Thalia Rhea

Relic Hunting as the Apex Predator

Nuclear war has devastated the Earth, leading to the abandonment of nuclear weapons following the discovery of relics and bloodline traits. A contractor of a relic is endowed with superhuman strength and speed, as well as resilience to most physical damage and illnesses. Dante's job is to subdue contractors and recover illegal relics. He is the only contractor capable of bonding with five relics. As the youngest member of the famed legends, Dante was believed to have a perfect life. However, everything changed in an instant, shattering his ideal existence. For the first time, he found himself powerless. Once hailed as both a hero and a prodigy, Dante had been reduced to nothing more than a ruthless hunter. Although his team's efficiency and recovery rate are outstanding, their brutal methods often overshadow their achievements. Dante is no longer seen as the prodigy of the legends. His comrades view him as a loyal guard dog, while his enemies see him as a ruthless bloodhound. The Apex Institute is where teenagers train to become future leaders. Thalia and her friends are graduating this year. Thalia possesses a unique bloodline trait that allows her to command the weather; she can invoke storms simply by concentrating. She wants nothing more than to use her powers to help the relic retrieval task force. Apex has created special task forces, such as the Legends, to prevent relics from being used to cause harm. Thalia has always admired the Legends, and their dedication to justice is the primary reason she enrolled in the institute. The Legends are known as the champions of justice because they maintain order within the safety zone. Thalia desperately wants to change this twisted world and dreams of being a hero like her aunt (Tia) to save their crumbling world.
