Chapter 1: Awakening

Ongoing Arc: Awakening Arc (1st Arc)

December 25th.

I—Soya—woke up.

The sky outside was gray.

No snow.

Just silence.

I stared at the ceiling, unmoving, until my throat burned from holding back tears.

I didn't need a phone call.

I didn't need the news.

I just knew.

My brother had died.

The only person who ever cared about me… was gone.

And yet—he left me a gift.

I looked in the mirror.

My eyes had changed.

They looked just like Oniisan's.

That's when I found the letter on my desk—the one Shoko-san had left for me.

He wrote it before he died.

At first, I refused to read it.

I don't know why… I just couldn't.

But eventually, I did.

Satoru:

*"Yo, kiddo. If you're reading this, I'm dead. Harsh way to start, huh?

But don't cry—not today. Tomorrow's your birthday, and even if I'm not around to give you a noogie, I still left you something.

My eyes.

My curse.

My hope.

You're my last miracle."*

Shoko-san told me Oniisan created a Binding Vow—if he died, the Six Eyes would transfer to me.

But I would be the last user.

Tengen is dead.

And now the connection between the Six Eyes and Tengen is broken.

No one will be born with the Six Eyes ever again.

That's why my Six Eyes are broken.

I can't use them the way Oniisan did.

And Oniisan knew that.

He gave them to me anyway—because even in death, he wanted to give me a present.

After the clan found out I had the Six Eyes, they expected me to inherit Infinity too.

But I didn't.

So they began treating me like a failure.

But I'm not powerless.

I have something else.

An ability called No More Human.

Its true function… will be revealed soon.
