Prologue / Introduction:
Kenji was raised within the towering walls of a secluded village, a place built to protect humanity from the horrors beyond. Isang nayon na itinayo upang protektahan ang mga tao mula sa mga halimaw na nagtatago sa dilim ng mundo. Though he grew up under the care of a skilled hunter, palagi niyang nararamdaman na may kakaiba sa kanya. The others saw a quiet orphan boy, but deep down, Kenji could feel the blood of something ancient flowing through his veins. Isang dugong itinago para sa kanyang kaligtasan, at isang lihim na matagal nang pinagtakpan.
Every day, he trained with the other children in the village, pushing himself to be just like them, kahit na hindi ito naging madali. His strength grew in ways that didn't make sense. Habang ang iba ay nahihirapan pa lang sa mga simpleng gawain, he could run faster, lift heavier weights, and see farther than any of them. His senses were sharper, his instincts heightened, and it was as if something deep inside him was awakening with each passing day.
Sa mga simpleng gawain na ginagawa nila, lagi niyang nararamdaman na may kakaibang lakas siya, na hindi kasin-normal ng mga bata ng kanyang edad. Despite feeling out of place, Kenji didn't question it. He continued to live his life, training hard, and believing he was just another orphan trying to survive in a harsh world.
But no one ever told him the truth. They kept it hidden from him for years. Not until one fateful day, when everything changed. That was when the truth of his origins came crashing into his life. Isang katotohanan na magbabalik ng mga alaala ng isang digmaan at mga sakripisyo na magtutulak sa kanya upang iwanan ang tanging tahanang alam niya. A truth that would force him to leave the only life he had known, and embark on a journey that would reveal more about himself than he could ever imagine.
As Kenji learned the secrets about his lineage, he found himself torn between the life he thought he had and the terrifying destiny waiting for him. Was he truly the child of royalty, or was there something more sinister behind the veil of lies?
His quest would take him beyond the walls that had kept him safe, into a world filled with unimaginable dangers, where the truth about his powers—and his past—would be the key to everything. But would he be able to control the darkness within, or would it destroy the very person he once was?
