PICNIC IN THE APOCALYPSE

Haseonick just wanted a normal date. No SQL databases, no calisthenics routines, just a coffee and a chance to tell Emi how he feels. But the Narrator—and the plot itself—has other plans. When the sky turns a rancid violet and the waiter starts spitting tar, the perfect date morphs into a desperate race for survival. Accompanied by Emi, a girl who wields a runic axe with suspicious ferocity, Haseonick must navigate subway stations that devour memories and macabre circuses where the only prize is keeping your life. But the true horror isn't the skinless monsters lurking on the ceilings. The real danger is discovering they are merely characters trapped in a book with a tragic ending already written. Can a guy armed with nothing but sarcasm and terrible duck jokes break the logic of reality and rewrite his own fate?
