Synopsis: Cyber academy My name is DM446. That’s not a real name—people like me don’t get those. Only the rich do, the ones living above earth in their clean metal cities. I live below, on Earth, where the air burns your lungs and the ground never stops shaking from the machines that rot beneath it. A thousand and five years ago, humans destroyed everything chasing eternal life. We wanted to live forever, but instead we made **HP50K**, the Hyper Poles 50 Kill virus. It got into the air, the water, the soil—everywhere. It wiped out half the planet and twisted what was left. Most of the people caught in it turned into *something else*—mindless cybernetic creatures that hunt anything still breathing. NASA tried to fix what was left of us. They built colonies in space for the rich and “safe zones” on Earth for the poor. But nothing’s really safe down here. Our only hope is **The Cyber Academy**, built deep underground where the virus can’t reach. Only students can enter. They say if you graduate, you earn a name and a ticket to the colonies above. You get to bring your family with you. That’s why I’m here. I just turned eighteen. My sister, **DF447**, is twelve—she’s all I’ve got left. If I make it through the Academy, she’ll have a real life. But the Academy isn’t just a school. They train us to go into the contaminated zones—to recover files and tech from before the world ended. very few comes back from those missions. If the virus doesn’t kill you, the creatures will. Still… I have to try. For her. For a future that doesn’t exist yet.

Akira and Hayato had been inseparable since first year of highschool—two idiots who laughed at the same jokes, shared the same snacks, and gamed until their eyes burned. But lately… things had changed. Ever since Hayato started dating Ayase, his time had been split like a thin sheet of paper. Akira wasn’t jealous—at least that’s what he told himself—but the silence in his room felt heavier than it used to. Then the news hit.A serial killer roaming their neighborhood.Curfews suggested. Phones buzzing with warnings But that night, Akira sat alone, controller in hand, anime running softly in the background. He wasn’t really paying attention; he was just killing time. Then he spotted movement from his window—Hayato heading home with that tired walk he always had after long dates. Akira couldn’t help but smile. Finally, a chance to talk.He rushed downstairs and caught up to him. “Dude, you should NOT be outside right now,” Hayato scolded, eyes wide. “Go home. Seriously.” But Akira shook his head with that stubborn grin. “It’s been two weeks. I’m walking with you. Halfway. You can’t stop me.” Hayato sighed in defeat, but his eyes softened. “Fine… but only halfway.” And for a while, it felt like old times. They joked. They teased. They filled the empty space that had grown between them.For those few blocks, everything was right again.But when they reached the point where they normally split paths, the night shifted. The street was too quiet. The air too heavy. The shadows too thick. “Alright… I guess this is—” Hayato began. A sound cut him off. Fast. Sharp. Wrong. Akira barely had time to turn.A glint of steel.A blur of movement.Pain that stole his breath.He collapsed first.Hayato screamed his name—but the serial killer was already on him too. Two best friends. Two final breaths. Two lights fading out in the cold dark.Yet death wasn’t the end. When Akira’s consciousness returned, he woke to unfamiliar skies… unfamiliar air… and an unfamiliar body. Long hair. A smaller frame.A girl’s voice escaping his lips. Meanwhile, Hayato awoke not too far away, still himself—but in a world filled with magic, beasts, and kingdoms straight out of the games they used to play together.Two best friends. Reborn.
