Kaito Sakamura never expected his final year at Matsuda High to turn into a nightmare. What began as an ordinary school day quickly descends into chaos as a mysterious outbreak transforms his classmates and teachers into infected, mindless killers. In the midst of the terror, Kaito suddenly gains access to a strange, game-like survival system that grants him enhanced abilities and displays stats, skills, and even titles. Marked as the “First Slayer” for being the first to kill an infected, Kaito realizes he’s been given a chance to survive—but at a brutal cost.

As the infection spreads through Matsuda High, Kaito must fight for his life, leveling up and unlocking new abilities as he battles his way through blood-soaked hallways and barricaded classrooms. But survival is more than just defeating enemies; it means making impossible choices, risking everything for his friends, and finding out the truth behind the outbreak and this strange “protocol” that seems to govern his every move.

With each level he gains, Kaito becomes stronger, faster, and more resilient—but he’s not alone. Other students begin to awaken similar powers, and soon Kaito finds himself caught between enemies both living and undead. As he faces off against monsters both human and infected, he begins to uncover a horrifying secret that goes far beyond his school—a secret that could change the fate of humanity itself.

"Awakening Protocol: Rise of the First Slayer" is a high-stakes action-horror novel blending supernatural survival elements with intense thriller and post-apocalyptic themes. In a world where strength is the only currency, Kaito must evolve or face certain death in a school that has become his deadly proving ground.
