Synopsis
Kai, a demon prince, wakes from imprisonment at the bottom of a water-filled tower, stripped of his power and with no memory of how he got there. As he fights to regain his strength and uncover who betrayed him, the story alternates with his past — revealing how a young demon navigating a hostile world became a king.
