Synopsis

Kaito, a gifted and ambitious young man from the impoverished city of Luncia, faces the harsh realities of life alongside his struggling family. Despite their difficult circumstances, Kaito's exceptional intelligence leads him to secure a prestigious scholarship to Vanity Corp's elite education programme, opening the door to a new world.

As Kaito enters Vanity Corp, he is confronted with the stark contrast between his old life and the opulence of The Apex, where the corporation is headquartered. In this new environment, he grapples with the corporation's ideology and the moral dilemmas that arise from his ambition.

His talents quickly attract the attention of influential figures within Vanity Corp, including Isabella Moretti, who sees potential in him but hints at the dark side of corporate life. The allure of power and luxury tempts him, leading him to question his values and relationships with those he left behind in Luncia.
