Synopsis –
In the year 2242, humanity’s remnants cling to existence within scattered bubble-like cities amidst a desolate landscape ravaged by toxic rain and predatory creatures known as Enders. Their survival hinges on AO crystals, a newfound energy source harvested by daring individuals known as drifters. Piloting agile bipedal tanks alongside combat androids called magus, drifters brave perilous missions to secure these vital resources.
During an expedition alongside his gifted drifter companion Tokio, aspiring drifter Kanata stumbles upon Noir, an intact magus hidden within ancient ruins. Awakening from stasis with no memory of her past, Noir initially appears to be of little use to Kanata’s mission. However, when faced with an onslaught of Enders, Noir reveals astonishing combat prowess, prompting Kanata to unravel the mystery shrouding her origins.
As Kanata and Noir traverse the perilous landscape, their journey becomes twofold: to uncover Noir’s enigmatic past and to locate Histoire, the legendary city rumored to hold the key to humanity’s salvation. Together, they embark on a quest filled with danger, discovery, and the promise of uncovering long-lost secrets buried within the remnants of their world.
