Two contrasting worlds; two people alike.

June Iparis, known for being Republic’s one of the wealthiest families, is groomed to be one of the best soldiers of the nation. Although parentless she is, she still has a brother to depend on—Metias. But in an unfortunate event, the world as if falls down to her when the only family left she has reportedly murdered by the prime suspect named Day.

Day, Republic’s most wanted criminal, remains his statue with a mysterious profile. Known dead by his family, yet he’s living up his life for them. When he finds out that a member of his family has been infected with nation’s deadly virus, Plague, he has to cross devil’s den to have a cure. On the day he gets the cure, an incident happens that tends him to be tomorrow’s prime murderer.

June, who is holding grudge against his brother’s murderer, has to hunt down Day. June and Day are neck to neck outsmarting each other. But eventually, behind the murder of his brother, she finds out there is more story behind it that is likely untold.

“[Someone] gets a perfect score—1500 points. No one’s ever gotten this—well, except for some kid a few years ago who the military made a goddy fuss over. Who knows what happens to someone with a score that high? Probably lots of money and power, yeah? You score between a 1450 and a 1499. Pat yourself on the back because you’ll get instant access to six years of high school and then four at the top universities in the Republic: Drake, Stanford, and Brenan…You squeak by with a score between 1000 and 1249. Congress bars you from high school. You join the poor, like my family…You fail. It’s almost always the slum-sector kids who fail. If you’re in this unlucky category, the Republic sends officials to your family’s home. They make your parents sign a contract giving the government full custody over you.”
