It all began with the 17 "Origins," whose powers were then passed on to individuals who still exist around the world today. A man carrying a coffin and a girl with beast-like eyes appear in a town. The girl was cursed by a witch and now searches for her to undo the curse. Could the witch who appears before them be the prey they've been searching for? And how can the curse be undone? This quest for revenge against an evil witch begins when the beast captures the witch. This magnificent and intense tale of dark fantasy begins now!
