There's nothing. There's no one. There's a boy...
 
Teppei was just a normal, good-hearted kid who loved and idolized his father, a policeman, and aspired to become like him. He had friends at school, even a girl he liked. However, all this was thrown away on the day the world changed forever.
 
On that day, several people, mostly criminals and scum, inexpicably transformed in monsters; demons, and proceeded to lay waste to human civilization. Entire towns were razed to the ground, incountable innocent lives lost. Unable to find his father or his friends, Teppei almost falls do desperation when he discovers that he's also one of the newly-awakened demons. But in his darkest hour, the sight of his friends' plight of hope make him remember who he is, and what he strives for.
 
Teppei will not become a monster, nor a demon. He won't prey on the weak. He will instead prey on the other monsters, and protect the weak and innocent from them. He will become a knight that will protect everyone!

The first entry in 2012's Golden Future Cup competition. 
Six years ago, the phenomenon known as "Goblin Night" gave 1 out of every 100 people the ability to transform into a monster, which came to be called a "goblin". As neither the government nor the police could oppose or keep up with them, 
some goblins committed evil acts with their power and caused society to crumble. In present-day Japan, Mamoru and Yuki, who possess the "goblin" ability, strive to protect their town - though the events that took place on Goblin Night, which resulted in the death of his brother, left Mamoru disinclined to trust or care about other people. And things only get worse when his brother's killer comes to town...
