Shuji Yamagami!!

Tokyo!

In a garbage dump,

a boy with a crippled right leg and a stench clinging to his whole body lay curled up inside an illegally built wooden shack.

The boards were cold, and the surrounding garbage reeked. Endless darkness and lifelessness filled the boy's eyes.

He should have been a rising star among this generation's Novice Lords. He had awakened a Saint Realm unit: Shadow Warriors!!

Ordinarily, he would have been living in a luxurious campus dormitory in the Island Country.

Instead, he was curled up here like a dog, waiting for death.

It had all begun with Shuji Yamagami's girlfriend.

Or perhaps it had been a trap from the start.

The moment Shuji Yamagami awakened a Saint Realm Barracks, a powerful Family set its sights on him. His girlfriend, it turned out, had been carefully groomed by that Family.

Before she approached him, the Family had investigated every one of his preferences. They had made her into his perfect dream girl.

She matched everything Shuji Yamagami could have wanted.

And just as Shuji Yamagami was looking forward to a beautiful future,

disaster struck.

The moment he told his girlfriend the coordinates of his territory,

there was no taking it back.

He had survived, but they had broken one of his legs. The Family that wanted his Barracks had kept him alive only to humiliate him further.

They had even staged a cuckolding scene with his girlfriend, right in front of him, in his own territory.

What broke him even more was this:

His parents were dead. Their deaths went unexplained, and the investigation was hastily closed. His older sister and younger sister had vanished too.

He had become a cripple, a helpless wreck with no power to fight back. All he could do was curl up here and
