Ren doesn't sleep much. Nightmares drag him back to a world he can't forget. At Seiryo University, he passes as just another student, until his classmates turn violent and the infected flood the streets. With civilization collapsing around him, the people he has left need him to become something he never believed he could be. But that means exposing what he truly is, and a past that refuses to stay dead. WHAT TO LOOK FORWARD TO: Reverse-Isekai. Drama. A character-focused, anime-flavored drama about trauma, guilt, and the cost of living. Slow-burn tension, a Reverse-Isekai MC, and a supernatural undercurrent. Graphic violence, emotionally heavy themes. A COMPLETE, SELF-CONTAINED STORY. Updating Mon, Wed, Fri.
