In a world where devils are a nightmarish reality and Japan stands as the epicenter of ultimate darkness, a relentless war has raged for millennia. At its heart lies "The Flower: The Creator of the Living"—the primordial source of all existence. Akos, a formidable sorcerer, is the world’s final defense. He is the wielder of the "Infinite Eyes," a legendary power that is neither a technique nor a gift, but Nature’s own response to existential threats. The Infinite Eyes manifest only when the world is on the brink of collapse, making Akos the only being capable of stopping the atrocious Yugo Kanji. Unable to kill a force of nature, Kanji devises a sadistic masterstroke: he imprisons Akos within a "Fake World." To ensure his suppression, Kanji forges a pact with the malevolent entity "DEVILS END," turning Akos into a living vessel for the demon. Every day is a losing battle for Akos. Inside this simulated reality, DEVILS END exerts total control over his mind, weaving a web of hallucinations and lies. Akos wanders through his life as a member of the "ALPHA" gang, lost and broken, haunted by visions of things that do not exist. As the demon erodes his sanity, Akos struggles to distinguish truth from the nightmare projected into his brain. But the simulation is not perfect. While Kanji sends rival gangs to eliminate his physical form, eerie discrepancies in the Fake World’s history begin to surface. Through the fog of the demon’s lies, the Infinite Eyes are starting to twitch. Will Akos regain control of his mind and shatter the illusion, or will the demon’s whispers extinguish the world’s last hope forever?

And who is the strongest awakener, you ask? Of course… it’s me.
