300 years after the rise of interdimensional portals, Earth has become a fused battlefield of monsters, magic, ki, and fallen worlds. Humanity adapted, evolved, and climbed to impossible heights—forming fragile alliances civilizations and building a global order known as the Great Alliance. But peace was never stable. Above nations and empires rose beings who broke every limit of existence—humans who transcended reality itself. They were called “Gods.” A single one could shift the fate of entire worlds. And where absolute power exists… so does fear. From that fear was born something worse. The Godslayers. No allegiance. No morality. No mercy.They hunt the strongest beings in existence—whether hero or tyrant—erasing anyone who reaches the summit of power. Even the so-called “Gods” are not safe from them. Entire factions collapsed in silence. Wars were ended before they could begin. And the world learned a simple truth: Nothing at the top is ever permanent. To counter them, one bloodline rose in defiance—the Saieki Clan, forged by a man who dedicated his life to hunting Godslayers themselves. For generations, they stood as the hidden wall between order and annihilation. But time does what enemies cannot. The Godslayers vanished. Missions stopped. The world moved on. And the Saieki Clan was forgotten. Now, in a world that believes the threat is gone, the last heir of that legacy—Kaito Saieki—lives as an ordinary student… in a world that has never truly been safe. Because when hunters of Gods exist… peace is only the calm before the next execution.
