Makai: Ability Stealer
Synopsis: The Weak Could Become Stronger
In a world where magical abilities known as Makai define strength and status, Ed is an ordinary boy who dreams of greatness. As the only powerless member of the legendary S-rank adventurer party, Silver Wing, Ed endures relentless mistreatment from his teammates—except for their charismatic leader, Hiro, whom he admires deeply.
But Ed’s world shatters when he discovers the party’s dark secret: their power comes from draining life energy through forbidden rituals. Betrayed by the very person he idolized, Ed is left for dead in the wilderness.
On the brink of death, a mysterious dark light heals him and grants him an extraordinary Makai ability—*Ability Stealer*, a power that allows him to claim the magical abilities of others by stabbing them with a black-and-red sword. Fueled by revenge, Ed embarks on a journey to bring justice to the Silver Wing and prove that the weak can rise to unimaginable strength.
His first test comes when he rescues a royal caravan from thieves, discovering both his newfound strength and an unexpected connection with Olivia, the second princess of the kingdom. With his identity hidden and determination burning, Ed ventures into the world of adventurers, ready to challenge the injustices of his past and forge a destiny far greater than anyone could have imagined.
Themes: Betrayal, revenge, growth, and the relentless pursuit of strength.
