✍️ From the Author

"He didn't want to stand out. But the world made sure he would."

Kazuo isn't your typical shonen hero.

He doesn't wear flashy armor or carry a comically large sword. He has no glowing symbols, no supernatural hairstyle, and no outfit screaming "chosen one."

And that's exactly the point.

His design is deliberately simple — because Kazuo, at his core, doesn't want to be a symbol.

He just wants to live.

Quietly.

Safely.

Freely.

I chose not to make him look like a hero — because in his world, being noticed can be deadly.

He wears a plain coat, carries a regular sword, and keeps a pouch of cat treats at his side. Not because it's cool, but because that's who he is: grounded, ordinary, human.

But of course, he can't escape attention.

Not with one black eye — the mark of the oppressed — and one green eye… the mark of the nobles.

Kazuo's existence alone challenges everything his world believes in.

That's the irony behind his simple design: He doesn't want to stand out — but the system won't let him blend in.

Even when he tries to be no one… the world sees him as a threat.

I didn't want another over-designed, over-destined protagonist.

I wanted someone who looks like he doesn't belong in a fight — because he never asked for one.

And yet, he's forced into it. Not because he's a hero… but because he can't ignore injustice any longer.

That, to me, is far more powerful than any glowing tattoo.
