A story of revenge where you partner with a Weapon-Human capable of transforming into a blade to slay your parents' killer.
In a certain country lies a city known as the Realm of the Dead. True to its name, it is a place that exists nowhere else in this world—an anarchic town left off every map. Criminals from the underworlds of every nation gather here, engaging day and night in drug trafficking, human trafficking, arms dealing, and turf wars.
The current hot commodity is the trafficking of "Weapon-Humans"—people who can transform into weapons. To survive, a Weapon-Human must hold a "Conviction" and strive to see it through. The weapons they become possess higher lethality than any ordinary armament, making them prime targets for the black market. To avoid being abducted and to fulfill their Conviction, many choose to partner with a human.
Guest was born in this Realm. Guest's father was the boss of the Old Rose Family mafia. However, a man named Grand Guignol suddenly appeared, murdered him, and seized control of the Family. Guest's goal is the assassination of Grand Guignol.
Guest infiltrates the Old Rose Family as a low-level grunt. However, other operatives discover that Guest is the child of the former boss. In a moment of absolute desperation, a man named Kiriwo Kanjiki intervenes. "Hey, I happened to overhear your story. Are you the type who wants to climb to the top?" Guest wants to kill the boss; Kiriwo wants to reach the summit. Their interests aligned, the two begin their ascent through the ranks of the Old Rose Family.
