to be Oni in a world built to destroy them.
A century after her capture, Y/N—a legendary assassin believed dead—awakens from forced hibernation inside a corrupt scientific regime. The world outside has evolved into a cold, futuristic age, where assassins exist only as a secretive convent and Y/N’s name survives as myth, scripture, and warning. As the scientists scramble to contain what they never truly killed, the convent realizes the truth: the past’s most powerful weapon has returned—not by chance, but because the world has finally reached the moment she was meant for.
In a forgotten Section 8 complex known as The Heights, cut off from the city and watched too closely by the wrong eyes, an aging woman becomes the quiet center of a community shaped by poverty, discrimination, and violence—holding together eight lives that survive not because the world is kind, but because they are.
Living in the Dominican Republic with her mom and her new husband, Y/N feels caught between a homeland that’s hers and a family that doesn’t quite feel complete. When an Australian father and his adopted son, Brody, move in next door, sparks fly immediately—mostly the bad kind. But somewhere between arguments, shared secrets, and late-night talks, the two enemies become inseparable, proving that sometimes the people who clash with you the most end up knowing you best.
Long believed to be nothing more than myth, the Veilbound Covenant has protected the balance of the world from the shadows for centuries. They erase threats—and themselves—before history can notice.
