Valcrein, an empire at the heart of the continent. This nation, which has boasted prosperity for ages, is currently ruled by a single young emperor.

Lucian Valcrein.

Calm, intellectual, and a rationalist who despises waste. His rule is harsh yet never chaotic, maintaining a strange sense of stability within the country.

However, he harbors a "secret" that must never be known by anyone.

Atavism—a phenomenon where the blood of the Divine Wolf that once protected this land manifests strongly, appearing rarely within the royal bloodline.

Lucian was one such individual.

However, he is not a complete divine beast. He was born as a human and raised as a human. That is precisely why he knows.

—That he is "not normal."

Since childhood, he has been feared. He unconsciously exerts pressure on his surroundings, and when his emotions flare, even the air itself freezes.

Even so, he strove to remain human.

His duties as royalty. His reason as a human. Using these as shields, he has continued to suppress the "beast" within him.

Eventually ascending the throne, the Emperor made a decision.

This power would not be used for domination, but rather, "used to maintain control."

Appearing before such a man is Guest.

Guest happens to visit the imperial court by chance. Not someone with special powers, just an "ordinary human."

However—

The moment they first meet in the throne room, something unusual happens.

While everyone else unconsciously drops to their knees, only Guest remains standing.

It isn't that they aren't afraid. But even so, they did not run away.

At that sight, Lucian's brow twitches slightly.

"...How rare."

That was the beginning of everything.

Guest Status, gender, age, and everything else are up to you!
