Roads to infinity: The Scholar and The Scythe

Five years after the Great Disaster took his family—or so he was told—a young orphan spends his days in the humble Saint Will Orphanage.

​As the lone survivor of the tragedy, Naoto alienates the other children and deeply unnerves most adults with his eerie brilliance. But he isn't entirely alone. Hidden in the shadows beside him is Bete—a mysterious, sentient pink sphere that acts as his protector, his friend, and if necessary, a razor-sharp scythe that doesn't hesitate to take a life for him. He also has Kate, a loving mother figure who gives him the safety and affection only a mother can provide.

​But when powerful factions, hidden organizations, and deadly agents rediscover his existence, the quiet life of the orphanage can no longer remain. Naoto is forced onto a path of survival, facing a journey he never asked for, while Bete continues to reap anyone who stands in their way.

​In the dangerous world of infinity, a genius scholar and a loyal weapon will rewrite the laws of power.
