Born into the notorious Shadashi assassin clan, Shineka Alkaleke refuses to become another weapon in his family’s blood-drenched legacy. When he flees their toxic customs to join his renowned scientist father abroad, he leaves behind his mother and twin sister. But peace is an illusion on an Earth where nearly everyone possesses the meta-gene. Shineka carries the Vermillion, a terrifying genetic cheat that drains the life force of others to boost his strength and speed. Refusing to become a monster, he forces himself to use only his own vital energy, pushing his body to breaking points. When his father’s research reveals a global conspiracy, Shineka is dragged back into the shadows. He must fight his family and his own dark potential to survive, but ignoring his genetic hunger might just get him killed.
