A Night Meant to Bleed

Shiro Asahina shouldn’t be alive. With no memory, strange white hair, and a power he can’t control, he enters Shikai Academy — a place of elegance, elemental magic, and deadly secrets. Here, art is power, and every student has a unique style. But Shiro’s art is different. It’s feared. It’s forbidden. And it’s slowly consuming him. When his long-lost brother returns as a masked revolutionary wielding terrifying magic, Shiro is thrown into a hidden war between the Five Noble Families — the legendary founders of magic — and a shadow organization that knows the truth behind the world’s forgotten history. With the help of Arien, a bold commoner who isn’t afraid to challenge the nobles, Shiro begins to uncover the dark legacy he was born into. But some truths are better left buried. As the academy fractures and ancient beings stir in the realms beyond, Shiro must confront a devastating choice: Embrace the monster he was born to be… or erase himself to save those he loves. A Night Meant to Bleed is a sweeping dark fantasy of brotherhood, sacrifice, and magic — where one boy’s forgotten past could doom or redeem a world built on lies.
