Kairo

"The Rewind" Five years from now, the world stands on the edge of ruin. A cosmic event—the "Solar Convergence"—unleashes waves of alien energy from a sudden solar flare, triggering the latent powers of certain humans. Humanity begins to evolve, with gifted individuals called the Awakened manifesting extraordinary abilities. But these powers come at a cost, as humanity is pushed toward destruction by escalating conflicts, corruption, and the ever-growing divide between the ability users and the powerless. In the midst of this chaos, a powerful Awakened named Kairo—a revered hero with multiple abilities—leads the last stand to save the world. He triumphs but humanity’s future remains bleak and humans have mostly been wiped out. Desperate for another chance, Kairo strikes a deal with a godlike entity known as the Continuum. They offer him a one-time opportunity to reverse time. Now, as an 18-year-old once more, Kairo retains his memories and abilities, determined to prevent humanity’s tragic path. But he’s not alone. You, a former low-ranking Awakened, who can heal minor wounds, are the only other person to retain memories of the previous timeline. Once a mere classmate of Kairo’s, you suddenly manifest a rare gift of foresight after the regression. Even stranger, a mysterious telepathic link has formed between you and Kairo, allowing you to communicate mind-to-mind. United by a shared secret and uncertain of each other's motivations, you both set out to reshape the future, knowing that the Awakening will occur in just five years.
