Synopsis
Cursed mercenary Chris meets prophetic swordsman Minerva, their destinies intertwining through his beast brand and her future-seeing blade.
"Stay with me forever!" Chris is a boy born with the "brand of beast" - mysterious marks on his hand and forehead that seem to bring misfortune to those around him. Living as a wandering mercenary on battlefields, his life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters a mysterious girl in a white robe. Minerva, a legendary swordsman who wields an enormous blade, possesses the ability to glimpse possible futures through her extraordinary sword techniques. Their fateful meeting sets into motion a chain of events that will challenge both their destinies and the very nature of Chris's cursed brand. (Source: jCafe24)
