B.U.R.N: Bio-Uniform Response Narcotic

In the neon veins of a dying Japan, a drug is eating people alive.

They call it Burn—a mind-altering substance that doesn't just destroy the body. It rewires the soul. Some users vanish. Others come back changed… their minds gone, their voices layered with static, their hands twitching like insects.

Ren Arakida doesn’t work for the cops. He doesn’t believe in redemption. But he has a gift: when he touches someone’s hand, he sees what they’ve become. And with Burn, what they’ve become is inhuman.

Alongside a fugitive cybernetic doctor and a rogue engineer who can turn junk into miracles, Ren runs Third Vein—a hidden clinic where the broken sometimes get one last chance.

But the more cases they see, the clearer it becomes: Burn isn’t a drug.

It’s a message.

And it’s spreading.
