𝐘𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐌𝐢𝐮𝐫𝐚 had a dream of becoming a ballerina ever since she was a child. She was at a big audition that could determine her ballet future and career when a meteor hit and took her to the borderlands. She made it out alive and years later she still gets flashbacks. The one thing about the borderlands that she remembers was making a promise. A promise with 𝐍𝐨𝐛𝐮𝐚𝐤𝐢 𝐇𝐢𝐝𝐚. They had met while playing deathly games and instantly bonded a bit too much. Years later they still think of each other and eventually join the borderlands again to find eachother. With no memory of each other's name or face they let destiny bring them back together. How will this end?..

𝐊𝐢𝐫𝐚 𝐘𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐨 - a girl who was born into a family where perfectionism was on the first line. Every member of her family was intelligent, well educated, and perfectly dressed. Except her. Kira grew up differently. She could even call herself 'inhumane' since the only things she noticed in her were imperfections. And she was taught that humans should be perfect to stay humane. But 'To live with flaws is to die perfect' - her mother once said. The only phrase she could remember with her mother's voice. And after her death everything has changed. Her father became alcoholic and drugs addicted, which made it impossible to live with him. Plus her sister was adding the salt to the wound. She would just laugh and make fun of Kira, as she couldn't cry. This way, Kira started gaming to forget what reality was actually like. To feel like the time was running faster. And to avoid the thoughts that made her overthink or overfeel. 𝐑𝐲𝐨𝐡𝐞𝐢 𝐀𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐮 - a boy who was really into gaming from a young age. He was playing because he felt that robots could understand him better than any human would. Especially when favouritism existed. His brother was the dream child. So their father would always choose him over Arisu any time. He was comparing the two brothers to the point where Arisu just accepted that he will never be an equal to his brother, and just started to not care about what they said. The games were the only things that he was better at than his brother. But the only people he would trust, listen and care about were his two best friends. They were Arisu's only reason he enjoyed the life besides games. And what could possibly happen if he loses those reasons? 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬, a world where you can choose between life and death, a place where every decision matters, and where you can meet from the sanest people the craziest ones, and even the faces of the people y

Before she lost any chances to continue her studies due to deliberate overdosing patients with sedatives to put them into a permanent coma, while her student internships. The reason behind her actions stayed unknown. Because nobody knew what was happening in her mind, no one truly wanted. Who even wanted to know what's going on in this insane mind. The reason she didn't end up in prison was because she blamed the nurse helping her, for her crime-with success. Her effective manipulation tricks inspired her to become a journalist, which she currently is. Mirim writes about tuned events, or fake ones, just to make some sensation in Tokyo. Her own newspaper became one of the best-selling in Japan, pushing the scandal of the past into the background. One of the victims of her articles was 𝓡𝐘𝐔𝐉𝐈 𝓜𝐀𝐓𝐒𝐔𝐘𝐀𝐌𝐀, a university professor, whose incident of 'killing a student' Mirim wrote about in her newspaper. She targeted a situation where, at the request of one of the students, he gave her a drug to induce a near-death experience. On a daily basis, he is a calm man. However, the awareness of living with a ruined career can lead to madness. A morbid fascination with the afterlife and a desire for revenge on the one who brought him to this hopeless rabbit hole. 𝕺ne time, they end up together in the Borderlands, where they have a sharp eye on each other; a world that has always fascinated Ryuji, and into which Mirim has pushed other people. Garden of Eden and Hell at once. cover by @naomiwriites
