In the distant future, a "60-minute war" destroyed the earth, turned the world into a wasteland, and created fault lines in civilization. London was the first to transform itself into a giant mobile city, plundering resources and attacking weak towns. People believe in "urban Darwinism", that is: the weak eat the strong. In addition to mobile cities on land, there are also cities on the sea, ice fields, and cities in the sky. Europe has become an urban hunting ground.
Tom is a well-behaved third-level apprentice of the London Historical Society, determined to become an excellent historian. The peaceful life is disrupted by the appearance of the mysterious girl Hester. The two of them accidentally fell out of London. How should they protect themselves in the dangerous wild world?
The two friends and enemies continued to pursue the city of London. Along the way, they encountered the Pirate Town gang, "Anti-Traction Alliance" agent Fang Anna, and a cyborg named "Shrek" who was chasing them. The adventure has just begun, and many mysteries are waiting for Tom and Hester to solve...
