Uriel the Victor

In a world defined by Conquerors Energy, Uri Akasake lives in the shadow of his older brother, Levi, who vanished years ago to pursue a cold ambition. Uri’s quiet mountain life is shattered when his guardian, Daigo, succumbs to a mental "disease," leading to a violent awakening of Uri’s dormant Magma Nature and a terrifying, pitch-black Kekkei Jutsu that Levi had desperately tried to suppress. After a brutal night where his village is razed by the mysterious Michiru, Uri is left scarred and alone. Seeking a new path, Uri moves to the city of Oukoku to attend the National Academy. Branded a "psycho" due to his trauma, he remains a shut-in until he meets Tori (Victory), a gentle girl whose love acts as a spiritual seal on his darkness. Just as Uri begins to find peace, the city is plunged into chaos by the Animaju—monstrous, liquid-metal beasts that mimic animals. This siege reveals the true power of Oukoku’s High-Rankers, like Isagi-sensei, and gives Uri a terrifying glimpse of Levi, who reappears in the shadows. The fallout of the attack accelerates the National Academy Exams, where Uri faces the tactical genius Giko Lancid in a legendary final showdown. Though victorious, Uri is assigned to a "powder keg" team with his rival Blyna and the stoic Yorozu. Their first mission—an escort for Tori—is a horrific trap. Controlled by the "puppeting spells" of Tori’s grandmother, Uri is forced to watch as his own hands kill Yorozu. Branded an S-Rank Rogue Fugitive, Uri flees into the wilderness. However, he is eventually hunted down and encased in a floating meteorite by a gravitational trance called Orbital Inebriation. The truth only emerges when his former rivals, Aizawa and Lancid, alongside Isagi, uncover a conspiracy. They realize the Animaju and the hunters were all pieces of a game played by a mysterious "Donor" obsessed with harvesting Uri's power. Freed from his stone prison but fueled by a new, cold resolve, Uri must now lead his friends into the heart of Oukoku’s secrets to find the man who pulled the strings—and finally confront the brother who let it all happen.
