Detailing the events before the apocalypse, 15 year old Guren Ichi­nose enrolls at Daiichi Shibuya High, a magical training school.
Witness his trials as he must hide his true strength even as he is trampled on at a school for the insufferably privileged.
Would you doom your love to death to rescue your family?

Desperate to save his retainers and friends, Guren makes the ultimate sacrifice and gives up his humanity to accept the demon in his cursed gear, thereby transforming himself into a demon as well. His newfound demonic powers help him protect the people important to him, but the victory is short-lived.

Left with no more to go on than cryptic messages about a secret research project that could destroy the world and whispers of an underground city of vampires, Guren must confront the most consequential choice of his life. And all the while, the clock counting down to catastrophe is ticking...
