Synopsis: That day they found a new world far from the shore line. Just standing in the ocean. Flaming with a fire. Bright and unbearable to look at. Like when mankind first found fire...it could have been the starting point for mankind's new takeoff. But they did not know then... That the cogwheel that would change the world... did not turn... in just one direction.(Freely crafted by me based on the translated opening text.)

Side notes: This is one odd ball that I got in my hands. I really am confused about the art 'cause it's most of the time it's just on the average level and I don't like it. But then there are parts, scenery etc. that are really carefully crafted and just splendid for a reader to watch and read. Still one can get used to the "average level" of art and just follow the story as it goes on. 

The second thing that I'm unsure it the length of the story. It's only 19 chapters and as for a webtoon... that is barely the minimum space to tell a decent story. And if thinking about the scale of the possibilities and world where this story is set... it really isn't even the bare minimum. So is this story axed (as I do fear that it is) or is it just planned to be like that, 19 chapters and no more... I'm still waiting to see how it turns out to be... but after five first chapters I can already see why it'd be a short story.

P.S. This story made me really think about Sidonia no Kishi and Neon Genesis Evangelion 'cause the feeling I got is a bit similar... although they are totally different level from each other. And R 17 is just for this manhwas category and 'cause it contains pretty brutal scenes.
