Synopsis[]
Setting[]
Long time ago, wanderers, who are called as "Lost Ones", came from an alternative world known as "Japan" and were given power namely "Pure Concept". They created an advance civilization with the supernatural force and it ended up the whole world using Japanese as the only language. Nevertheless, the power of "Pure Concept" lost control and brought disaster and calamity to the world. Among those disasters, there are four legendary disasters - Sword of Salt, which turned the whole western continent into the salt which melted in the sea, the Pandemonium, which covers the southern archipelago, the Mechanical Society, which controls the Wild Frontier in the east, and the Starhusk, which carved out the center of the northern continent and set it afloat. Those are called "Human Error" and still have impact to the world after thousands of years. Since then, Lost Ones, while still arrive to the world from time to time, are treated as a taboo.
Plot[]
Menou is an Executioner and is responsible for eliminating Lost Ones. She attempts to kill Akari Tokitō, a Lost One, but fails to do so. Akari has the Pure Concept of Time and is capable to reverse her death after she has been killed. Menou has to find a way to kill her and has no choice but stay with Akari.
