Summary
Rin Okumura wasn’t always the Antichrist. Up until about a week ago, he’d been human—just a regular teenager living under the roof his adoptive father also happened to be a preist. Now? He’s Satan’s spawn, destined to bring about the apocalypse. It’s enough to make anyone’s head spin, but for Rin, the weight of it is unbearable. He was raised to believe in God, in salvation, in the goodness of humanity. Now all that faith feels like a cruel joke, replaced with the knowledge that he’s the enemy of everything he held sacred. The guilt gnaws at him, but there’s an itch he can’t scratch, whispering that maybe this was always who he was meant to be.
Meanwhile, Ryuuji Suguro had always known his destiny. He’s a prophet, after all, and with it comes visions. The kind of visions no kid should have. The prophecy he carries is one of doomsday, and the source of that doom is clear: a boy. Not just any boy, but the Antichrist.
The only reason Ryuuji is even at True Cross Academy is to find him. If he can find the Beast, then maybe, just maybe, he can stop the apocalypse before it starts. And he’s determined. No way is he letting the world end just because of some guy—not even if that guy happens to be Satan’s kid.
