Project Scard: Praeter no Kizu

In the futuristic, dystopian landscape of Akatsuki, a city fractured by an extraordinary rebellion, a select few possess divine tattoos that grant them superhuman abilities. These Scards, imbued with the power of mythical beasts, are forced into a deadly dance with a shadowy organization known as Dusk, who seek to exploit their gifts for their own nefarious ends. Amidst this simmering conflict, a new generation of Scards emerges, each burdened by their own pasts and uncertain futures, as they navigate a treacherous world where loyalty is a luxury and survival is the ultimate prize. As the lines between justice and vengeance blur, the young Scards — comprised of three distinct factions, each with their own ideals and methods — must confront not only external threats but also their own internal struggles. With the fate of Akatsuki hanging in the balance, they will discover that power comes at a steep price, and that true heroism often demands sacrifices beyond imagination. Can these disparate individuals forge a common path to protect their city, or will they succumb to the darkness that threatens to consume them all?
