the hero-worshipped world is built on a lie.

Humans stole the Seimei, an object the spirit beasts (reijū) need to reproduce, and heroes draw their powers from it.

In truth, his circle staged it, killing the couple who wanted to return the Seimei. Only their infant survived, saved by a reijū.Humans stole the Seimei, an object the spirit beasts (reijū) need to reproduce, and heroes draw their powers from it.
