Shadow Cornea
After his family home was invaded by the Yakuza, Alvin’s life was shattered forever. They killed his parents right before his eyes, and because he had witnessed something he wasn’t supposed to see, they decided not to kill him like the others. Instead, they chose a crueler punishment — they destroyed his sight, yanking his eyes from their sockets.
Left alone, blind, and bleeding, Alvin stumbled through the streets, desperate for help. But fate had one last tragedy in store. He was struck by a car and died instantly.
Yet death wasn’t the end for him. Fate had found its pawn for whatever game it was playing. Alvin was reborn — reincarnated as the son of the greatest family the world had ever known: the Ruse. A royal guard lineage of hunters who served directly under the King and Queen.
But even on the day of his birth, Alvin was rejected. Because of one minor flaw — one that could’ve been fixed — he was born blind. His mother deemed him useless, while his father called him a disgrace to their bloodline.
They ordered a servant to “put him out of his misery.” But the servant, unable to harm an innocent child, chose instead to abandon him at the doorstep of a young couple — a pair who had just lost their own child to demons, and whose mother could no longer bear children.
The couple took the baby in and named him Cyrus. They loved him unconditionally, blind or not. And so, Alvin was reborn under a new name, Cyrus Daywalker, the son of a humble but loving family.
Cyrus grew up in a world of magic — a world torn apart by an endless war between humans and a demonic race known as the Fiends. To survive, he had to adapt. Fortunately, his adoptive parents were far from ordinary.
They were powerful mages — Daywalkers, known for their ability to form contracts with devils they defeated. Under their guidance, Cyrus learned their ways. And one fateful day, he managed to defeat a devil himself.
That single act changed everything. The contract granted him power beyond his wildest imagination — and restored his sight.
Now able to see once more, Cyrus walks in both the human and demon worlds. He rises to become one of the strongest mages and a hunter-in-training at a prestigious magic academy.
But as he delves deeper into his powers, he begins to uncover secrets about his past life, his true identity, and the fate that connects both worlds. With every battle fought and every truth revealed, Cyrus edges closer to understanding why he was chosen — and what destiny awaits him in this war between light and darkness.
