GENRE: Sci-fi
STORY: A world in which memories can now be converted into data, and physical death can no longer be called death. Memories are stored in databanks, and it has become possible to ‘transfer’ to a new body, buy and sell memories, and even illegally falsify or steal memories. A chaotic society - disempowered and stagnant.
One day, a man wakes up in a ruined room. His name is Kaiba, but he has no memory of who he is. Around his neck, he finds a pendant with a photograph of an unknown woman. Outside his room, memory hunting electrolytic clouds fill the air and suddenly attack Kaiba. He flees into space and as he travels around the stars, he meets various people and starts to regain his memories.
And then there is Neilo, the woman in the pendant... What will happen when they meet again?
