Mutilated heir Kai defeats monsters summoned by a mutating impostor before leaving his toxic family with Marshal Ash.
Kai arrives back at the Hale estate missing an arm, the price of a frame-up that sent him into exile. Instead of refuge he finds his relatives' cold disdain while the household's false son twists into something inhuman and calls forth creatures to kill him. The fight forces Kai to prove he still commands power despite the missing limb, but victory brings no reconciliation. Marshal Ash steps in, offering the protection the family denied, and Kai accepts, severing ties with the bloodline that betrayed him.
