Arion failed the Academy entrance exam five times. Not because he lacked talent— but because he lacked a last name. At twenty-two, he finally gets accepted as the lowest-ranked student, surrounded by teenage prodigies and noble heirs.

A cowardly, luxury-obsessed criminal mastermind hires a silent, deadly assassin to be his bodyguard. She keeps him alive. He complains about the aesthetic. As bullets fly and sparks ignite, his eccentric crew is placing bets: will it end in violence or romance?

Death is the frame that gives life its meaning. I know this because I watch everyone’s time run out. But he is a glitch: a man with infinite time who only wants the end. Our meeting isn’t about saving a life; it’s about understanding why he chooses to leave it.
