He could beat most enemies, but there’s no way out, there’s no people, a world of loneliness. After few months surviving in that dark world, he braved himself to venture even further. There he encountered a white giant winged beast, an apostle, which instantly made holes in his body and consuming flesh.

In the distant past, it was called a Divine Beast, now it’s a cute cat that will accompany Shuuya in his adventures.
