His name is KAY. Since birth, he has been despised by the public, neglected by his parents, but a very, very rich kid. He's got all that money, but what he lacks and is still finding is love. And that's when JANEL came into the picture...
-----------------------------------------------
Her name is JANEL. Since young, she has known that she will never be able to be as privileged as the other people, the public. The most she has is a stuffed bear from the shop down that street. She's got all the physical strength from "bloodshed", a place where beggars come in for fights. they earn money from killing the opponent. those bloodthirsty rich people would then watch the fight go on. Also, you have to fight well, if not they would kill you. She's got all that physical strength, but what she still lacks and is also finding is love, and freedom. it was only when KAY came into the picture when everything changed...

Kael Morrigan is nineteen years old and already broken.
In a world where Gates tore apart reality and flooded seventy percent of Earth with monsters, there are no countries left-only Sectors. Walled fortresses where humanity's remnants huddle behind concrete and pray the next Gate doesn't rupture before the Hunters clear it. Seventy-two hours. That's all the time between survival and annihilation.
Kael isn't a Hunter. He's a porter-the lowest, most expendable piece of the industry that keeps humanity alive.
Every morning, Gate sirens wail. Every day, the countdown begins again. Every night, Kael comes home with contaminated lungs, bleeding hands, and barely enough to buy protein paste and recycled water.
The Hunters call him deadweight. The corporations see him as replaceable. His neighbors avoid his eyes because they know he's just another corpse waiting for a Gate to claim him.
But Kael gets up anyway. Binds his ruined feet. Shoulders his pack. Walks into the monsters' den. Not for glory or hope-those luxuries died with the old world.
He does it because two girls in a freezing room need him to come home alive.
In a world drowning in nightmares, survival isn't heroic. It's just refusing to quit when quitting would be easier than breathing.
This is the story of how far one man will break before he's finally free.
