クロックワーク・ゼロ
Everyone knows when they'll die. Except him.
In Ren's world, every newborn is branded with a countdown — the exact second they'll die. Ren's never took. When the timers call him an anomaly, armed hunters storm his classroom, and a white-haired girl with a baton drags him underground to the truth: the countdowns aren't fate, they're a harvest. At the heart of it ticks the Clockmaker, and the only weapon against him is a power called ZERO that costs a stranger's life every time Ren uses it.

Ren
The Anomaly
The only person ever born without a countdown. Calm, cocky, and carrying a power that kills strangers.

The Runner
Rebel Guardian
Baton, combat boots, 23 hours left on her wrist. Saves Ren first, insults him second.

The Clockmaker
Keeper of Time
A pocket watch where a face should be. He believes humanity burns without fate.
