    Summary

    The beast that haunted Katsuki’s childhood may be buried under the ashes of Kamino Ward, but its presence lingers, woven into his very being. As he claws his way to the top, Katsuki finds himself tangled in the brutal reality of the hero business—a world ruled by power, money, and influence. And as old wounds resurface, they threaten to pull him under.

    With Aizawa and Hizashi offering the stability of a real home, Katsuki glimpses a world built on trust instead of fear. In the quiet moments between battles, the steady presence of Kirishima becomes an unexpected comfort. Yet as his relentless will drives him forward, his pride could become his greatest obstacle, standing between him and the connection he craves.

    Will Katsuki reach the top without losing himself—or those closest to him?
