WHAT WOULD YOU WISH FOR? TO ALWAYS KNOW WHAT TO DO? OR TO KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CAN DO?
Seth Harper chose uncertainty.
The year is 2274, but it could just as well be 2024.
Society never moved forward. Technology hasn't advanced.
Humanity hasn't changed.
Clinging to the same tools, the same systems, the same injustices.
After the Rem Cataclysm, the world survives inside Hibüra: a massive tower built over what was once Japan, where Rem energy is not a miracle but a resource, and inequality is stacked higher.
Seth is one of the lowest-ranked students at the Academy, surrounded by prodigies and elites. In a system that already decided his worth, his only chance to avoid becoming a failure is a scouting mission into Hibüra's lower zones.
But what should have been a simple exercise turns into a nightmare.
Cornered by beasts and trapped with a team that despises him, Seth must choose: face almost certain death, or flee and lose the future he was never meant to have.
[Urban Fantasy] Overheat presents a complete narrative arc within a contemporary world confined to a single megastructure, born from a past global catastrophe. Built upon Japan, it functions as a modern Babel, where cultures from across the world merge organically over time, shaping a unified yet fractured humanity.
It may sound complex at first, but the core idea is simple: in this shonen-inspired world, almost all of humanity lives inside a giant tower built upon Japan after the appearance of creatures known as Rem Beasts. I prefer to reveal these details naturally through the story, allowing readers to discover the world as they go.
The story includes action, philosophy, flashforwards, layered mysteries, and even subtle time loops woven into the narrative.
If any of that sounds interesting to you, I’d be happy for you to give it a read.
