In a world where magic has faded into obscurity, Sakuramori Rion lives his tenth life.
Three centuries ago, the Sakuramori clan stood as guardians against evil, tasked with capturing and sealing beings that brought calamity to humanity. On the night Rion attempted to seal the most dangerous of them all—Wasureri—tragedy struck. Possession, bloodshed, and irreversible choices left the clan destroyed, and Rion condemned as a practitioner of dark magic by the one person he sought to protect.
In her grief, his mother, Sakuramori Meika, cursed him with her own life force. Rion would live, die, and be reborn endlessly, each lifetime marked by unbearable pain that would ultimately claim his life. The curse carried a single condition for release: Meika must remember the truth of that night and willingly retract it.
Rion has failed nine times.
Each reincarnation returned him to the same family, his memories intact, his power restrained, and the curse tightening its grip.
Now, in his tenth life, the seal placed upon Wasureri has begun to weaken. Though the world no longer recognises magic, Rion’s sealing power awakens once more, bringing with it pain so severe that each use edges him closer to death. If he holds back, Wasureri will regain its strength and repeat the massacre that once annihilated the Sakuramori clan.
Rion stands at a crossroads he has faced nine times before—yet never under such dire circumstances. Bound by a curse, constrained by unspoken restrictions, and racing against a fate already proven cruel, he must choose between his mother’s silence or his power.
Whether this tenth life will finally break the curse—or end like the others—remains uncertain. What is certain is that time, pain, and an ancient evil will not wait for him to choose.
