Masaru Ryunosuke is an outcast—a scholarship student in a school of elites, struggling to keep his head down in a world that looks down on him. But when a chance encounter with a vampire attack leaves him at death’s door, he wakes up to a new reality—he's no longer human.

Now a ghoul, the lowest rank of undead, Masaru finds himself thrown into a world of ancient bloodlines, deadly supernatural creatures, and secret organizations hunting beings like him. His only guide? Akane Mikazuki, the cold and ruthless noble vampire who saved him, but only for her own mysterious reasons.

Armed with the Cape of Dracula, an artifact of legendary power, and an unnatural potential that defies vampire logic, Masaru refuses to accept his fate as a weakling. If the world wants to treat him like a mere undead—then he’ll rise above them all and prove them wrong.

As battles erupt between vampires, werewolves, assassins, and monstrous beings, Masaru must claw his way up the supernatural hierarchy before he’s devoured by forces beyond his comprehension. Because in this world, the weak exist only to be devoured.

But what happens… when an undead refuses to stay at the bottom?

Akane stood at the balcony of her room, gazing at the night sky. The pale glow of the moon bathed her in a silvery light, making her silver hair shimmer like a curtain of starlight. Despite the heavy weight of her recent ordeal, she no longer looked as fragile as she had two weeks ago. Her face, once ashen, had regained some of its color, a testament to the healing process that had slowly begun. Losing a blood essence wasn't something one could easily bounce back from—it was akin to losing a part of your very lineage, your connection to your own bloodline. But with enough training and rigorous Rituals, recovery was possible, though it would take at least a month to fully regain her strength.
