Plot
Plot
A race called "Succubi" reproduces by using humans as fertile hosts, while humans, in turn, seek to eradicate them. After a long time, as these two incompatible races begin to clash, a "King" is born—destined to bring the war to an end. The protagonist, Nito, has lived in a detention facility since childhood and is considered a failure among his peers because he cannot achieve good results in the tests. In reality, this facility is an institution used by the succubi to feed on humans and to turn those who "leave the structure" into fertile hosts for them. All of Nito's friends are used for this purpose, and when he discovers the truth, he is attacked by a succubus and mortally wounded. However, he manages to gather his remaining strength, enters an egg that has grown behind the facility, and absorbs all its power—awakening as a being that is neither human nor succubus. Having narrowly escaped death, he manages to flee into the outside world with the help of a mysterious woman named Hiiro, who had been hiding within the facility. In that new world, he gradually begins to claim the "normal life" he was never able to live before.
