Julian has lived a life defined by agony, sold into chains by the very woman who gave him birth. But in the dark, suffocating hold of a slave ship, a single moment of genuine kindness shifts the trajectory of his soul forever. When a dormant, ancient god witnesses his suffering, it offers a pact soaked in blood: Julian will receive terrifying, god-like power, but every surge of strength demands the life of an innocent in return. Now, he must walk a razor-thin path, wielding forbidden might to shield a helpless infant from a world that wants to tear them both apart. It is a brutal, heart-wrenching, and adrenaline-fueled journey where the cost of protection is nothing less than his own humanity. The original Japanese title is センチュリア, romanized as Senchuria, and it is officially known to fans worldwide as Centuria. Witness a dark fantasy epic where every victory feels like a tragedy and survival is the ultimate gamble.
