Q-grade Specials, A-grade Specials, B-grade Specials, C-grade Specials, D-grade Specials and E-grade Specials. That's the order in which every Special in the academy had been ranked until Kastian shows up at a critical time of the school. After losing his parents in a ghastly car accident, Kastian had to move in with his Aunty who did nothing more than maltreat him and make him feel like he should have died in the accident too. However, Kastian's normal life takes an unexpected twist when he gets unreal abilities. Initially, he thinks he had gone mad but when things begin to get real, Kastian finds himself in the Academy for Specials. At first sight, the school is a perfect place for superhumans to grow their abilities away from the knowledge of ordinary humans while fighting bad guys from the shadows but the longer Kastian stays in the academy, he soon realizes that the downfall of the school had come. With the few Q-grade Specials the academy had ever known dead, the academy is nothing more than a playground for the biggest enemy to both mankind and Specials. It's almost impossible for him to control the prototype his parents left behind for him but when he finally gains control, he's merely an unstoppable force of nature. Kastian is the only hope of the school now; the only hope of the ordinary humans who had made his life a living hell. He doesn't know how long he can hold out until he loses control of his abilities again, but he knows that he's going to live up to his parents' legacy as the best Special the academy had ever known; the best Superhero the world would ever see.

He is a human. At least in looks. His behavior is eccentric at best and demonic at his worst. He was married once and supposed to have been divorced and yet his supposed ex-wife is looking for him. He has made a lot of girls fall for him. All due to different reasons. However, only a select number of people know his truth. His origin is a mystery. His parents are fake and even his name is borrowed. What does he plan to do? Is he looking for revenge or salvation or just plain peace? Only he knows.

Would you believe it if your best friend told you that he has been living in the world for four hundred years? What is the reason for this - a wonderful gift, which he acquired at a terrible price and continues to pay for it to this day? That he was familiar with Catherine de Medici, Stefan Batory, Nostradamus? That's what I didn't believe at first. But he told me such details that I could not help thinking: what if this is true?
