The Quiet Mark

In the world of The Quiet Mark, power isn’t just gifted—it’s ranked. Nine Generations define humanity's supernatural capabilities, from the dormant to the godlike. Your Generation is your value. And if you’re born with nothing? You’re less than nothing.



Nageya Raman is a calm, mysterious high schooler with white-blue hair, blue eyes and a quiet presence—but behind his cool façade lies something deeper. As a Nie (a rare blend of African and Japanese descent), he’s used to being watched and whispered about.



But at Zaikoku High, where students train to master their supernatural abilities, Nageya keeps to himself. He only helps others when they explicitly ask—never before.



Until the day everything changes.



During a sparring match at school, a new student Kaito—a 6th Generation Sound wielder—defeats a fellow student fire user without even activating his powers. Soon after, a series of battles erupt, each revealing just how unpredictable the Generational hierarchy truly is.



But the real test comes when Nageya and a group of chosen students—including the stalking new student–Kaito, the enigmatic Ike, and the observant Hiyori—are invited to challenge a dungeon deep within a restricted zone.



What starts as a test spirals into chaos. In a flash of light and distortion, Nageya, Ike, Hiyori, three powerful guild presidents (including Nageya’s father and Hiyori’s father), and five elite hunters find themselves sealed in separate, unknown terrains—deserts, snowfields, and forests—by forces they don’t understand.



In the searing heart of the desert, Nageya and Ike face off against a monstrous creature—part dinosaur, part beast. With no sword and only his instincts, Nageya is forced to awaken something buried within him: thunder. A living power that transforms his blade, warps time and form, and changes everything he thought he knew about himself.



But the desert is just the beginning.



Back at Zaikoku High, more mysteries are unraveling—rivalries between Nie and native students, suppressed memories, hidden pasts, and unspoken affections. Ayumi, a seemingly aloof student, might know more about Nageya than she lets on. Kaito watches from the sidelines with eyes too sharp to be ordinary. And Hiyori? She’s hiding something behind that careful politeness.



As the sealed world begins to collapse and unknown enemies stir, Nageya must confront not only the strange marks on his skin—but also the haunting words of his past:



"You’re not supposed to exist."



In a world where power is everything, what happens when your power doesn't follow the rules?

Nageya is yet to awaken even more, and this scares those who know.
