Meritas

From the frozen lands of an unknown world emerged a single man, young and filled with life. Despite his earlier issues with how he got there, he quickly understands the situation. With a fragmented memory due to specific reasons he is to understand as time goes on, he makes his way along the already-known crew of the Astral Express. How will his adventures unfold with grained knowledge that comes to him at specific times?

Where two heart had been, one was left. Where love had been, death remains. Where there had once been a promise, deep, reaching beneath the depth of one's being... nothing remains. With a crude gaze and an emotionless being, he went ahead to the ten-year meeting after university had been done. Thus, he encountered his past, the very thing that tore him apart. For both, it was a moment that spiraled into a quiet, tranquil madness, one that would spiral deeper and deeper, bringing to light their most pain-inducing memories and traumas. *hopefully also found on RoyalRoad under the same author name: Meritas* *Discord server: link in bio, copy and paste into google*

*This fanfic is based on the AU made by @peixti on instagram. Make sure to check out her work. The cover is also a drawing made by her. Make sure to follow her for the original (and better) content* The world has lost its shine, that much he knew. It took just a glance, and the slanted perspective gave out more than enough. It was dead, in its own right. The world as he knew it was placed aside for the time being, until he'd figure out both what happened to him, and what was forcing the infection to spread. What was the cause? How did it all even get there? Too many questions, and only a single person to try and find them. It was time for Ken to do what he knew best and cut apart all his foes.

"I opened my eyes on that beach, the one I remember having seen before when I started playing, but the memories were gone, coming back only after I was done with main events. Strangely enough, I had some strong hunches that lingered about as warnings. The rest is history. This story... even my wildest dreams couldn't have prepared me."

Imagine that one day you just happen to "restart" that day. What would you do? Would someone believe you? That's the story of Akira, a man with the ability to remember time resets. No one believed him, but he manages to find someone who does. Watch him "free" time.
