Claide is a Bloodbound Judge, a creature born of evil, a being brought back to life with a single purpose: to hunt, to track down, to kill. Claide knows this well: human beings are nothing more than presumptuous and arrogant creatures. They believe they can deceive the Lords of deception and suffering: the Demons. They trade their souls in exchange for mere and futile fortunes and then take refuge within the walls of some sanctuary, seeking the protection offered by Sacred Magic. However, Demons are not easy to deceive, and when one of these Damned makes a last desperate attempt to secure salvation, they send him. Their immortal servant, their favorite weapon, their half-blood assassin. For centuries, Claide has borne the weight of his task, for centuries he has served his sentence as an obedient and faithful servant, but an unprecedented event will lead him to reevaluate his methods, showing him a side of his existence long buried and forgotten, attracting the attention of an ancient and dark King who has lulled himself into complacency for too long. When all the deceptions are revealed, when all the oaths are broken, then the pawn will recognize his strength, and all the pieces will tremble before him.
