A curse follows the Founding Titan, one far more nefarious than the Curse of Ymir. For years, this curse mostly lay dormant, suppressed by the royal families ties to the original Founder, Ymir herself. Unfortunately, Eren does not have royal blood, does he. And now the entire world is at risk.

Eren has found a sense of responsibility towards others after a talk with his dad but disaster strikes. Eren ends up crushed under his own house to be eaten by a titan while Mikasa and his mom get away. He mysteriously returns, but the scars run deep for all three of them. Things aren't going to be the same now that he's back.
