In the world of Veridia, a land scarred by the ancient Great Calamity, society is protected by the Hunter's Guild—an organization of warriors, mages, and monster slayers ranked from the lowly F-Ranks to the legendary S-Ranks.

Among the handful of S-Rank parties stands "The Crimson Bloom": a team as famous for their incredible power as they are for their catastrophic dysfunction.

Rutilus Akabane

Their hopeful leader. A young prodigy burdened by the legacy of his Silver Eyes—a divine power that cost his mother her life—he fights to protect everyone, terrified of the day his optimism might not be enough.

Kanako "The Bull" Akabane

Rutilus's older sister and the party's human battering ram. Lacking any magic of her own, she has trained her body into an unbreakable shield, her boisterous and arrogant demeanor hiding a crippling fear that her strength alone can't protect the little brother she adores.

Kirin

The mythic duelist. An elegant, icy perfectionist who is secretly a humanoid Elder Dragon, she views her teammates' chaotic methods with cold disdain, her superiority absolute until her own hidden vulnerabilities are exposed.

Lotte Jaeger

The furious genius. A master Rune-Scribe whose abrasive personality is a fortress built around the trauma of witnessing her own father's death. She trusts only in logic and her own inventions, viewing everyone else as a dangerous, incompetent variable.

Alma Morales

The quiet anchor. A former monastic healer who abandoned a life of peace for the chaos of the road, she is the party's soul. Her gentle, sleepy presence and subtle magic are the only things keeping this volatile mix of personalities from exploding.

They are a found family forged in fire, held together by the thinnest of threads. But when a threat from the past re-emerges, their fragile alliance is pushed to the breaking point. Morwen, the Lady of Sorrows, a tragic figure from the Great Calamity and the first of the soulless Fallen, has risen. Wielding her own twisted version of the Silver Eyes, she seeks not to conquer the world, but to "save" it by extinguishing all life and bringing about a silent, painless oblivion.
