Assassins Pride

Humanity, pushed to the edge of extinction, now survives within the glass-domed city-state of Flandore. Outside the domes, lycanthropes rule the darkness, while inside, society is sharply divided between nobles and commoners. Noble blood grants access to mana—power that elevates its users beyond ordinary human limits and serves as a crucial weapon against the monsters beyond the walls.

Melida Angel, a 13-year-old noble, has yet to awaken her mana and endures scorn at her prestigious academy because of it. The Angel family assigns Kufa Vampir as her private tutor, but his appointment comes with a hidden condition: if he determines she truly lacks mana, he is to kill her. As Kufa grows moved by Melida’s resolve after seeing her fight, he abandons the order and instead helps her draw out her power—then risks everything to conceal the truth from the Angel family and his own guild, even as new complications begin to close in.
