There is a layer to this story that cannot be reached through the surface plot alone.
Clues have been deliberately woven throughout the story for the author and readers to uncover together.
Everything needed to reach it should already exist in the knowledge and tools we possess, yet it has not fallen into anyone’s hands—not yet.
As you read on, the story quietly waits for someone to notice.

DEVOUR.
The ordinary. The reality. The world.
Despair, hope, good and evil—none are permitted.
The prophecy is fulfilled here.
Soon, the world will lose everything.
And the man who once saved it has already lost himself.

The boundary between illusion and reality had long since ceased to exist.
In the year 20XX, without warning or precedent, Monsters emerged — consuming cities, devouring lives, swallowing the world’s last reserves of hope whole. And then, when humanity had nearly surrendered to despair, a Savior appeared.
What awaited him was a death sentence — the charge: high treason against the state. Stripped of everything that had ever made him himself, he was cast into a cold and indifferent sea. Yet even there, sinking through the abyss, a light found him — the luminance of a Goddess, merging with what remained of his shattered soul. Darkness coiled around him like a living thing, its tendrils hungry and absolute. And still, against all reason, he was pulled back to the surface.
He returned with nothing. No past. No name. No self. They gave him a new one — Ariwara Yūki — and with it, a second life stitched together from silence and borrowed time. Beside him walked Sano Amana, the girl who would become his anchor, and for a while, the two of them knew something that almost resembled ordinary days.
Then the Monsters came back. They always come back. As his own memories continue to bleed away, Yūki pursues the vanishing silhouette of Amana — drawn ever deeper into a storm where government conspiracies and the ambitions of shadowed factions grind against each other like tectonic plates. He was once the Savior of this world. Now he has nothing.
So what, exactly, can a man with nothing left — do?
