Synopsis

Japan, 1000 years from now. Humanity, which has acquired the telekinetic power called "Juryoku," fears the legendary abominations called "Akki" (Fiends) and "Gouma" (Karmic Demons), but has built a peaceful society. However, a group of children previously under the school's strict control, as a result of violating a certain rule, have suddenly descended into a nightmare! The false peace crumbles away, as a fantastic archive tells them the truth of humanity's bloodstained history?

Dystopia created not by tyrants, but as an attempt to keep the last remains of humanity from going extinct. The burden of greater power.
