A world sinking into chaos…
Answers fading away into the mist…
The meaning of life, even the sense of time…
All beyond the grasp of reason in those days—
And yet she reminded me of the warmth of living beings.
Alice…
Like a flickering candle in the wind,
she still carried the will to live.
I transcended everything,
and with quiet resolve,
I embedded a new life within her—
Alice fought.
Through searing pain,
through surgeries that cut her apart.
Her consciousness fractured,
her body on the verge of vanishing—
and yet she desperately pulled back
the thin thread of life
swaying in that liminal space.
To etch life into herself—
enduring, resisting, carving it in.
Then came the fusion with the machine.
Was she now a cyborg?
Or just a shell to sustain her flesh?
Even as her form crumbled…
she still seized it—
a new life.
And then… she awakened—
I had created something beyond human comprehension.
Arco Noctis…
The underground shadow order—P/Protoc…
Neither nation nor corporation…
A place without atonement, without salvation.
Power and deep darkness.
A world entangled only in greed.
No light reaches it.
Only desire breathes there.
They would rouse ERROR_001,
forge an arrogant order for the world,
shatter every virtue—
a darkness moving silently, inexorably.
Their plan to unify human intelligence—
E‑Genesis—
has begun, quietly but certainly.
But P/Protoc is not alone.
The world is far more complex.
Twisted hegemonies swirl.
A virus devouring reason.
As ERROR_001 spreads,
nations surge like a flood,
struggling to seize control of the world.
We must not cross the line.
The world’s balance still holds.
Before the vortex of chaos
flows into the abyss—
we have to stop their AI World Integration Plan.
The awakening dragon’s shadow…
It is not here.
It is being forged far away, silently.
Unreachable, unfindable—
and yet undeniably real.
I feel the breath of iron…
Nothing before my eyes…
Yet somewhere in the world, it has begun to move.
I cannot reach it now.
But I will find it.
I will stop it—
with my own hands.
In China, the purge was never completed.
Yet chaos still spreads across the globe.
Next is Japan…
The country where the man lives—
the man who experimented on my body,
who modified me…
His name… is Kageyama.
He toyed with my body,
reshaping and controlling it at will.
He twists space… even time itself.
The boundary between reality and unreality
melting away, quietly.
A man cloaked in madness—
and yet a monstrous shadow
lurking in this world…
