Katheze Leinivern is a noble descendant who has the privilege of ruling one of the five regions of this kingdom. In a world where everyone has almost lost their magical energy, and magical potential can only reach 40%, he sees a lot of crime happening in his region. Rape, slavery, addiction to illegal substances, humiliation, discrimination, animal exploitation, resource exploitation, and various other terrible things are truly happening in Fernmels. Katheze truly wants to destroy these corrupt people, but because his magic can't be used for fighting, he has to recruit talented people who can help him carry out his wishes. Fortunately, he has found talented people who he believes could help him improve his territory. First, Roxer, a street fighter who possesses blood magic. However, the only blood he can control is the blood in his hands and feet. Second, Vinessa, a flower seller who possesses flower magic. However, the only flowers she can grow are poisonous ones. Third, Carl, a nobleman who possesses object manipulation magic. However, the only objects he can manipulate are playing cards. Fourth, Zhatten, a ninja who possesses crow magic. However, the only crow he can connect with is one crow. What to Expect: - A vast fantasy world with many mysteries yet to be explored and uncovered. - A team of assassins directly commanded by the nobility to kill corrupt and evil individuals who cause harm. - A seemingly simple but actually very complex magic system, as each spell has its own limitations and advantages. - Every assassination, death, battle, and other events are cleary described. - Several main characters come from diverse backgrounds and each has their own unique abilities. - Eliminating evil and corrupting elements in a sinister way: by assassinating. - In addition to individual combat, there are numerous team battles that allow for combination attacks.
