The gods start the world’s countdown to destruction, then take human form as travelers and watch the end unfold with cold indifference.
As the sky turns crimson and living beings scatter into dust, the silver-haired mage Allen sets out on a journey.
No one knows he is the very god who declared the apocalypse.
Past betrayal has left him utterly disillusioned with humanity. This destruction is a “divine punishment” he brought down himself.
Three companions travel with him:
- Lito: a badly wounded warrior whose sole wish is to die on the road home;
- Cecilia: a piano-playing girl who can hear the wind, with a secret in her fingertips capable of piercing divinity;
- The Prince: a white horse who understands human speech, and the god’s last old friend and conscience.
Amid the ruins of collapsing civilization, they witness humanity’s descent:
A father shoves his wife and children into the jaws of monsters; an astrologer turns to dust after gazing upon the face of a god…
Until they enter a café at the end of the world:
> A dying artist vanishes at the climax of his composition,
> A girl takes her place at the piano and plays “Fate,”
> As the notes tremble, a hairline crack crosses the god’s gaze.
> Then she climbs onto the roof and looks straight at him:
> “Was it you who sent the wind to spread hope?”
The bell of judgment for the apocalypse has already begun to toll.
Can the faint light of mortals thaw the god’s frozen heart?
On the three-hundredth day, the world will await its answer in the ashes.
