Forged from Their Blood, I Am Their Reckoning
Everyone calls Yann a reject who'll never awaken a soulblood. They're wrong. Humanity is losing the war against werewolves, vampires, and titans, and other races have hunted Yann in his dreams for years. When his father is sent to the Battlefield of the Gods for saving civilians, Yann vows to get strong enough to find him. Then he awakens the Codex of All Races: devour a race's blood, take its talents, fuse them into a power no one has seen. Tier by tier, he rises to become the Worldmaker.
Story Guide
Episode 1
Yann has dreamed the same death for ten years: a werewolf tearing him apart, night after night. He's a commoner with no soulblood, and everyone around him treats the Battle Academy as a door that was never meant to open for people like him. But the Academy is his only road to the Battlefield of the Gods, where his father was sent after opening the gates to save civilians.
Then Marcus, a noble dripping in high-grade soul blood, decides to remind Yann exactly where he belongs. He mocks Yann's father as a criminal and waves a bottle of werewolf soul blood worth more than a family's whole life. The crowd folds instantly. Yann doesn't.

Episode 2
The trial turns real fast. A werewolf gets loose among the applicants, and the clearing erupts into panic. People shove each other toward the beast just to buy a few steps of distance. Yann's friend Oliver is in the path of it, and Yann does what he can to pull him clear.
Then the werewolf comes for Yann, and something cold clicks into place. The way it moves—the angle, the timing, the swing—is the exact sequence that has killed him in his sleep for a decade. He's seen this monster before. He knows what it does next. And this time, he isn't running.

Episode 3
Yann calls the werewolf's move before it lands, dodging the strike he's watched kill him a thousand times. The Academy officials step in—the whole thing was a test of courage, they explain. But the claws were real, and so was the fear. Some applicants froze, some ran, and some pushed others into the beast's path.
Yann, a commoner with no soulblood, could have run too. Instead he turned to face it. For that, he's awarded a single drop of soul blood—something this precious should go to the bravest among us. Marcus seethes. The entrance selection is tomorrow, and Yann still has one brutal step left.
Episode 4
That night, Yann's dreams change. Instead of the werewolf, he sees his father—the argument over the disobeyed order, the quiet pride in saving lives, the regret at not watching his son grow up. His father tells him a soldier who disobeys orders must be punished, but he'd save those people again. Yann makes the promise out loud: he'll find him at the Battlefield of the Gods.
He wakes shaken, refusing to believe his father is dead. Whatever that light was, it wasn't just a dream. Something in him has shifted, and he can feel it—a door cracking open that no one, least of all Marcus, is ready for.
Episode 5
The morning after the attack, a young girl named Anna brings Yann her doll so he won't be scared alone at night. It's a small kindness before a very big fight.
At the selection, Marcus struts in demanding to know where Yann is, calling him a coward. Oliver fires back—reminding the crowd that Marcus shoved his own friend into the werewolf's path and then ran. When Marcus turns on Oliver, Yann steps in. Marcus's soul blood is high grade; Yann has nothing but nerve. The onlookers assume he's walking to his death. Yann steps up anyway.
Episode 6
The fight nobody expected goes the wrong way for Marcus. Yann, the book-hauling commoner, holds his ground and then some, and the crowd can't believe what they're seeing. Humiliated, Marcus burns his own bloodline to force a blood demon form—paying with his lifespan just to crush a lowborn.
Yann doesn't flinch. He makes Marcus look at the gap between nobles and commoners he's always bragged about. Before it can finish, a new figure steps in: Malcolm, the Academy's vice dean—and Marcus's uncle. In the middle of an exam, he revokes Yann's eligibility on the spot.
Episode 7
Malcolm's ruling lands like a wall: Yann's Battle Academy eligibility is permanently revoked. Yann sees it clearly now—he was never meant to win. He's dragged off to sweep the sealed dungeons and left to rot, and the reason is simple: he's a commoner, and nobles are right from birth.
But Malcolm has bigger plans. He intends to unleash monsters on a village, drown it in blood to pull the city guard away, and slaughter the Academy's prodigies while the city is undefended. Meanwhile, Anna's family says they look out for Yann—and Anna saves her doll for him.
Episode 8
Locked in the dungeons, Yann finds a small trinket and thinks of Anna—he'll give it to her when he gets out. Then the Academy's guards are pulled away: a village is under attack, and orders are orders. No one is left behind to guard the students.
Yann realizes the truth—the village being hit is his own. Malcolm is breaking the seals to let the beasts run wild, thinning the guards so he can pick off the Academy's best one by one. Yann refuses to sit still while monsters march on the people he loves.
Episode 9
Malcolm's secret is out, and he turns on the students who discovered it. Then Yann arrives—flying. A Griffin's power, out of nowhere, and even Malcolm is rattled.
Malcolm taunts him with the truth: he chose Yann's village on purpose, and he mocks the little girl who believed Yann would come save her. Something inside Yann snaps, two beasts warring for control of his body. But he isn't done. His father is still waiting at the front lines, and Oliver still needs him. Yann refuses to die here—and refuses to let the monsters win.
If you've been waiting for an underdog who actually bites back, start this one tonight and see how far Yann climbs.
