Synopsis:

In a world where individuals possess unique abilities, Kai has long relied on the protection of ASHURUM, an organization that fostered his powers alongside his sister, Hikaru. Their fragile peace is disrupted when Kai is recruited into AESES, ASHURUM’s elite special force, undergoing rigorous training to hone his potential. Despite excelling in his duties, Kai's concern for Hikaru, who remains confined to a hospital within the organization's facilities, intensifies as her health deteriorates. Driven by a desperate need to safeguard his sister's well-being and perhaps question the very nature of ASHURUM, Kai makes the difficult decision to abandon his post and flee the only life he’s ever known. The series explores themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the complex relationship between duty and personal responsibility within a tightly controlled world.
