Daito Saga: Fair Play

Blackburn_Orbs
Grimvale is a dystopian city suffocating under the weight of a rampant virus known as Disorder, which mutates its victims into terrifying, monstrous beings known as Freakers. Amidst the chaos, seventeen-year-old Daito Greyhell walks a dangerous line between survival and humanity. Trained by his father, a fallen hero, and his uncle, a ruthless killer, Daito is a master of combat — but it’s his unwavering moral compass that sets him apart in a city where corruption and violence reign. Daito becomes a reluctant protector, quietly battling the Freakers that plague Grimvale, using his skills to save those he can, even if it means walking away from the bloodied streets feeling more burdened than ever. But when the government deploys the "Savages" — dangerous individuals who gain monstrous power through the alchemy of human sacrifice — Daito's resolve is tested. In a city where strength is bought through sacrifice, Daito refuses to succumb to the same brutal path, even as he faces new, twisted enemies. As a wave of Savages sweeps through the city, led by those who believe that power and mercy must be bought with blood, Daito must confront not only the Freakers and Savages but the growing question of what it means to truly fight for what’s right. Torn between duty, grief, and the desire to hold onto his humanity, Daito must find a way to carry Grimvale’s broken weight without becoming a monster himself. But the city's dark heart is closing in, and soon, even the strongest may not survive without losing everything. Grimvale is a tale of survival, sacrifice, and the price of power in a world that has forgotten what it means to be human.

The Extra: Subject 082

Rio only wanted to see how the story ended. Instead, he woke up inside it. Not as the protagonist, not even as a supporting character—but as someone who barely existed in the narrative. An extra with no importance, no future, and no place in the story’s direction. At least, that’s how it was supposed to be. Now in the body of Rio Valen, a disgraced noble exiled from his own house, he finds himself in a region the original story barely touched—one driven as much by advanced technology as it is by arcane power. And buried beneath it, something far worse. The facility he wakes up in shouldn’t exist. The experiments conducted there shouldn’t have succeeded. And whatever was placed inside him was never meant to survive. As fragments of memory return—both his own and the life he inherited—Rio begins to understand the situation he’s in. The world still follows its original course. The key figures are still moving toward the same future. But his existence doesn’t fit anywhere within it. Even so, people begin to notice him. Not because of who he is—but because of something they can’t quite explain. A presence. A flaw. Or something far more dangerous. Some approach out of curiosity. Others, for reasons he doesn’t understand. And a few, simply because staying away isn’t an option. With no role to follow and no clear path ahead, Rio is left with a simple choice: Stay invisible and survive. Or step into a story that was never meant to include him. Because in a world that already has its main character— an extra that shouldn’t exist might be the only thing that can change it. **The cover used is temperoray, I hold no credits towards the art**
