In the shadows of Hakaba City, a secret war is already underway.Hidden from ordinary eyes, it leaves only impossible vandalism, strange disappearances, and bodies that never quite make sense. Granted power by an unknown higher entity, certain women awaken as one of two kinds of warriors:The Blessed ones, whose abilities are shaped by dreams and hope. And the Cursed Ones, whose abilities are forged from nightmares and despair. On the most fateful day of her life, one girl is about to step into that war.Miyu had a dream, and everything goes wrong. Death does not free her. The clock rewinds, and the same tragedy plays out again. And again. And again. Every failure, every loss, every nightmare is repeated without mercy. Now she carries a power she never asked for and an endless string of second chances.Her enemies are far stronger. She is an ant beneath their feet. She can remain trapped in this endless hell…or she can try to turn the spiral of nightmares into something closer to a dream.
