In a world where all that mattered was color, the more color a person had, the higher their rank in society.
And in this world, you had the misfortune of being born colorless, a person who was completely white from birth.
The colorless ones faced a lot of discrimination and were at the bottom of the hierarchy in the city of colors. You worked mining colors and, One day, you had an accident and ended up being thrown into a pit of black ink.
By some miracle, or fate, you survived and absorbed the black color from the well, becoming the first user of the color black, a color that had only been observed before in monsters.
Varlen was the only son of the Red family, a prodigy and user of the pure red color. He was on a mission, investigating the appearance of a possible black creature in the city.
