Non perfection
In a fractured, post-apocalyptic world where gunpowder and explosives never existed, humanity survives amidst the ruins of once-great cities. Birmingham, England—once a sanctuary for survivors—has fallen, becoming a battleground in a brutal war between England, ruled by the enhanced Imperfects, and Japan, a nation where humans and Imperfects coexist under the shadow of a colossal radioactive-proof megastructure. As the two nations clash over dwindling resources, the remnants of Birmingham struggle to survive under the leadership of Elias, a hardened strategist determined to reclaim their city.
Erley, an Imperfect, works tirelessly for Elias, carrying out missions to protect the surviving civilians. In a world where warfare relies on bows, swords, and advanced bioweapons, Erley is a tool of survival, unburdened by compassion but driven by duty. However, when the war reignites during a critical mission, Erley's world is upended: Myora, a woman he has grown inexplicably attached to, is captured by the Japanese army. Despite the belief that Imperfects are incapable of love, Erley is driven by an unfamiliar longing to rescue her. Abandoning his post, he leaves his fellow Imperfects and Elias to lead the convoy of survivors in their fight against London's oppressive forces, while he embarks on a perilous journey to Japan.
From the crumbling ruins of Birmingham to the towering, futuristic skyscrapers of London and the imposing megastructure of Tokyo, Erley's quest forces him to confront the truth about his existence, the nature of Imperfects, and the war that has consumed the world. As he ventures deeper into enemy territory, Erley must navigate a world of bioweapons, political intrigue, and the blurred line between humanity and Imperfection. But as the story unfolds, Erley begins to lose the emotions he once had, leaving him to wonder: can he save Myora before he becomes the emotionless weapon he was always meant to be?
