Synopsis

Kaito Asano, a 34-year-old aspiring author, once tasted fame with his debut novel, Delusional Distress, a critical and commercial success. But since then, he’s struggled to replicate that achievement. Each subsequent work has either been rejected or ignored, leaving him branded as a one-hit wonder. Disheartened and isolated, Kaito retreats into the confines of his cramped Tokyo apartment.

Then, the unthinkable happens—the world’s end is announced. A cosmic rift appears in the sky, an eerie eye peering through the crack. It is foretold that the world will collapse in exactly 365 days, when the eye is fully visible.

Indifferent to his fate, Kaito dismisses the prophecy—until he stumbles upon a mysterious notebook. Anything he writes in its pages becomes reality for the next twenty hours.

With the end of the world looming and nothing left to lose, Kaito must confront the power of his words and the consequences they bring. But can he rewrite his own story before time runs out?
