King of Thorn

When a mysterious pandemic known as Medusa begins to ravage humanity, a desperate measure is put into action: a select group of 160 individuals is chosen for cryogenic sleep, a gamble on a future cure. Among them is Kasumi, a young woman grappling with the immense burden of leaving her twin sister, Shizuku, behind. Their shared fate, however, is far from over. Waking prematurely to a world overrun by colossal, deadly thorns and monstrous creatures, Kasumi and the other survivors must navigate a terrifying new reality. As they fight for their lives and attempt to unravel the mystery of their altered surroundings, they confront not only the overwhelming external threats but also the chilling realization that their past, and the very reasons for their selection, hold secrets that could determine their ultimate survival.
