Synopsis
RE: hour Ren Kisaragi, age twenty. A boy once called a genius. Back in college, he was everything people admired sharp, confident, a prodigy who graduated at seventeen. The name Ren was whispered across classrooms and broadcast on TV screens. But fame is fragile. One mistake. One betrayal. And everything he built collapsed. Now, Ren lives a quiet, empty life no friends, no respect, no future. He spends his nights in a cramped apartment, surviving off part-time jobs and the fading echoes of who he used to be. His younger sister, Clara, only seventeen, works at a café and the hospital to pay for their sick mother’s bills. She smiles when she sees him, even though she’s the one holding the family together now. Ren hates himself for that. Sometimes, he gambles what little he earns, hoping for a miracle that never comes. The world stopped believing in him so why should he believe in himself? Then one night, as the rain fell quietly outside his window, his phone lit up. [System Message: Would you accept the Re:Hour Program?] Estimated reward: Unlimited wealth, power, and time. Ren laughed bitterly. “A scam,” he muttered. But his finger moved before his thoughts did. He tapped ACCEPT. The screen flashed white. The sound of time shattering echoed through his skull. And before Ren could breathe, the world around him dissolved. When he opened his eyes again, the sky was different. The air shimmered with magic. The ground pulsed with energy. He was standing in a world that looked almost like Earth but wasn’t. > “Welcome, Ren Kisaragi,” a voice whispered. “This is the Hour Realm a world where every second births a new timeline.” Ren didn’t know it yet, but his journey had just begun. A journey where one lost hour could mean ten days vanished. A world that shifts through timelines, generations, and forgotten wars. A world where his choices echo across time itself. And in this realm, Ren would have to decide To live. To fight. Or to disappear forever into the Re: Hour.

Chapter 1 - Rules of Re: Hour

1. Step Transfer

The Step System automatically moves a traveler to another location — or even another timeline — without warning. If the traveler is in danger, the Step activates on its own.

2. One More

When a traveler dies, they are granted one more chance to relive time.

But using it causes memory loss, time distortion, and shortens the traveler's lifespan.

3. Speed Level

A traveler's power called Speed Level increases the more they survive across timelines.

During the first travel, however, the traveler's abilities are unawakened.

4. Vibe System

The Vibe System lets travelers peek a few moments into their future.

But each use causes memory collapse and forces an unwanted time jump.

5. Battery System

The traveler's phone is the core of their time-travel device.

If the phone is lost or its battery dies, the traveler becomes trapped in that timeline forever.

Time Force Protocol

The Time Force are guardians who maintain order across timelines.

They erase or imprison unregistered travelers to prevent reality from collapsing.

Time Detectives – Observe travelers and rescue those lost, erasing their memories afterward.

Time Assassins – Eliminate travelers who threaten the balance of time.

Time Police – Arrest and contain travelers for study or negotiation.

X Hunters – The most dangerous class. They erase entire bloodlines of travelers who have crossed the Time Force.

Unregistered travelers like Ren are almost impossible to detect and extremely dangerous.

Hidden Truths

Not all rules are real.

Some are simulations designed to mislead travelers.

Time moves differently in every realm sometimes one hour equals ten days, sometimes one hour equals a year.

Those who don't understand this rule are doomed to lose themselves… slowly, completely, and forever.
