Governed by strict academic rankings and the Golden Children, life in the city seems orderly—until the shadows of its past and the threats from within begin to unravel its fragile peace. But the world is living a lie. The true year is 2126, and an entire century has been erased from history. The Erased Centuries, a time when technology reached its peak, were deliberately wiped from memory. No records, no remnants—only whispers of a lost era where power was boundless and knowledge dangerous. The world was reset, the calendar restarted, but some remnants of that forgotten age still exist in secret. Among them are the enigmatic Eyes of Seven—a hidden force that the highest elites believe is the key to sustaining the balance of this new world.

As Schelvia City faces escalating dangers, the long-dormant ZESTROPEDIAN units descend from the skies, machines that once promised Earth’s salvation but instead became its executioners. Meanwhile, the Bunker faction corrupts robots from within, and war threatens to consume the city. But all of these conflicts may be mere echoes of something far greater. The Eyes of Seven, erased along with the lost century, are awakening. The number 11, a symbol that no longer exists, may hold the answers. And Yoshi—whether by fate or design—is at the heart of it all. With war brewing both inside and outside the city, Yoshi must confront his past, unravel the secrets hidden in the Erased Centuries, and decide where his loyalties lie.
