The Pulse (world shift)

Year 2017 from core of the earth a wave of invisible shock was sent to the entire world, known as The Pulse. The Pulse was described publicly as a “deep tectonic resonance event,” a harmless seismic glitch. But the truth: It wasn’t natural. It wasn’t accidental. And it wasn’t the first time. The Pulse is a rare, cyclical phenomenon recorded in hidden texts across multiple fallen civilizations—Sumer, Harappa, Olmec, even fragments in Egyptian priest archives. Every time it appeared, the world changed. Empires rose. Empires vanished. Humanity evolved—quietly. But rulers of old feared the truth: talent could become power, and power could become divinity. So they buried every record. And the cycle repeated. This time, however, the world is too connected to hide what’s coming. Evolution Wearing Human Skin People affected by the Pulse gained “metaphysical-reactive attributes,” or MRA, a subtle reconfiguration of neurons, instincts, and perception. The government calls them metas. But an older name appears in forbidden historical fragments: Paragons. Those who step past human limitation. Abilities don’t manifest instantly. They awaken like instincts you forgot you had: A thought that moves an object A reflex that deflects a blow A sense that predicts danger A whisper of power responding to emotion Abilities are intimate, personal, and deeply psychological—reflecting the person, not biology. The Pulse didn’t give powers. It unlocked dormant architecture in the human mind.

Hakurage no ame Hara (ハクラゲの雨原-Hakurage's Fields of Rain)

On rainy mornings in Tokyo, fourteen-year-old Shinji Minakawa escapes his brutal home life to find solace in an abandoned winter garden. There, he encounters Hakurage Shizu, a mysterious fifteen-year-old gardener living alone among impossible blooms and fading memories. Shinji's world is one of violence and poverty—a father whose fists speak louder than words, a mother drowning in three jobs, and nights spent at a convenience store just to survive. Art is his only refuge, though his parents call it worthless dreaming. Hakurage's world ended six years ago when his parents died in a storm he believes he caused. Now he tends their botanical research facility alone, fighting to preserve their legacy before creditors seize everything in six months. The garden is all he has left—and it's dying. They strike a deal: Shinji will create paintings for Hakurage to sell, funding the garden's restoration. But the subjects Hakurage requests are strangely specific—a red swing set, a paper boat in hydrangeas, a broken fountain. Each painting awakens something in Shinji, fragments of a past he can't quite remember. As the rainy season deepens, so does their bond. Two kids carrying unbearable weights find in each other what they've been missing: someone who understands that survival is its own kind of courage. But the paintings are more than commissions—they're keys to a forgotten childhood friendship, to a tragedy that destroyed both their families simultaneously, to a connection that was severed but never truly broken. With time running out and their demons closing in, Shinji and Hakurage must face the truth buried beneath six years of grief and trauma. In a garden where winter flowers bloom against all logic, they'll discover that some bonds grow back stronger than before—like petals pushing through frost, beautiful and impossible and utterly real. A 14-episode emotional odyssey exploring trauma, memory, found family, and the redemptive power of art and connection. 雨の東京の朝、14歳の皆川シンジは、荒んだ家庭生活から逃れ、打ち捨てられた冬の庭園に安らぎを見出す。そこで彼は、不可能に咲き誇る花々と薄れゆく記憶の中に一人で暮らす、謎めいた15歳の庭師、志津葉蔵に出会う。 シンジの世界は暴力と貧困に満ちている――言葉よりも拳で語る父親、三つの仕事に溺れる母親、そして生き延びるためだけにコンビニで夜を過ごす日々。アートは彼の唯一の避難所だが、両親はそれを「無価値な夢想」と呼ぶ。 葉蔵の世界は、彼自身が引き起こしたと信じる嵐の中で両親が亡くなった6年前に終わった。今、彼は一人で彼らの植物研究施設を手入れし、債権者が6ヶ月後にすべてを差し押さえる前に、彼らの遺産を守るために闘っている。庭園は彼に残されたすべて――そして、それは死に瀕している。 二人は取引を結ぶ。シンジが葉蔵に売るための絵を描き、庭園の修復資金とするのだ。しかし、葉蔵が要求する主題は奇妙に具体的だ――赤いブランコ、紫陽花の中の紙の船、壊れた噴水。それぞれの絵はシンジの中で何かを呼び覚ます。それは彼が完全には思い出せない過去の断片だった。 雨季が深まるにつれて、彼らの絆も深まっていく。耐え難い重荷を背負った二人の少年は、お互いの中に、自分たちが失っていたものを見つける。それは、「生き残ること」がそれ自体、一種の勇気であることを理解してくれる誰かだ。だが、その絵は単なる依頼以上のものだった――それは、忘れ去られた幼い頃の友情、同時に両家族を破壊した悲劇、そして断ち切られたが決して壊れてはいなかった繋がりへの鍵なのだ。 時間がなくなり、彼らの抱える悪魔が迫る中、シンジと葉蔵は、6年間の悲しみとトラウマの下に埋もれた真実と向き合わなければならない。すべての論理に反して冬の花が咲くこの庭園で、彼らはある種の絆が、以前よりも強く成長することを発見するだろう――まるで霜を突き破って咲く花びらのように、美しく、不可能で、そして全くの現実として。 トラウマ、記憶、見つけた家族、そしてアートと繋がりの持つ救済力を探求する、全14話の感動的な物語。

In the twilight of the 19th century as the Wild West gasps its final breath and industrial giants carve up America Mike Walker awakens in the body of Mac Callander, a gunslinger of the doomed Van der Linde gang. Pinkertons hunt relentlessly. Outlaws scatter like dust. Civilization advances with steel, oil, and blood. But Mike is no ordinary outlaw. He carries the mind of a modern man and he refuses to die according to someone else’s script. When Destiny Gives Him a Gun… He Builds an Empire While Dutch dreams of mangoes in Tahiti and a freedom he cannot grasp, Mike dreams of something far greater: Crush the O’Driscolls before they ever become a threat. Seize the alcohol trade as prohibition and high taxes loom. Recruit the forgotten, the broken, and the overlooked and forge them into the foundations of a future dynasty. Transform backwoods bootlegging into a multinational conglomerate spanning energy, manufacturing, media, and arms. From muddy frontier towns to rising industrial cities, Mike plants his influence like iron stakes in the ground reshaping the West and rewriting its fate. From Outlaw to Kingmaker Micah? “Send him to the mines. Let him rot in the dark.” Dutch? “Take your ideals and grow mangoes alone.” Every choice Mike makes echoes through history. Every move alters the course of an era that was meant to fade. In a world where the age of cowboys is ending, one transmigrated gunman dares to build an empire that will outlive the West itself. The West May Die But His Legacy Will Not Political power, industrial might, financial dominance the foundations of modern America shift under his feet. Because when history looks back at the Wild West, it won’t just remember the outlaws, the railroads, or the final gunfights. It will remember the man who turned chaos into a corporation. A king forged not by bullets, but by vision. This is the story of Mike Walker the outlaw who built an empire before America even knew it needed one.
