Time Magazine once gave this review of a man: "Mr. Yang is a great inventor. The products he created changed how hundreds of millions live, work, and travel." "At the same time, his inventions created millions of jobs and made outstanding contributions to regional economies." ... Never would he have imagined—Yang Wendong, already a successful entrepreneur, would accidentally travel back to the 1950s. Given a second chance, he would once again rise from nothing, climb to the peak of this era, and build a century-spanning Chinese family empire.

Years later, when he would finally hold the “Lifetime Achievement Award” in his hands, Makoto would recall one very specific afternoon—the afternoon he was sent flying ten whole meters… By Kitasan Black. At the time, he had only recently gotten his Central Trainer’s license. Unfortunately, his lack of experience was obvious, and many Umamusume turned him down without a second thought. And so, after being rejected yet again, maybe his mind wandered a bit too much. While waiting to cross at a red light, he spotted a child nearly step into oncoming traffic. His body moved before his brain could catch up. The kid was fine. He was not. Because he got hit. Not by a car, but by an Umamusume. She had black hair, red eyes, and a matching black tail. And she slammed into him at full sprint. Thanks to years of quiet self-training—secretly guided by memories from a past life—he managed to twist midair and land without too much damage. Still, getting launched like that wasn’t exactly part of his daily routine. The Umamusume, on the other hand, was completely panicking. “I-I’m so sorry! Are you hurt?! A-are you okay?!” “I-I'm Kitasan Black! A first-year at Tracen Academy! Pleased to meet you—wait, no, that’s not what I should say right now!” “I—I mean—I’ll take responsibility! I’ll take full responsibility for this!!” That’s how it all began. The girl’s name was Kitasan Black. And this was the start of everything. = = = = Note: Some character backgrounds and settings have been reworked for narrative purposes. This version expands the Umamusume world while staying faithful to the spirit of the original. Non-Umamusume fan can read it as a mix of sports drama and school life.

Working at night in a Konbini is a mess: fluorescent lights that seem to convulse from boredom, drunk customers, cold coffee, and a coworker who looks like she stepped out of a poorly written doujinshi. Aoi, a brat with a dog collar and a shark smile, who should be dead but instead keeps bothering me with her stupid antics. The worst part? Between arguments about fetishes, suicidal combos, storms that feel like the end of the world, and selling junk to people who look like ghosts, I started to realize something: I hate this job, I hate my life... and I hate her, but maybe I don't hate her as much as I should.

Earth’s apocalypse has an audience. Since the world split between Day and Night, humanity has survived beneath towering pillars of holy light while Nightcrawlers claim the darkness beyond them. Fighting back means making a dangerous bargain: form a contract with a Nightcrawler, become a Daywalker, and gain the power to evolve beyond human limits. Levi Larson needs that power. His parents were murdered. His eyes were stolen. And somewhere in this broken world, the people responsible are still living comfortably. Reaching them will take more than hatred. Through the CRS Platform, Raiders, Conquerors, and Saviors wage a war broadcast across worlds, where territories are plundered, lives are gambled, and victory earns the resources to become something greater. For humanity, it is a struggle for survival. For Levi, it is also a way to turn a hopeless hunt into a very real threat. Blindness makes him easy to underestimate.

To get his vengeance and eyes back, Levi will have to outthink entities that have spent lifetimes killing, gamble against impossible odds, and discover just how far a human can evolve. His enemies have had years to enjoy what they stole. And Levi intends to collect! Discord: https://discord.gg/KSNWWshhfm
