Battle Bound Zero

The world I live in isn’t normal. It’s strange—abnormal, even bizarre. A place where the supernatural overlaps with the high-tech, where society has long since gotten used to anomalies, variants, and metahumans. Me? I just wanted a normal life. That was before I found the book. The second I touched it, everything around me froze. My mind… exploded. A million thoughts, ideas, and voices all at once—I thought I was going to break. When I finally managed to calm down, I noticed something even crazier: windows floating in the air, like little video screens. Each one showed a different path—possibilities, probabilities, futures. I don’t know why, but I picked one. In it, a senior of mine asked me to join his club, and I said yes. Then—just like that—time started moving again. No fanfare, no big reset, just… normal. And all those thoughts I’d had? Gone. Like they’d been erased. Honestly, I couldn’t even remember what I was doing before I touched the book. But the choice I made? That stuck. After one of my lectures, he walked up to me. “Hey, wanna join the Shutter Detective Agency?” “…What, like a club?” “Yeah. The Shutter Detective Agency Club.” “…Sure, I guess.” “Perfect. Sign here.” As I scribbled my name down, a weird chill ran through me. I couldn’t shake the feeling that everything had already been decided. —————— [Updated Synopsis] [AUGHH] [Will update the mock cover sooner or later, it's not half-bad? I edited it with AI] [Any criticisms or comments in general I welcome, please I need them] [Reading what I wrote from chapter 1 to chapter 5—it feels like more romance and slice of life with a subgenre of sci-fi; I hope I won't get sidetracked, please bear with me] [I promise there'll be creative abilities, exciting fights, mystery, and intriguing plot.] [So please follow through meeee]
