Itsuki was wronged. He was framed for this mom's murder, even though it was his own father who killed her. He spent three years in the Kai prison-camp, working at the mana-gem mines for a king that wasn't his own. This world is messed up. And he was gonna be the one to change it. He was gonna escape this prison, find all the Fragments, and become the strongest mana-manipulator there was in the whole of Dansamia, and then he'd show them. He'd be the cannibal who topples down the regime. And bring a new world order for both sapiens and cannibals to co-exist. As humans. This is not gonna be yet another kill-the-autocratic-king-and-save-the-day kinda story. It's the story of the Great Myth. It's the story of a hero of such valor that his epics would never go questioned. It's the story of right versus the wrong, where the lines blur.
