Synopsis

The world already ended. They just don’t know it yet.

Deep beneath the surface, hidden from the ruined outside world, the last remnants of humanity survive inside a massive dome—though most don’t even know it. Outside, monstrous creatures roam freely, wiping out anything that dares challenge them.

Kenji Satoshi is one of the few who knows the truth. As part of a covert military force, he’s trained to fight these monsters and protect humanity’s last hope. But when a mysterious artifact called a Shadow Stone fuses with him, granting him powers beyond imagination, Kenji learns the monsters may not be the greatest threat.

With the walls closing in and humanity on the brink of annihilation, Kenji must uncover the secrets of the Shadow Stone—and face the terrifying reality of what the world has become.

Because survival isn’t guaranteed. And the end is already here.
