Jihai

Aoi is a Ravant, an artificially engineered human burdened with a strictly limited lifespan. To survive, he works as a specialized courier capable of traversing vast distances in impossibly short periods of time. He achieves this by navigating the Jihai, a desolate wasteland where life is supposedly impossible to sustain. However, his dangerous profession takes a deadly turn when a routine delivery goes catastrophically wrong and the intended recipient attempts to murder him. Narrowly escaping death, Aoi is rescued and brought to a secluded town harboring a deeply unsettling secret. The local orphanage is far from ordinary; most of the children residing there possess extraordinary, superhuman abilities that defy natural explanation. As Aoi recovers and uncovers the hidden truths behind the facility, he finds himself entangled in a complex web of mystery and power. Driven by a burning desire for vengeance against those who betrayed him, Aoi must carefully navigate his new surroundings. The gifted children and enigmatic residents of this town could become invaluable allies in his quest for retribution, or they might ultimately prove to be an even more devastating threat than the enemies he left behind in the wasteland.
