Chapter 1 - The Useless Son

Beneath the shadow of the Asura Clan's sacred mountains, the 7th son of the 8th Clan Head walked alone.

His name was Kuro—pale-skinned, black-eyed, silent. A ghost among the living. Born from a mother who vanished before his first breath, raised in the shadow of six extraordinary brothers, and branded as the one with "a sealed fate."

The clan said he was cursed.

His father, Lord Asanagi, sat at the helm of the 8th Clan Branch. A man of terrifying presence—cultivation level 7, Middle Ascension Stage—whose very aura bent the knees of ordinary men.

And yet, that man never once spoke Kuro's name in public.

"He has no aura. No ambition. No future. What use is a son without a Divine Body?"

The Awakening Ceremony was to be held at dawn.

The valley was already adorned with red lotus banners, the stone altar carved with ancient sigils from the time of the Founding Asura. Torches burned with silver flame, watched over by the 9th Elder, who had returned from ten years of silent meditation.

This was the ceremony that would mark Kuro's worth. Or bury it forever.
