Broke student bonds with a secretly sovereign specter in a deadly futuristic tournament.
In 2048, Elena risks everything in a lethal competition to cover her mother's medical expenses. A wealthy rival sabotages her by stealing her elite A-rank contract orb, forcing a bond with Lucian, an F-rank specter dismissed as worthless by everyone. The arena does not know that Lucian actually commands the Shadow Realm as its sovereign. As creatures stalk Elena through the trials, the game's concealed ruler begins to intervene, driven by a growing attachment that threatens to upend the competition's very foundation.
