Cereus & Limnic: Escape From Okinawa - Type B (Novel)

Three brothers, must fight and survive or never escape.

When war returns to Okinawa, three brothers confront experimental soldiers with stolen voices and a monster older than myth, forcing them to choose between surpassing human limits or losing what makes them human.

Cereus & Limnic: Escape From Okinawa - Type B (Book Cover)

2026, Okinawa is under occupation.

The island goes dark, and the world hears rumors of geopolitical catastrophe. What survives is a fractured archive: field notes smeared with blood, villagers’ voices warped into testimony, and stuttered, contradictory transmissions. Yet in the gaps between fragments, another presence stirs— an old shape surfacing in the waters and forests, its outline etched in whispers and broken data.

Three brothers, Shade, Sun, and Scorch enter the battle on a Dare. Middle brother, Shade is caught between self-loathing and duty. Scorch, the youngest, burns with fury for vengeance. The eldest, Sun, a soldier remade by secret hands, is already half-claimed by something more than human. 

Across abandoned villages and weaponized myths, they confront enemies— prototypes that speak with stolen language, cults prepared for divine violence, and themselves.

But machines are not the only threat. The brothers’ path keeps circling back to the shadow the island itself seems to exhale—a monster neither wholly born of myth nor wholly made in labs, a force waiting to claim them if they falter.

Every encounter forces a choice: to preserve fleeting mercy or unleash a darkness that can never be contained. The Ma brothers’ struggle is more than survival. It is the question of what remains human when nations and nightmares conspire to engineer the future.

Part found-footage horror, part techno-thriller, Cereus & Limnic: Escape From Okinawa Type-B is a case-file novel of beauty and catastrophe, where every fragment points to a truth too dangerous to hold, too human to erase.

(This novel will be released as a serial until it is complete.)

沖縄に戦争が戻るとき、三人の兄弟は盗まれた声を持つ実験兵士と神話より古い怪物に立ち向かう。人間の限界を超えるか、人間性そのものを失うか——選択を迫られる。


2026年、沖縄は占領下にある。

島は闇に沈み、世界は地政学的破局の噂を聞く。生き残ったのは断片化されたアーカイブ——血で汚れたフィールドノート、証言へと歪められた村人たちの声、そして途切れ途切れの矛盾した送信記録。だが断片と断片の隙間に、別の存在が蠢いている——海と森に浮かび上がる古い形、その輪郭は囁きと壊れたデータに刻まれている。

三人の兄弟、シェイド、サン、スコーチは「デア」と共に戦場に入る。次男のシェイドは自己嫌悪と義務の間で引き裂かれている。末っ子のスコーチは復讐の怒りに燃えている。長男のサンは秘密の手によって作り変えられた兵士で、すでに半分は人間以上の何かに奪われている。

廃村と武器化された神話を横切りながら、彼らは敵と対峙する——盗まれた言語で語るプロトタイプ、神聖な暴力に備えるカルト、そして自分自身と。

しかし機械だけが脅威ではない。兄弟たちの道は、島そのものが吐き出すかのような影へと何度も引き戻される——神話から完全に生まれたわけでも、研究室で完全に作られたわけでもない怪物、彼らが躓けば奪い取ろうと待ち構える力。

あらゆる遭遇が選択を強いる:束の間の慈悲を守るか、決して封じ込められない闇を解き放つか。マ兄弟の闘いは生存以上のもの。それは、国家と悪夢が未来を設計しようと共謀するとき、何が人間として残るのかという問いである。

ファウンドフッテージホラーとテクノスリラーが融合した『セレウス&リムニック:沖縄からの脱出 Type-B』は、美と破局のケースファイル小説。すべての断片は、持つにはあまりに危険で、消すにはあまりに人間的な真実を指し示している。
