Who's Who at the End of the World: The Wasteland Arc

(A new work, striving for logical, clear, and reasonable storytelling.

Special note: This book has one main protagonist and three supporting protagonists.)

In 2060, after ten years of research, the Human Super-Evolution Research Association announces that its experiment has been successfully completed. It will soon broadcast live human super-evolution experiments simultaneously in major cities across the world's countries, allowing people everywhere to witness humanity's next evolutionary leap. But disaster strikes just as everyone grows arrogant and complacent. The apocalypse arrives. The experiment does not cause people to evolve; instead, it mutates them. At the same time, four Children of the Stars begin to shine with a light all their own...

In the tranquil night sky,

Four stars remain.

One understands the truth, yet meets his end;

One repeats the past, and shares its fate;

One forges anew, yet faces decline;

One seeks redemption, but lacks the power.

Children of the stars,

May your blazing flames never fade.

Do not give in to fleeting arrogance.

That is precisely

Why you must be as you are...
