2045.
Ten years after the deep-sea war ended, the abyssal monsters that once swept across the world appeared on the surface again, just when everyone thought the war was over.
No one was prepared for a second war to break out, except for the servants who had long ago been indoctrinated by the deep sea. Over the past ten years, they had used every means at their disposal to influence the workings of human society, all to pave the way for their new masters, no matter the consequences or methods.
Yet although the deep sea had changed many things, it still could not destroy the most precious thing in people's hearts: hope. In the shadowy alleys of bustling cities, in the frozen forests and snowy plains, and in the fertile lands crisscrossed by waterways, one person after another set foot on this thorn-strewn path without hesitation, all for humanity's liberation and future.
