In the distant future, the stars will bring civilization to ruin. The old order collapses, and eighteen great bastions rise from the ground. They create technologies that seem almost magical: awakened tattoos, cybernetic exoskeletons, biological modifications... One by one, humanity’s old fantasies become reality...
And yet... this blood-soaked road strewn with bones still cannot stop humanity from heading toward... annihilation!
Shige runs an obscure little office on the surface, but is actually the librarian of a library whose collection countless people covet.
“What do I care what happens to humanity?”
“But aren’t you human too?”
“Oh... Who told you I was human?”
“Could it be... you’re...”
(Flesh bursts apart and scatters like a waterfall.)
“Though... well... I really am human.”
Shige picks up the book that has appeared on the floor and casually slots it among the many books on the shelves.
“I have everything you want here. Are you ready to offer something in exchange...?”
With a wave of his hand, the stars shimmer!
