Ashes of the Null

Seventeen years ago, a classified experiment called **Project Null** was shut down — or so the Sovereign Veil claimed. The truth, buried in redacted files and mass graves: one subject survived. Raised in secret by a dissident scientist in the ruins of Osaka's lower ward, **Kairo Seto** has lived a precise, careful life — don't stand out, don't use it, don't let them see. He knows what he carries inside his chest. He also knows what happens to people like him. When a Veil strike team levels his home on a Tuesday evening, Kairo's control shatters along with everything else he loved. What rises from those ashes isn't a hero. It's something older and angrier — a Null Core fully awakened for the first time in seventeen years. Now hunted by the government that created him, reluctantly recruited by the rebel Ashborn who want to weaponize him, and slowly unraveling the truth of his own origin, Kairo must answer the question no one has survived long enough to ask: **If you were built to end the world, can you choose not to?**
