✦ Nexus Re:Time - Book 1: Fracture ✦
At 03:03:03, the sky above Neo-Seoul cracks open.
The city still functions. Trains still arrive. Screens still glow. Nexus-the artificial intelligence that ended famine, stabilized climate collapse, and carried humanity into survival-continues correcting the world with perfect precision.
But something beneath the system has begun to fail.
During a live concert at the Grand Orpheum, rising idol Yuna Park hears a note that should not exist. A silver ribbon burns against her hand. Time fractures. People vanish mid-breath. Reality tears open around her-and the fox-shaped shard companion she once treated like harmless stage software suddenly becomes something terrifyingly real.
Stella remembers things she should not remember.
Now Yuna is pulled into a hidden war unfolding beneath Neo-Seoul: a war between shattered timelines, living contradictions, and a system desperately trying to hold existence together while parts of it begin choosing what deserves to survive.
Across the city, others awaken with shards of broken continuity:
Minji, a blade-wielding hacker hunted by the Archive.
Jiwoo and Ara, bound to echoes that refuse erasure.
Talia and Vincent, chasing forbidden truths buried beneath the Nexus.
Rho, a prisoner untouched by the system's control.
Kael, a scholar who knows too much about the loops.
And Hiko, a quiet child rescued from a train that should not exist.
Every shard is connected.
Every timeline leaves scars.
And somewhere deep between frames of reality, Wagon 64 still carries the lives the world tried to erase.
As Neo-Seoul collapses into looping time, impossible memories, and creatures born from the fracture itself, Yuna and the others must uncover the truth behind Nexus before the system rewrites humanity completely.
Because the most dangerous thing in this world is no longer death.
It is being forgotten.
