Souta Ishikawa is just an ordinary college student with a love for Science, philosophy, and turning his theories into games. Everything changes one day when he receives a mysterious box left behind by his father, who recently passed away. Inside lies a system that grants him new powers, one ability at a time, every 24 hours.

As Souta navigates this strange new world, he encounters friends, rivals, and hidden forces that test his wits, creativity, and courage. Each day brings new challenges, new abilities, and new risks forcing him to think strategically and adapt quickly if he hopes to survive.

Cooldown: 24 Hours is a story about discovery, growth, and the extraordinary potential hidden within an ordinary life.

Thank you for picking up Cooldown: 24 Hours. This story has been a labor of love. Although the story is a bit slow-paced, it has a blend of ideas I've been fascinated by for years, including power systems, strategy, human choices, and the fine line between ordinary life and extraordinary responsibility.


Souta isn't perfect. He's just a normal college student thrown into a world far bigger than he can understand. But that's the point, even sometimes, greatness comes not from innate talent, but from perseverance, curiosity, and the choices we make under pressure.


This story explores not just battles or powers, but the weight of consequences, the importance of strategy, and the impact of the people we care about. Powers may come with a cooldown, but the challenges, growth, and moral decisions? Those are constant.


I hope you enjoy the ride, the twists, and the moments that make you think and maybe question what you'd do if you were in Souta's shoes.


Thank you for reading, and let's see what unfolds together.
