STORY BEGINS

Once, all humans were ordinary.

No powers. No magic. Just life as we knew it.

But then, everything changed.

A spark ignited.

Strange, unique humans began to emerge — each with abilities the world had never seen.

Soon, 99% of all humanity developed supernatural powers.

But these powers weren't random.

They traced back to the very first —

The original ten.

The first to awaken.

Known as the Guardians of Magic, each one possessed a unique trait.

Together, their abilities formed the blueprint of all supernatural power known today.

But not all power stayed in balance.

One of them turned.

The Guardian Flame — once a symbol of light and leadership — was cast out.

Consumed by bitterness and isolation, his power twisted and darkened.

In time, he became a creature of vengeance… a monstrous being known only as the Beast.

He returned with wrath, wielding corrupted power, determined to destroy the others.

The war that followed shook the world.

It ended with the Beast sealed away…

But the price was unimaginable.

The Guardians were gone. Every last one.

And though their essence lived on in the powers of generations,

The age of the originals had ended.

Years passed.

Legends faded.

Magic evolved.

But not a single fire-borne soul had risen again…

Until now.

 

"Yo! Hold up! Before we get into the crazy stuff — lemme introduce myself real quick.

Name's Nesshou Genta.

Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking.

'That loud kid?'

'The one always doing something dumb?'

'Didn't he break his arm racing a cat once?'

Guilty.

I'm not the smart one. Not the serious one. I'm just… me.

A little wild, a little reckless, a lot of awesome.

I live with my gramps — old dude, big beard, yells a lot. Parents? Not in the picture. Car crash, long time ago. Sad, I guess... but I don't like sad stuff.

So I laugh. I run. I shout.

That's how I live.

Anyway — today's the day.

Sixteen.

The big one.

Everyone around the world gets their powers when they turn sixteen.

It's called the Awakening.

Doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, top student or class clown — when that clock hits, boom, your magic flares up.

What power will I get?

Who cares?!

All I know is this:

Whatever it is... I'm going to be number one.

Simple, right?"
