The Area

In a world where 80% of children awaken a unique power at a young age, society as a whole classifies individuals according to their gifts, from Mediocre to World-Class. The powerful are revered. The powerless, forgotten.



Ushiro Yamato, abandoned at birth for his lack of power, grew up in the shadows. Mocked, ignored, nicknamed "the one who stays behind," he never displayed the slightest spark of energy. But he never stopped moving forward.



At the age of 11, he was allowed to participate in the Great Selection, a national test where even those without gifts can prove their worth. During an expedition into a thousand-year-old forest, he discovered an ancient circle, a sacred sword, and a forgotten prophecy. By binding his old training sword to this divine weapon, Ushiro activated a unique power: elemental duality.
