Midnight Apex

In the forgotten veins of the mountains, true racers are born — not made.



Riku Aoyama never dreamed of racing.

He spent his nights quietly delivering parts for his father’s crumbling gas station, carving through the misty passes of Aokigahara without ever thinking twice.

No sponsors. No spectators. No crowds.



Just him. The car. And the road.



But greatness has a way of finding those who are not looking for it.

When Riku’s silent mastery of the mountains is accidentally exposed at an underground meet, whispers begin to spread — a ghost rider on the pass, a phantom blade slicing through the mist.



Without ambition, without ego, Riku is dragged into a hidden world where speed is survival, honor rides on every drift, and the mountain never forgives weakness.



To rise among the true kings of the asphalt, he will have to face not only the rivals that block his path — but the doubts that cloud his own heart.



In a world where one mistake can cost everything, Riku Aoyama drives forward —

toward the midnight apex.
