"I died. I was killed by the upperclassman I had a crush on."
I was seventeen, consumed by lust, and my life was rotting away. Then Tokugawa Sakura, that unattainable upperclassman, confessed to me.
I thought it was salvation, but at the happiest moment of my life, she sent me plunging into the abyss with her own hands.
When I woke again, the world had been turned upside down.
"Ibuki Ai, you are a 'Blank.'"
In other words, a legendary "Wandering Soul" with limitless psychic power, but an utterly empty heart.
And they called themselves the "Phoenixes."
"If you want to live, do what I say."
So I was forced to join them.
In this world of "Eternal Order," where consciousness is a weapon and psychic power determines everything,
I faced not only the ruling spirits known as the "Seven Sages," who watched me like predators, and the organization's strange "Satan Project,"
but also the upperclassman who had reappeared before me, her eyes filled with nothing but murderous intent.
I went from being a good-for-nothing lost in fantasies to a pawn, a vessel, and even... a sacrifice in the struggle between competing factions.
But...
"I once wanted to become someone's hero."
"Now, I've become everyone's nightmare."
