In 2030, humanity began settling Mars on a massive scale and discovered a stone tablet left by an ancient civilization.
A civilization-spanning expedition, centered on the theory of civilizational suicide, had begun in the distant past.
The nations of Mars splintered, and an era of ideals came to an end.
The civil war between Earth and Mars began, shattering human civilization.
Caught between the two extremes of left and right, where would humanity go from here?
There was only one way forward.
They set a course for space, but civilization's death awaited them. The universe was merely a vaster graveyard.
Hope or despair? Beneath the stars, humanity was no different from the primitive people who roamed the wilderness ten thousand years ago.
The civil war's roar shook the cosmos, while peace extinguished its fury.
Confronted by the long-stilled, mighty waves of history in a dead civilization, humanity had only one way forward.
Humanity would inherit history and break through the closed loop of civilization.
