SILENT VEIL – Arc 1 & Arc 2 Story Preview
Arc 1 – The Boy No One Chose
Long before the world knew his name, Kaito was simply a boy running from a past he could no longer remember.
After escaping his former life, he arrives in a quiet village hoping to start over. Instead, he finds rejection. The villagers see him as strange, someone who doesn't belong. Only two people treat him differently: Aiko, a cheerful girl who believes everyone deserves a chance, and Ren, a selfish, arrogant boy who often mocks Kaito but can't ignore his determination.
For a short time, the three spend their days together, but happiness never lasts. Aiko suddenly leaves the village to become an ExoKnight, hiding her true reason from everyone.
Left alone once again, Kaito becomes obsessed with one question:
"How can someone with no talent survive in a world ruled by monsters?"
Believing nobody will save him, he secretly studies ancient records and dangerous research before creating an experimental drug meant to awaken hidden human potential. With no one willing to test it, he injects himself.
Nothing happens.
Days pass. The experiment appears to have failed.
Then, one night, a powerful spirit attacks the village.
Kaito throws himself into the battle to protect the people who never accepted him.
He dies.
Instead of darkness, he awakens inside an endless realm filled with colors no human should be able to see. Strange voices whisper around him before everything fades away.
His eyes open.
The spirit standing over his body suddenly realizes the boy it killed is standing again.
Without understanding what has happened, Kaito unleashes a mysterious power and defeats the spirit before collapsing.
The battle is witnessed by the Captain of Faction 7, who realizes this boy may become something the world has never seen before.
Arc 2 – The Boy Who Had Nothing
Kaito awakens inside Faction 7 headquarters, where he discovers that humanity has secretly been fighting spirits for generations.
The world's defenders are known as ExoKnights, warriors who use spiritual energy and ancient techniques to hunt creatures invisible to ordinary people.
Ren is also brought to the headquarters after surviving the village incident. Though the two still argue constantly, they are given the same opportunity—to become ExoKnights.
As training begins, Kaito learns about the eight Korean factions, powerful captains, and elite organizations across the world. It feels as though he has stepped into a completely different reality.
To remain at Faction 7, both boys must survive the deadly Encounter Dome examination.
There is only one problem.
The mysterious power Kaito used against the spirit is gone.
No matter how hard he tries, nothing happens.
While others begin calling him useless and questioning why the captain chose him, Ren refuses to abandon him.
Forced to fight without power, Kaito survives through intelligence, careful planning, and sheer determination.
During the final stage of the examination, a desperate moment briefly awakens a fraction of his mysterious power. It isn't enough to overwhelm his enemies, but it is enough to help him and Ren barely survive.
The arc ends with the arrival of a respected senior ExoKnight, signaling the beginning of Kaito's true journey.
Yet unknown to everyone, the multicolored realm still watches him... and whatever brought him back to life has only just begun.
