Red Sea Paradox
Kaizen was never meant to save worlds.
He was just a mangaka—an overworked, over-imagining creator who believed that stories were the only way to survive a lonely reality. Drawing until his fingers bled, he learned early that creation was both his escape and his curse. What he didn’t know was that his imagination was never just imagination.
It was a door.
When Kaizen dies in one timeline and awakens six years in the past, he convinces himself it was nothing more than stress, hate, and burnout. A vivid dream. A broken mind. But déjà vu follows him everywhere—familiar rain, repeated conversations, faces that feel already lost. And when impossible events begin to occur—teleportations, fractured cities, rippling dimensions—Kaizen is forced to accept the truth:
Time rewound. Death was real. And the multiverse noticed.
As mysterious forces begin to observe him, Kaizen learns that his power is neither strength nor speed—but creation itself. His drawings, his ideas, his imagined worlds have begun to manifest as real phenomena: waves that bend space, dimensions that collide, realities that bleed into one another. To some, he is a mistake. To others, a weapon.
When an assassin known as Axiom traps Kaizen and his friends inside a false city, the fragile peace of his second life shatters. Battles tear through fractured dimensions. Allies fall. And Kaizen’s power awakens in ways even he doesn’t understand. The clash collapses multiple realities—casting Kaizen and Manajit into a blood-red universe ruled by a militarized empire known as Senvìdia, where execution awaits them.
Meanwhile, far beyond that dying sky, watchers gather.
Aetherion—a calm, dangerous protector from a high-tech universe called Senpai High—moves to intervene. Kings of floating islands prepare for war. Ancient observers debate whether Kaizen is salvation, catastrophe, or something far worse.
