In a world where the Black Hole Rift looms ominously over Earth, humanity is under constant threat from Hellions, monstrous beings that descend every seven days to wreak havoc. Society has adapted to this apocalyptic new reality, training elite fighters to combat the invaders while searching for a way to close the Rift for good.

Kai Takashi, a laid-back and sarcastic student at Sector 7 Academy, hides a secret—he possesses dual-class abilities, an anomaly that marks him as both E-Class (the weakest) and SSS-Class (the strongest). Though he plays the role of an underachiever, his raw power far surpasses what anyone expects.

Enter Luna Everhart, a brilliant and determined new transfer student from Sector 5, who immediately clashes with Kai’s carefree attitude. She sees him as an arrogant slacker, while he enjoys pushing her buttons. However, when an unexpected Hellion invasion strikes their city, the two are forced to work together, revealing Kai’s true hidden strength—a power even he doesn’t fully understand.

As the series unfolds, the Rift begins to evolve, changing the very fabric of reality. Hellions become stronger, more intelligent, and far deadlier. Clues surface about the existence of a hidden class beyond SSS—+++ Class, a power tied to the Rift’s origin. Meanwhile, two mysterious individuals, Dr. Elias Grant and Seraphina Vale, emerge, claiming to know the truth behind the Rift and its catastrophic effects.

Through intense battles, unexpected alliances, and the gradual unraveling of the Rift’s secrets, Kai and Luna must confront not just the enemies outside but also the growing connection between them. As their rivalry shifts into something deeper, they realize that their fate—and the fate of Earth—are entwined in ways they never imagined.

But with the Black Hole growing stronger and a Hellion commander leading an impending invasion, time is running out. Can Kai and Luna discover the truth behind the Rift before it’s too late? Or will humanity’s last defense fall before an unstoppable force?

The Black hole Chronicles: The Rift Awakens

The Hellion Commander was gone, but the tension remained. The sky above Sector 7 Academy still pulsed with Rift energy, as if the Black Hole itself was watching.

Kai exhaled, rubbing his temples. "Alright. That was a lot."

Seraphina—now unmasked—stood before him, her silver-white hair catching the wind, her golden eyes unreadable.

Luna was still staring at her, struggling to process everything. "So… you've been hiding your identity this whole time?"

Seraphina's expression remained calm. "It was necessary."

Kai folded his arms. "Yeah? And what else are you hiding?"

Seraphina met his gaze, her golden eyes sharp. "A lot."

Luna stepped forward. "If you know what's happening, now's the time to tell us."

Then, she turned her gaze toward the Black Hole Rift, still glowing ominously above them.

"It's getting worse," she murmured.

"The Rift isn't just a tear in space," she said. "It's an entity. And it's evolving."

Kai's smirk faded. "You're telling me the giant black hole in the sky has a personality now?"

Seraphina didn't react to his sarcasm. "It has a purpose. And it's starting to act on its own."

Luna felt a chill creep up her spine. "That's… not possible."

Seraphina shook her head. "It shouldn't be. But something has changed."

"And I think it has to do with you."

Luna's breath caught. "Because of his… class?"

Seraphina nodded. "Kai isn't just an SSS-Class anomaly. He's something beyond that. And the Rift knows it."

Kai ran a hand through his streaked hair, exhaling. "Okay. So let's say I buy into this whole 'chosen one' nonsense. What exactly am I supposed to do about it?"

Seraphina studied him for a long moment.

"You have to learn how to control it."

Kai blinked. "Control it? Lady, I don't even know what 'it' is."

Seraphina's golden eyes glowed faintly. "That's why I'm going to train you."

Luna's jaw clenched. "Wait, what? You can't just decide something like that!"

Seraphina turned to her. "If we don't, the Rift will take him first."

He remembered the Hellion Commander's words.

He had felt it. Something inside him was changing. If he didn't learn how to control it…

The Rift might control him instead.

Kai exhaled. "Alright. Let's say I agree to this little training session. What's the catch?"

Seraphina's gaze was unreadable. "You have to be willing to go beyond what normal humans can endure."

Luna glared at him. "Kai, this isn't a joke!"

Kai shrugged. "Look, if the universe wants me dead, I'd rather learn how to fight back."

Luna looked between him and Seraphina, her frustration evident. "Fine. But I'm coming too."

Kai raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Didn't take you for the hands-on type, Cherry Blossom."

Luna scoffed. "Someone has to keep you from getting yourself killed."

Seraphina nodded. "Then it's decided. We leave at dawn."

Kai smirked. "Dramatic. I like it."

Seraphina didn't smile. "You won't after you see what's coming next."

Something told him this was about to get a lot worse before it got better.

Deep within the Black Hole Rift, something shifted.

A figure watched from the darkness, their red eyes glowing faintly.

A low chuckle echoed through the void.

The Rift pulsed again—growing wider.

The world was running out of time.

And Kai Takashi was running out of choices.
