Masaru Ryunosuke is an outcast—a scholarship student in a school of elites, struggling to keep his head down in a world that looks down on him. But when a chance encounter with a vampire attack leaves him at death’s door, he wakes up to a new reality—he's no longer human.

Now a ghoul, the lowest rank of undead, Masaru finds himself thrown into a world of ancient bloodlines, deadly supernatural creatures, and secret organizations hunting beings like him. His only guide? Akane Mikazuki, the cold and ruthless noble vampire who saved him, but only for her own mysterious reasons.

Armed with the Cape of Dracula, an artifact of legendary power, and an unnatural potential that defies vampire logic, Masaru refuses to accept his fate as a weakling. If the world wants to treat him like a mere undead—then he’ll rise above them all and prove them wrong.

As battles erupt between vampires, werewolves, assassins, and monstrous beings, Masaru must claw his way up the supernatural hierarchy before he’s devoured by forces beyond his comprehension. Because in this world, the weak exist only to be devoured.

But what happens… when an undead refuses to stay at the bottom?

Masaru's voice cut through the tense silence, sharp and laced with a little bit of irritation. "Why the hell are you staring at me like that?" His crimson eyes narrowed as he caught Akane's unblinking gaze, fixed on him ever since the artifact's evolution had completed. The air in the room felt charged, as if the very atmosphere acknowledged the shift in his presence. "I know I've gotten stronger, but still, it's a little too much shock coming from you!" he added, his tone softening slightly as he turned to grab a shirt from the nearby chair. As he moved, his eyes inadvertently fell on the mirror across the room, and his breath caught in his throat.
