Channeling Infernal Energy to Kill Monsters
Twelve years ago, an orphanage was burned to ashes.
Steel melted, glass was turned to liquid.
Everyone inside the orphanage home died except one child.
Twelve years ago, the world should have ended for Kian the night the orphanage burned.
But he survived, and untouched by the fire, Kian was taken away by an assassin family that hunts supernatural monsters in a world where only a fraction of humanity can fight back.
Because of this, some call him the last Emberborn.
For years, Kian never believed it.
While others around him awakened strange abilities and trained, he endured, watching and waiting with no clear power of his own and no certainty that he would survive the next death scare.
But that changes when a long-delayed test awakens the infernal energy within him.
The truth is revealed. Kian doesn’t ignite the flame; he commands it.
Sealed records resurface, old purges are remembered, and Crestfall sends him on a mission meant to measure his limits.
The mission fails. Not because Kian is weak, but because his power breaks something far beyond reasoning. And Crestfall realizes something far more dangerous: Kian's flame doesn't resist suppression.
It doesn't rage, rather, it acknowledges him.
As something old begins to stir, Kian steps into a world of quests, rankings, and monsters, where survival is never guaranteed.
