“If this world is bound by the wrong fate, then the only way forward is to rewrite it.” Ron Astrea never wanted an extraordinary life. At sixteen, all he wanted was to live quietly—away from attention, trouble, and anything that could make his life more complicated than it needed to be. Until a mysterious countdown appears before him. No one else can see it. No one knows where it came from. And when the countdown reaches zero, the sky above Tokyo cracks open. Terrifying creatures descend from beyond the fractures, turning what should have been the beginning of a new year into the beginning of a catastrophe humanity never saw coming. But the disaster isn't the only thing waiting for Ron. As chaos spreads, something inside him awakens. Memories of thousands of different versions of himself begin returning, one after another. Lives he never lived. Worlds he never knew. And deaths that seem to await him at the end of every path. In every world, Ron lived a different life. But they all shared one thing. Their worlds always ended. When a mysterious system calls him by a single name—Vector—Ron begins to realize that what is happening isn't a coincidence. He's seen this destruction before. He's lived through it. Again and again. And for the first time, a new possibility appears before him—a chance to break the cycle that has always ended in death and destruction. But the deeper Ron digs into the truth of who he is, the more he discovers that his existence is connected to something far greater than a single world. A fate that has repeated itself thousands of times. A power slowly awakening within him. And a mystery surrounding why Ron Astrea was never supposed to exist. If this world is heading toward the same ending once again, Ron must find the answer before it's too late. Because perhaps the only way to save the world isn't to change fate— but to rewrite the entire story.
