Zenless Zone Zero: Dawn of the Devouring Abyss

An, a child who awakens inside a cold and cruel experimental facility.

In an attempt to forge a monster driven by malice, they made him endure every kind of suffering in the world, killing him again and again through endless cycles of reincarnation. Yet his utter despair did not give rise to pure hatred. Instead, it drew forth a glimmer of light from another world. This light from beyond granted him a special power fueled by hope: helping others and spreading light are the sources of his growing strength.

The moment he awoke, the pain accumulated over countless cycles erupted all at once, and he purged the experimental facility that had inflicted such suffering on him. He should have fallen into darkness, but the head of the Hoshimi family saved and adopted him. From then on, bearing countless scars and the weight of his past, An embarked on a long journey of saving others.

Primordial One: "Wasn't this guy completely dead? Where did he suddenly come from!"

Protagonist: "I'm out of Aether energy, so I'll use up the light instead~"

Enemy: "666, so running out of energy means the seal comes off, huh? Then what else is there to say? Just take my life."

Those he saved: "We'll never be able to repay the Dawn's kindness!"
