Susu Mamire no Eiyuu: Yami no Itan Skill de Sekai wo Sukuu, Hero Covered: Saving the World With Dark Hereditary Skills, 煤まみれの英雄～闇の異端スキルで世界を救う～

A strange rupture tears across the sky, unleashing sinister forces that twist living beings into monstrous threats. To fight back, humanity relies on chosen warriors known as Slayers, each empowered by mystical orbs tied to recognized attributes. Arata, an eleven-year-old boy, receives an orb unlike any other: a jet-black Soot Orb that belongs to none of the accepted powers. Labeled abnormal and treated as an outsider, he is pushed to the edge of a world that values only familiar strength. Yet the power others dismiss begins to reveal an unusual depth. As Arata learns to control soot through dark, heretical skills, he steps onto a path that could change how everyone understands heroism. In a world drowning in fear, the boy covered in soot may become its most unexpected savior.

A rejected young Slayer receives a mysterious Soot Orb and turns an unwanted, dark power into his only weapon against the monsters threatening humanity.
