High in the sky, the last barrier of mankind hangs - the ring city "Arcadia". It exists on the poisonous miasma that consumes the surface world. It is a paradise for survivors and a prison for the forgotten.
Ryan, a former elite order officer, is now just a hunter who makes a living in the lower levels of the city by searching for relics of the old world. He thought he would live and die in this steel jungle, until a mysterious "Stardust Compass" involved him in a huge conspiracy across the world.
Peace built by lies, destruction caused by the truth.
When the energy core that sustains the city is revealed to be the culprit of the doomsday, and when the immortality of the ruling class is built on the bones of billions of people, Ryan is forced to face his past and join forces with the rebel "Root Whisperer" girl Ella, who is determined to return to the ground, to fight against the ruling machine of the entire floating city.
The one who is chasing him is the mentor who pushed him into the abyss in the past.
What stands in his way is a dictator who wants to use technology to become a god.
From the lowest steam pipeline to the highest throne of power, a war that will determine the direction of human civilization is about to ignite.
And when the floating city finally falls, will the real dawn come as promised?
