To them, someone like Ash doesn't belong. But Ash has never been one to give up. Sometimes, the only way to change the rules is to break the system.

NEXUS: REQUIEM He died saving a stranger. He was given a second chance. He never expected that chance to become a curse. Riku had spent his first life trying to become someone his family could be proud of. The son of an affluent teacher, he was expected to excel-to be exceptional.

As his grades fell and his family slowly pushed him away, Riku found himself isolated, exhausted, and wondering if there was any point in continuing. Until one day, everything changed. Seeing a little girl about to be struck by a speeding truck, Riku made a choice without hesitation. He pushed her out of the way. And died. Yet death was not the end.

And somewhere beyond the boundaries of this world, a fate is already being written in his name. Chains will bind him. Monsters will devour him. Death will follow him.
