In a world where demons rule, you either protect the wall or you survive inside it.
Warrior-born are the nation’s only defense against the demon hordes. With ethereal weapons summoned from ancient runes on their skin and added strength, they give their lives to serve the nation—and their numbers are running out.
Sixteen-year-old Rain Oren is a warrior-born, with secret abilities the other warriors don’t have. He is the last surviving member of a once-heroic family, now branded traitors. He struggles to hide his growing powers, too similar to the demons’ to be ignored.
Ostracized and bullied his whole life, Rain lives for the day he can graduate from the academy and take up a quiet post guarding the wall in his hometown.To his surprise, he’s assigned a coveted spot on the Elite Squad, a close-knit secret ops team of the best warriors stationed in Centrum, the nation’s capital. When an increase of mysterious breeches to the wall occur around Rain, he uses his time in Centrum to find what really happened when he was a child.
Surrounded by the leaders who condemned his family, he must keep his unpredictable powers hidden, survive the Elite Squad, and find a way to get sent home.
Rain’s search uncovers a hidden plot leading to more questions. Why are demons increasing their attacks? Is he the only warrior with these powers? What really happened to his family and will he be able to handle the truth?
AUTHOR NOTE:I'm super excited to share my very first completed story with you. I appreciate any feedback and would love to know what you think.I'm a huge fan of hidden worlds, other dimensions, and supernatural/paranormal manga and anime. I was inspired by Attack on Titan for the layout of this world and some character weapons from Blue Exorcist.
I hope you enjoy!

- Captain UpsetmanRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5Very interesting story so far, if you're a fan of post-apocalyptic knight-like stories, it may be worth giving this a shot, it's a fairly easy read with only minor grammar mistakes. Story is still in early phase and a lot of the world and characters haven't been fleshed out yet. At this current point in time, our MC is a very confused teen unsure what's happening to him and can't ask anyone since he's being judged for the apparent sins of his fallen, traitorous family. At this current point, he's clearly starting to mature emotionally since until now he's had to disassociate himself with everything and everyone. Looking forward to see where the story continues to go and how MC will open up, not to mention if the people he decides to open up to are actually looking out for his best interests. Overall some very minor chichés about MC and potentially his fallen family having unknown power that has been hinted at being eerily similar to the grand enemy they're fighting against (demons I believe, maybe demon born?), but done in such a way that it isn't shoved in your face every five minutes. Keen to find out how author plans to use unknown power/energy going forward in the world they're creating.
- oxygen5011Royal Road★★★ 3.0I'm not fan of great friendship stories. Tough and lone guy is cracked by his new team members.
Mc's been blamed, beaten and abused then magically accepted into a special team where most of them have similar situations, struggles similar to his. I think it's a plot overy used and could make you lose your interest.
Except a few chapters, story evolves around mc and team member's dialogs and stories. To me it slows the story, sacrificing early chapters for building friendship and sunshine. The motto and ideas put in the team can make one think it's a charity organization, taking poor people to make them bond together.
In short, the story isn't bad, could be better if it's not too focused on the friendship route.
