In a world ravaged by powerful demons, humanity stands on the brink of extinction. Their only hope lies in the discovery of Demon Masks—artifacts forged from the essence of slain demons that grant incredible powers to their wearers. However, these masks are dangerous: only those compatible with the demonic energy can survive the bonding process, while the rest meet a grisly death.

Sunny Walker, an orphan who lost his parents to a demon attack, joins the government’s experimental program in hopes of gaining the power to seek revenge. Along with six other volunteers, Sunny is chosen to test the most dangerous masks yet—those created from the essence of a catastrophic-class demon that nearly destroyed humanity. Each mask contains fragments of the demon’s immense power: Gravity Manipulation, Spatial Manipulation, Mind Control, Shadow Manipulation, Lightning Manipulation, and Wind Manipulation.

Sunny is given Mask 7, an unknown and seemingly useless artifact. While the other six quickly harness their powerful abilities, Sunny’s mask remains silent. However, instead of being dismissed, he is trained alongside the others, as all the masks enhance their physical abilities, making them formidable fighters.

As Sunny trains, he soon discovers that his mask holds the most dangerous power of all: Absorption—the ability to absorb and mimic the powers of any demon or Mask Bearer he kills. With each use of this ability, he not only gains strength but also begins to hear the voice of the catastrophic demon whose essence resides within him, urging him to unleash his true potential.

With humanity’s survival on the line, Sunny must navigate a dangerous world where Mask Bearers are both heroes and monsters, all while battling the influence of the demon within. As the demon threat escalates and tensions rise among the Bearers, Sunny faces an impossible choice: embrace his mask’s full power and the voice of the demon or sacrifice himself to stop the resurgence of the very demon that once nearly destroyed the world.

Masks of the demon (Bearers)

In a dystopian world ravaged by powerful demons, humanity has developed a groundbreaking technology: Demon Masks. These masks, forged from the essence of slain demons, grant incredible powers to those who are compatible. However, the bond is permanent. Once a mask accepts its wearer, it becomes part of them, fusing with their soul. The only way for a mask to be used by another is if the bearer dies, releasing the mask to the next potential candidate.

If someone who is incompatible tries to wear a mask, they will be overwhelmed by the demonic energy and die a gruesome death. Because of this danger, wearing a mask is both a coveted honor and a death sentence for many. The government openly promotes this program, leading to a new society where Mask Bearers are both revered and feared. They are the front line against the demons, but they also represent the fine line between humanity and monstrosity.

Humanity is on the verge of extinction due to repeated attacks by powerful demons. These demons are growing stronger, adapting, and humanity has no answer to their relentless onslaught. In a desperate bid, a breakthrough is made—a scientist discovers how to break down demon essence and forge it into powerful Demon Masks. These masks can give humans the powers of the demons they are made from, turning them into humanity's best weapon.

The government sanctions the creation of many masks and builds a social structure around them. Entire academies and organizations are formed to train Mask Bearers, and wearing a mask is seen as a way to achieve status, power, and purpose. However, masks are extremely dangerous—those who aren't compatible die horrific deaths.
