James, the 10-year-old protagonist, comes from a magical family. His grandfather temporarily goes blind whenever sexual fantasies come into his mind, and his father reimburses all the mechanical devices around him whenever he is scared. James's own superpower is to kill all the life he comes into contact with, including cows, plants, flowers, as well as his grandparents. For this reason, James lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests until a young girl who escaped from the cancer ward found him ten years later.
