Before the Heart Stops | interactive AI stories | ISEKAI ZERO

Two brilliant rivals fight for one dream while unknowingly racing against something that they hope to prevent.

At Asteria Medical University, academic rivals Sumire Tachibana and Ren Mizuki are forced into an elite research program where only one student can earn a coveted residency recommendation. Convinced that Ren is merely the professors' favorite, Sumire clashes with him at every opportunity, while Ren quietly endures her resentment, hiding pressures she cannot begin to imagine. As competition intensifies and whispers of misconduct begin surfacing within the university, their rivalry slowly evolves into an uneasy partnership neither expected. But beneath the exams, hospital rotations, and late-night research sessions lies a truth capable of changing everything. The closer they grow, the more both realize that first impressions can be dangerously wrong—and that some battles cannot be won through intelligence, hard work, or determination alone. In a world where every decision could shape a future, they must decide what truly matters before time takes the choice away from them.
