His condition was as inexplicable as it was rare, a mystery shared by only a few others in all of human history. But unlike the others, Haruto eventually opens his eyes, nearly a thousand years later, to a world he no longer recognizes. Humanity stands on the edge of extinction. Alien invaders, towering and intelligent, now rule the planet, and the remnants of humankind survive only in scattered, fortified enclaves, fighting desperately against their monstrous conquerors. The Earth has become a battlefield, its skies darkened, its lands ravaged by alien plagues and relentless war. But Haruto’s awakening is no accident. He soon learns that he is the subject of ruthless experimentation, studied by those who seek to uncover the mystery of his unaging body and the secrets he unknowingly harbors. As he grapples with fragments of memories from a world long gone, Haruto is thrust into a brutal struggle, caught between warring factions and ancient mysteries that blur the line between ally and enemy. With nothing but memories of his old life and a newfound world that views him as both weapon and relic, Haruto must discover why he alone was brought back from an endless sleep—and what that might mean for the survival of those who remain. For some mysteries are better left buried, and some fates cannot be escaped.
