When a boy watches the Devil King tear his father from the world, vengeance becomes his only purpose. Bound to a blade bathed in the blood of ancient devils, he joins a ruthless cousin and an unexpected ally—the Devil King’s own forsaken son. Together, they carve a path through the ranks of hellspawn, facing horrors that twist the line between man and monster. But as they draw closer to the throne of darkness, the weight of blood, betrayal, and sacrifice threatens to shatter more than just their bodies. Not all who begin the journey will live to see its end.
Still bleeding from his defeat, Mortis awakens in the care of Arthur Pontiac, the reclusive doctor who once owed his life to Mortis’ vanished grandfather. As his wounds begin to heal, Arthur becomes more than a healer—offering Mortis harsh lessons in survival, combat, and the true nature of the devils. With renewed strength and purpose, Mortis sets out once more, following the scorched trail left behind by Protos. His pursuit leads him to a village engulfed in flames—where fate brings him face to face with the monster he failed to kill.
