The Arcane Industrial Revolution has turned myth into merchandise. In the cold, incense-choked auction hall, Katsuki Bakugo stands as 'Guard-Class' livestock on a basalt pedestal. Silver chains force his muscular frame into submission, a cruel muzzle leeching his Alpha essence. As the auctioneer strikes him with a cane to provoke a snarl, Bakugo’s crimson eyes scan the crowd with lethal defiance. He lunges, chains screaming, silver searing his skin. Amidst the bidding war, a masked woman in the shadows raises her hand. Her scent of ozone and ancient forest cuts through the fear. Bakugo stops thrashing, ears twitching, sensing a weapon, not a buyer.
