When the world ended, it didn't start with a bang. It started with silence.
Sixteen-year-old Rai Asano is just a normal high school student-sarcastic, bored, and coasting through life in a city that feels more like a holding cell than a home. But when military trucks block the streets, hazmat-suited men haunt the corners, and the sky fills with unmarked jets, Rai knows something is wrong. Everyone else pretends not to see it. He can't look away.
Over the span of four days, society begins to unravel. Communications fail. People vanish. And then the sirens wail.
A virus unlike anything humanity has faced is loose-one that doesn't just kill, but transforms. From the shadows rise horrifying, unnatural creatures born from infection, memory, and pain.
Alone, grieving, and hunted in a dying city, Rai is thrust into a nightmare where survival means facing monsters-both outside and within. But in the ruins of the old world, something ancient stirs. Something that calls his name.
And he might not be as normal as he thought.
