Stigma of an anomaly
The Hanma bloodline is feared and revered, but within its ranks, ambition, deception, and rebellion fester. A grand tournament, meant to showcase the strength of the clans, is underway, yet beneath the spectacle, hidden agendas unfold. Bruce, the reluctant heir, faces rejection from the very people he’s meant to lead, while Narberal is forced into a confrontation with those seeking revenge. Meanwhile, Ajax, a master of deception, has taken on the identity of Minato Hanma, waiting for the perfect moment to strike as the coveted artifact nears its reveal.
As warriors step into the arena, alliances are tested, and grudges resurface. Haruto Okamoto barely has time for introductions before Ren Kozuki’s sudden attack ignites the first battle, setting the stage for a ruthless competition. But this tournament is only the beginning—beneath the fights lies a greater scheme, where power struggles, betrayals, and long-buried secrets threaten to unravel the world as they know it.
