The story revolves around the main protagonist,Habu Mioh, a bone-idle delinquent who also happens to be the eldest son of the venerable Dragon King. Appalled by his son’s downright laziness, the Dragon King strips Habu of his ability to use his spirit energy powers by sealing them within a cross on his forehead before banishing him to the human realm where he must prove himself worthy of his bloodline. Habu’s father isn’t a complete tyrant though, and since he wants to see his son return to the Dragon Folk realm as a worthy heir to the throne, he allows Habu to keep his superior physical strength. Stranded in the human realm, Habu’s only chance of getting back to his own realm is by absorbing a large number of souls belonging to people who possess spirit energy.
