What does it feel like to be hunted down by the whole just for being overpowered?
___

For centuries, the realms feared one thing, the birth of a child under the Blood Moon. A cursed child with the power to destroy everything.

Every two hundred years, it happens. And every time, the realms unite to erase that child before their powers awaken.

But this time, the Blood Moon didn’t rise. And yet, the child was born.

Kaizen, 18 years old, was believed to be powerless, an ordinary hunter with no magic or magic core. What no one knew was that his abilities had been sealed since birth. Not just one, but all five elemental powers, water, fire, earth, ice, and shadow.

The same power that once shattered the balance of the world.

After a near-death encounter, the seal breaks. His powers begin to surface—unstable, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. Along with them comes a system that forces him to evolve and grow stronger. 

Now, Kaizen must hide the truth, survive among hunters, and face enemies far beyond anything he imagined. Because if the realms find out what he really is...

They won’t hesitate to kill him.

They promised this curse would never return.

They were wrong.

He vanished, blinked across the field with a single burst of wind, then appeared behind the farthest one and snapped its neck before it could even turn. The second turned and lunged blindly. Kaizen sidestepped, grabbed its head and slammed it down so hard, its skull split on a rock.


The final one stood frozen. Kaizen walked toward it slowly. 


It growled, a low desperate sound, then turned and ran.


Kaizen didn't chase. He just raised a hand.


A spear of fire shot forward, precise and silent, punching through the back of its skull.
