The Beast | Fuck 19 - Glory Quest -mad-32-

Set in a fictional yet recognizable feudal-esque realm known as Yamato-Metropolis—a hybrid landscape of neon-lit cityscapes and ancient forests—The Beast Glory Quest follows Kaito Soma, a disgraced ronin (masterless samurai) who carries a hereditary curse: the “Mamono Blood.â€‌ This curse allows him to transform into one of twelve legendary “Beast Knights,â€‌ but at the cost of slowly eroding his human empathy. The “Glory Questâ€‌ of the title refers to a ritualistic tournament held once every century, in which twelve chosen warriors must complete three trials: the Trial of Instinct (survival in a cursed wilderness), the Trial of Memory (confronting ancestral trauma), and the Trial of Sacrifice (choosing between personal glory and communal salvation). Kaito’s goal is not merely victory but to break the curse forever—a goal that pits him against rival Beast Knights, corrupt feudal lords, and his own internal darkness.
