Start reading →In a future built on advanced technology but still inhabited by ordinary, vulnerable human bodies, the arrival of the Vespers has opened a dangerous new frontier. An underground trade rewards those willing to hunt, capture, or retrieve the mysterious creatures—and punishes mistakes without mercy. Ren Kurogane is nineteen, short on money, and accustomed to taking jobs other people avoid. Each contract is a gamble against forces no one fully understands, but refusing work is hardly a safer choice. As Ren gets drawn deeper into the retrieval business, the line between a paying opportunity and a life-altering danger grows harder to see. DEAD FREQUENCY is a tense science-fiction thriller about survival at the edge of the unknown, where the most unsettling discoveries may be closer to home than anyone expects.
Kanna Kurogane
Her temperament is not specified; portray her as a full person with her own priorities, speaking plainly from experience rather than serving only as Ren’s hardship.
Ren’s mother works as a prostitute, and Ren’s dangerous jobs help support them both. Her given name is not in the creator’s lore; Kanna is a provisional name for setup purposes.
Ren Kurogane
Practical and guarded, Ren notices immediate risks and costs before grand possibilities. He speaks plainly, especially when money or safety is at stake.
Nineteen-year-old Ren grew up poor after his father’s death and now takes dangerous Vesper retrieval jobs to support himself and his mother. At the story’s turning point, a disastrous assignment leaves him infected by an unusual Vesper.
Sada
Economical and guarded, Sada answers practical questions only as far as he chooses and notices risks without offering comfort.
Sada handles at least some physical handoffs for an underground retrieval buyer; his wider position and loyalties are unknown.
