"This world, it's spinning just for me..."
Caught in a mind-numbingly dull and dark existence, Mitsuba, a girl slated for an untimely end, stirred from a prolonged slumber with an enigmatic sense of omnipotence. The magic infused into her for a decade unleashed a power of "curse" that shouldn't exist in this realm.
Terrified by Mitsuba, cloaked in the aura of "death," her stepmother stripped away her noble status, compelling her entry into a military academy. Little did they know, this was merely the opening act for Mitsuba to wield the "curse" and carve her own path.
