Helix Prime: Mind Game
On the isolated island where the Helix Prime Academy rises, nothing is as it seems.
Renowned worldwide for producing leaders, geniuses, and master strategists, the school hides a place where social standing, alliances, and moral decisions matter far more than any test.
Ren Hayashi never wanted the spotlight.
With his golden eyes and a gaze as cold as a surgical blade, he prefers observing over acting - until he learns that at Helix Prime, staying silent is the same as losing.
By his side is Aria Nakamura, a girl as calm as she is enigmatic, someone who seems to see straight through the masks worn by the other students.
And lurking around them are intelligent rivals, manipulative teachers, and invisible rules shaping a game where everyone is a piece... and no one is safe.
When the class's first assignment is to reveal who you would eliminate from the group, Ren makes a choice that turns the entire room upside down - and draws the attention of people who were never supposed to notice him.
Secrets, rivalries, and intricate strategies begin to unfold as each student discovers:
At Helix Prime, the winner isn't the strongest.
It's the one no one can decipher.
