Bloodborne Paradox
The world did not end with a meteor or disease—it ended with evolution.
One day, humanity was gifted. Some could tear open the sky, others could twist the fabric of existence itself. But instead of a golden age, these newfound abilities plunged the world into anarchy. Nations crumbled, cities fell, and civilization shattered under the weight of its own power.
From the ruins, a new order emerged. The Global Administration took control, declaring that only the strong would rule. Those who refused to submit—the Outcasters—were driven into the husks of old cities, lawless wastelands filled with rebels, exiles, and monsters of their own making. And from this chaos, a new event was born:
The Dominion.
A brutal tournament held every four years, where only the strongest Gifted could compete. To win, one must fight their way through an Outcaster-infested city, battling both the damned and their own ruthless competitors. Victory grants not just glory, but a chance to challenge the reigning World Administrator for ultimate control.
Kazuki Enshō, however, is no contender.
In a world where others summon storms and bend time itself, Kazuki’s power is laughable—weak, insignificant, useless. Forced to scavenge and survive on cunning alone, he is nothing more than a ghost in the ruins, a nameless survivor.
But Kazuki refuses to be forgotten. He refuses to let fate dictate his end.
Because within him lies something darker, something far more dangerous than the gifts that shattered the world. And when it awakens…
The apocalypse will learn fear.
