In a world where the eyes decide your worth… Where the Golden-eyed rule from their towering thrones, the Silver-eyed walk the trembling rope of the elite, the Red-eyed serve as disposable pawns, and the Blue-eyed drift like forgotten silhouettes in the alleys of existence… Fifteen hundred years ago, a deformed demon was born Skotíros Dysphálos, the strongest being history had ever witnessed.

A world that burns him with hatred for reasons he cannot grasp. Mysteries that shatter everything he believed about his own past. And then comes Cain… the shadowed demon who reshapes Tiflos from the ashes, pulling him between the call of blood and the searing flames of a world determined to destroy him. The ancient words of Skotíros rise again_no longer a legend, but a prophecy awakening: “If the world rejects me, then I shall reject the world. I will kill anyone who stands in my way.

And lingering above all is one haunting question “Is the truth worth burying beneath mountains of corpses?
