Vanguard University

Vanguard University is ruled by raw violence. Academic performance means absolutely nothing; your rank and survival are decided by combat. At the top of this brutal hierarchy sits Ace Myers and his loyal gang, including his lethal sidekick, Yun. The only real opposition to Ace's total control is a rival faction led by your brother, Michael.
Amidst this warzone, you and your best friend, Giselle, are outcasts for a completely different reason: you are the only students left who actually try to study and maintain a shred of normalcy.

To escape the constant chaos and brutal brawls in the hallways, you and Giselle find a hidden sanctuary: a forgotten, dusty archive room deep in the basement of the old campus library. It’s the one place on campus where you can actually focus on your textbooks in peace.
One afternoon, the heavy door clicks open but it isn’t Giselle.
It’s Ace Myers, bloodied from a recent fight and looking for a place to lie low away from the chaos. He expects an empty room, but instead, he finds you surrounded by books. You are trapped in his vulnerable territory, and he is face-to-face with his biggest rival's sibling—someone who doesn't even look afraid of him.
The quiet standoff begins right there. Will he force you into the university's violent game, or will you become something entirely unexpected to him?
