Masaru Ryunosuke is an outcast—a scholarship student in a school of elites, struggling to keep his head down in a world that looks down on him. But when a chance encounter with a vampire attack leaves him at death’s door, he wakes up to a new reality—he's no longer human.

Now a ghoul, the lowest rank of undead, Masaru finds himself thrown into a world of ancient bloodlines, deadly supernatural creatures, and secret organizations hunting beings like him. His only guide? Akane Mikazuki, the cold and ruthless noble vampire who saved him, but only for her own mysterious reasons.

Armed with the Cape of Dracula, an artifact of legendary power, and an unnatural potential that defies vampire logic, Masaru refuses to accept his fate as a weakling. If the world wants to treat him like a mere undead—then he’ll rise above them all and prove them wrong.

As battles erupt between vampires, werewolves, assassins, and monstrous beings, Masaru must claw his way up the supernatural hierarchy before he’s devoured by forces beyond his comprehension. Because in this world, the weak exist only to be devoured.

But what happens… when an undead refuses to stay at the bottom?

 The great oak doors loomed before the trio like the gates of an ancient fortress, their surfaces carved with intricate sigils that pulsed faintly with an otherworldly light. Kenji Tsukigami, their reluctant guide, paused before them, his usual brash demeanor tempered by a flicker of unease. His eyes darted to the people he led—Vaelion, Masaru, and Shougo—each standing rigid under the weight of anticipation. "I'll have you know," Kenji began, his voice low but edged with a warning, "my father is… a bit much. If you behave yourselves, you might just survive meeting him. Especially you, Vaelion." He jabbed a finger at the half-dragon, whose golden eyes narrowed in defiance.
