Synopsis
When Shunya Agastya opened his eyes, the first thing he felt was the chill of the pavement beneath his skin and the silence of a world that had forgotten how to breathe. The sky above him was gray and heavy, the streets empty, the air thick with an eerie stillness that whispered of something lost. Disoriented and aching, he stumbled back to his apartment, hoping to find familiarity—to hear his sisters laughing, to smell breakfast, to see life. But the apartment was hollow, lifeless. Every corner felt like a memory fading away. On the dining table lay a single letter sealed in crimson wax, bearing his name. Its words would change everything he thought he knew about himself, his family, and the world. What happened to Earth? Where did everyone go? And why was he left behind? As he ventures deeper into the remnants of a collapsing world, Shunya discovers that the tragedy was no accident—it was the beginning of something far greater, a convergence of forgotten gods, lost science, and the thin line between dreams and reality. The answers lie buried in the ruins of humanity, and somewhere out there, his two little sisters are waiting—alive or dead, he doesn’t know. Haunted by guilt, driven by love, and pursued by shadows that defy reason, Shunya must face the truth of what it means to be human… and what it means to be Zero. This is not just a story of survival—it’s the tale of a man who walks through the end of the world to rediscover the meaning of hope.

Chapter 1 - Dream

A young androgynous man with blue eyes. He had short, medium-length black hair and pale skin, and was standing alone on the pavement with an umbrella in his right hand, as it was raining, with a black leather suitcase at his left hand. A black vehicle goes past him, as he looks at the traffic light, which is still glowing red. Shunya Agastya was your average employee who worked at a private Japanese company. His mother is from Japan while his father was an Indian.

He looked at his watch with an exhausted smile.

"Why is the traffic light still red?"

Shunya then looked at the sky, which was covered with dark clouds as if it was going to eat the whole city. As he was pondering for a moment the traffic light turned green.

"At last, now I can go home and eat dinner with my two little sisters."

He then walked through the Shibuya crossing with people flooding through all sides like ants. As he was walking, he looked at a group of female idols on the big screen, which was attached to a building. Shunya ignored it and walked straight home. After walking for an hour he turned right and entered a tall apartment complex. As Shunya entered through the apartment entrance, he saw a young Japanese woman with short blonde hair and tan skin. She wore loose socks with a short black skirt and a white shirt with a group of high school girls and boys.

"*What are these kids doing here at this hour? And is that a gyaru?*"Shunya thought as he reached the elevator. He pressed the button. The door of the elevator opened with a humming sound. As he entered the elevator, he pressed the 6th floor button. The elevator door closed with the same humming sound.

Shunya then waited for the elevator to reach the 6th floor.

As it reached the 6th floor, the elevator's door opened, and he then walked out of the elevator as if reaching his apartment was important. Shunya then walks through the hallway and stops in front of room no 190.

As he stood there, he then pressed the doorbell, and as it made a sound, he heard the voice of a girl from the other side of the door.

The door then opened.

Standing in front of him was a girl in her late teens. She wore a big white T-shirt and a pair of black trousers. She has short black hair that reaches up to her shoulders and large ruby eyes; she also wears a pair of round glasses. Shunya then smiled.

"Aren't you going to welcome your big brother, Kaori?"

As soon as Shunya said that, his sister looked at him as if she was going to kill him at any moment, but she sighed and said.

"Big brother, do you know what time it is? Shuna was waiting for you to come home soon so that she could celebrate her birthday with you, but here you are coming late."

"Sorry, sorry there was too much work at the office lately, so I wasn't able to come soon. Also, where is Shuna?"

"She went to sleep an hour ago."

"Well, what a shame I brought her the gift she wanted."

"Now, come inside or else you will get sick."

He then entered the apartment, took off his shoes, and kept the umbrella in the corner. Shunya walks towards his little sister's room. An opened the door and entered it quietly. He then walked towards her bed. As he reached the bed, he saw the sleeping face of his little sister.

She had the same black hair as Kaori. Shunya then opened the zipper of his leather suitcase, drew out her gift, and kept it on top of the table near her bed. He then walked out of her room and closed the door.

Signing, Shunya walks towards the living room. As he reaches the room, he puts down his suitcase near the sofa, but before he can sit on the sofa.

Kaori entered the room with a towel.

"Go, take a bath you smell like a trash bin."

"Am I."

"Yes."

Shunya then took the towel from her hand and walked towards the bathroom and opened the bathroom door.

After taking a bath for a few minutes, he changed into a black t-shirt and a pair of black trousers and came back to the living room and saw his little sister sitting on the sofa watching the weather news on the television while eating snacks. In the news, the lady anchor talks about the flood in many areas around Tokyo and Kyoto. Kaori then saw him as he was going towards the kitchen and said nonchalantly.

"Oh, big brother you have finished bathing."

"Yes."

"Ok, then now go eat your dinner. I had kept it on the dining table."

"Thanks, also go to sleep I heard from your homeroom teacher that tomorrow is your Science test."

"Okay, big bro."

As she said, Shunya saw her turning the television off and went towards her bedroom. He signed and walked towards the kitchen and switched on the light.

Shunya then walked towards the dining table and saw a plate covered by a lid and a bowl of rice and chopsticks near it. Ever since the death of their parents he has been taking care of his two little sisters. They died when Shuna was only six months old.

After finishing his dinner, he washed the plates and the bowl.

After all this work, he went to his bedroom. It was a simple room with a bed, a table, a chair and a bookshelf. It was nothing special compared to his two little sisters except for a book on the table. To him, his two little sisters were everything.

Then, he drifted to the world of dreams.

****

He was sitting on a chair with a cup of hot chocolate coffee, turning his head he looked at the other side of the road and saw a lonely dog with black fur. Thinking he muttered to himself.

"What is the dog doing here?"

As he said that, Shunya then turned to look at the mirror in front. And saw his reflection in the mirror. He was wearing a black coat with a white shirt and a black tie.

"Why am I wearing this coat?"

Getting up, he looked again at the other side of the road and saw a person with long black hair streaked with white hair wearing a large oversized jacket and black standing in the place where the dog was supposed to be.

"Is this a dream?"

As he muttered those words, the unknown person turned towards and said with an eerie smile.

"Welcome back my friend."

After hearing those words, he suddenly woke up from his sleep, shaking his head. Shunya then went to the bathroom and saw his two siblings eating at the dining table. Entering the bathroom, he looks at himself in the mirror, his face is covered with sweat.

"What a strange dream, but at least I don't have a dream about my old crush who broke my heart."

As he said those words, he brush his teeth and took a quick bath. After taking a bath, he went back to his room and changed into his office uniform. He then walked towards the kitchen where his siblings were. As soon as he entered the kitchen, Shuna came running towards him and hugged his legs.

"Good morning, big brother. Also, thank you for the new Princess Seila set!"

"Good morning, Shuna."

"Good morning big bro."

"Good morning... to you, Kaori."

After greeting them with a happy good morning, he took his lunch box as he didn't have time for breakfast.

As he went out of the apartment complex, he saw a large number of people. With a hint

of curiosity, Shunya then walks towards the large crowd. Then as he reached the place where the crowd. Pain. Pain that's what he can describe, it was as if thousands of nails were being nailed into his head one by one people started to fall.

*"What is going on? Why are people suddenly falling down? And what is with this headache?"*

As his thoughts were going wild, Shubya Agastya fell on the pavement and his mind drifted into darkness.
