DEATH DRIVE

Title: Death Drive



World Overview: Netheria



A lawless, war-torn nation divided into 15 hyper-dangerous sectors, each ruled by different martial clans, mad kings, warlords, or ancient beasts. Netheria is where survival is a luxury and strength is law. The land is soaked in blood, corrupted by ancient powers, and ruled by the legend of Thanatos—the god of death and the father of an unmatchable martial art.



The Martial Art: Thanatos

Said to be the art that even gods fear. It focuses on godlike reflexes, spiritual strikes, and death-touch techniques. Masters of Thanatos are rare, with fewer than 20 known true practitioners in existence. Its most feared technique is:



Aim Assist: A forbidden technique that allows the user to land every blow perfectly for 30 seconds. Once active, dodging is futile. The only known counter is another Aim Assisted strike.







Main Character: Ryo Kinezora



Age: 17



Fighting Style: Kineta, a high-speed variation of Thanatos that multiplies the user’s strength and speed with every movement. Every punch makes the next stronger. Every dodge boosts momentum. But it burns calories and stamina like a furnace.



Background:

At age 7, while scavenging in the slums of Sector 13, Ryo found a hidden Thanatos scroll buried beneath an abandoned temple. Without understanding the danger, he read and unlocked the first gate of Thanatos within him. Ten years later, he’s become a whirlwind of fury—fast, explosive, and untouchable, with a growing reputation as the "Ghost of Sector 13."



Personality: Calm and intense. Rarely speaks, but when he does, it’s impactful. Believes in action over words. Driven by a mysterious urge to “master death.”
