When The Chains Awakened1

A prodigy mocked as a failure… until the Chains awakened. --- He was the shame of the Taima Dan. Born with the strength of a captain, the instincts of a warrior, and the speed to outrun veterans — yet completely useless on the battlefield. Because no matter how hard he trained, no matter how many times he swung his blade… he couldn’t kill a single demon. He couldn’t channel his Ki. His talent meant nothing. And the prodigy they once praised became the failure they mocked. Still, he refused to break. He trained, bled, and endured, hoping that one day his Ki would finally answer him — and he could stand as a true demon slayer. But everything changed on the day the Chains awakened.
