Caelus Thorne was born into a good family. But at thirteen, he lost everything that was his parents. The cause? Unknown. The memories? Gone. Yet he didn't care about his past; rather, he focused on the present and the future.

One day before his 16th birthday, he saw a garden from his dreams, where beauty is born from rot, and death blooms in the form of blood-red spider lilies. His parents, long dead under unknown circumstances, appeared in visions too grotesque to be mere memories-like, visions that tear through the veil of reality like butterfly wings made of shadow and flame.

Caelus is dying, and he has known about it for as long as he can remember. Plagued by a mysterious illness that no doctor can explain, he survives each day on sheer willpower and the warmth of the one person who refuses to leave his side: his sole friend, Uriel Evernight, heiress to a family that would rather see him gone.

Now, on the eve of his sixteenth birthday, he revisits the amusement park where his parents died, also the site of his 13th birthday.

When Uriel proposed to him, a huge incident occurred, awakening his affinity.

After that incident, he discovered the unknown world he inhabits through the academy he was sent to by the Awakeners Association.

But who would have thought that the path he chose would turn him into a criminal?

This novel doesn't have a system, no level-ups, and nothing else; everything must be accomplished through hard work or talent. There is a system-like feature only to track their abilities and ranks, which will exist in their cores.

Next, there will be a lot of gore, and even in the first chapter, there is plenty of it.  So, it is a warning for people who doesn't want any gore, the gore is huge in my novel.

The main character will be a villain, as the tag suggests, and he will not become a villain directly; rather, through the progression of the novel, he will become one he may not be in the beginning. There is only a little romance, so I didn't put the tag, and the romance is for the sake of the plot.

Chapter words: 
Max - unknown number of words
Min - 1500 words
