In a post-apocalyptic realm, a mysterious traveler is awakened from an ancient capsule. The humanoid beings, known as the Animas, have long sought their prophesied savior, and they believe this traveler to be the one. With fragmented memories and an uncertain past, the traveler sets forth to uncover the enigma of their origins and the fate of the long-lost human race.

In this desolate world, the Animas are constantly under threat, hunted relentlessly by the predatory Kea race. Their first refuge, a once-majestic snowfield base, offers no solace, for it lies in ruins. Now, as refugees, they journey across vast continents, driven by whispers of surviving humans.

Their adventures lead them to:

The Lush Forest: A verdant trap where the Keas imprison Animas. Here, the Animas are not just captives but an energy source, fueling the Keas’ insatiable hunger and accelerating the demise of the Anima race.

The Grand Metropolis: Amidst the towering remnants of human civilization, echoes of the past hint at the roots of the Kea-Anima conflict, a struggle that intensified during humanity’s final days.

The Scorching Desert: A land where the Keas’ cruelty takes a different form. Instead of outright slaughter, the Animas are enslaved, forced to tend to bizarre flora near the life-giving oases.

As they delve deeper into each territory, revelations surface. In the land known as Detis, the traveler confronts a shocking truth: they were once an abandoned Kea. Yet, despite this revelation, the Animas stand by the traveler, united by a shared vision of peace.

Their quest culminates in Maran, the last bastion of human legacy. Hidden within is the lair of Tiamatt, the malevolent AI orchestrating the world’s chaos. Before the inevitable confrontation, an olive branch is extended to the Keas, forging an unlikely alliance against the shared adversary. The battle against Tiamatt is fierce, but victory is achieved. However, the triumph feels ephemeral, as if trapped in a cyclical loop of time.

In a desperate bid for a brighter future, a plan is hatched: a centuries-long slumber, with the Keas as guardians, hoping for humanity’s reawakening. But fate is fickle. A system glitch triggers an early awakening, leaving the traveler with haunting questions: Who truly are they? What role do they play in this reborn world? The odyssey, it seems, has only just begun…
