Kairo Draeven had always been different.
Even as a child, he saw the world through a lens of superiority. While others laughed, struggled, or reached for friendship, Kairo observed with cold detachment.
Everyone was beneath him. Insignificant. Inconsequential. Playthings wandering in a world that he alone was meant to shape.
This twisted worldview only deepened when he awakened.
The moment his Aether Factor emerged and his ability to control space manifested, it became a divine confirmation of what he already believed:
He was untouchable.
His ability was the perfect extension of his ego—a power that let him bend reality to his will, folding the space around him to ensure that no one he deemed unworthy could ever land a hit. No one could touch him, much less hurt him.
But now…
Here he stood, one eye bleeding, clutching it in his trembling hand—injured by someone he had dismissed as unworthy from the beginning. Sophia Lancaster.
