I, THE APOCALYPSE

In a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by kaiju known as Calamities, arrogant survivor Kaz Ren is mysteriously immune to the symbiotic enhancements that allow others to fight back. When the monstrous *Eclipse Leviathan* annihilates his sky-city, Kaz is taken to the brutal Akatsuki Academy, where students are weaponized through forced symbiosis with kaiju DNA. Branded a "Failed Candidate" for his lack of enhancements, Kaz endures brutal hazing and deadly training exercises. But Director Shirogane sees value in his immunity—especially when Kaz begins hearing whispers from *Vritra*, an ancient kaiju entity living inside him. As Kaz climbs the academy's ranks through sheer brutality, he uncovers the horrifying truth. Now, Kaz must embrace the monster within to face the god-like Leviathan—even if it means becoming the very thing he hates. --- The ruins of Neo-Osaka burned beneath them, the sky choked with ash and the screams of the dying. Kaz stood atop the shattered remains of Akatsuki Academy, his body broken, his uniform soaked in blood—both his and others'. Before him, the Eclipse Leviathan loomed, its fractal wings blotting out the sun, its countless eyes reflecting the countless times this moment had played out across millennia. Kaz spat a glob of blackened blood onto the ground. His right arm—now more serpent than flesh—twitched as Vritra's voice coiled through his mind. "You cannot kill a god," the Leviathan whispered, its voice the sound of continents splitting. Kaz laughed, the sound raw and broken. "Gods don’t die," he said, pushing himself upright. His bones cracked, his flesh warping as Vritra's power surged through him. Scales erupted along his neck, his pupils splitting into vertical slits. "They evolve." The Leviathan hesitated—the first time in eternity something had given it pause. Kaz took a step forward, his body reshaping itself into something older, something hungrier. "And I am the necessary evil for that evolution." Another step. The ground trembled. "You…you’re just a piece of me. A remake. A fake." His voice distorted, layered with Vritra's primordial growl. **"A false god."** The Leviathan screamed as Kaz *changed*—not into a man, not into a monster, but into something that had waited millennia to be whole again.
