Dear Zero [OFCL]

Following humanity’s hard-won victory against the menacing gates, a fragile peace settles over the world. However, the extraordinary abilities of espers now pose a new challenge, as their immense power proves to be both a gift and a curse.

At the center of this uneasy balance is Michael, known as Esper Zero, who stands on the brink of self-destruction. His life, shaped by conflict and chaos, seems destined for ruin—until Adam steps into the picture. A retired soldier burdened by the broken connection between espers and their guides, Adam sees an opportunity for redemption.

In a daring move, Adam extends an offer that could change everything: a new identity and a new beginning. Renaming Michael as “Eve,” he symbolizes a fresh start and a glimmer of hope in a world still healing from its scars.

But can someone who was created solely for battle ever truly find peace? This thought-provoking tale explores themes of redemption, identity, and the enduring struggle to overcome a violent past in pursuit of a brighter future.
