In this environment, devastated by war and ruled by barbaric tribes, water resources have become extremely precious, turning the world into a hellish place. The protagonist, Jullian, upon hearing of an old air raid shelter where people live happily, decides to seek out this legendary sanctuary. However, he is not the only one looking for this little paradise; his path is filled with monsters and crazed, bloodthirsty killers. The story revolves around Jullian's journey, exploring his struggle to find hope and survival in this desolate world. The author, with its intricate narrative structure and profound emotional expression, takes readers into a complex world filled with amnesia, conspiracy, resurrection, and twisted love.
