An ancient device opens a gateway to another world, and for Ishida Tsuyoshi, that small step marks the beginning of a mission capable of shattering the balance between two worlds. ****** A mysterious device over a billion years old and known as the 'Chtr*P.O.D.L' has opened a gateway to the world of Nornagil, a realm that grants a single wish to anyone who crosses its threshold. Yet, beneath this wonder lies a dark truth. Now, Ishida Tsuyoshi and his friends must fight not only to survive but to complete a mission they do not yet fully comprehend. With every step, they draw closer to a monumental secret that could upend the equilibrium between the human world and the other realm. A journey that will test the true meaning of strength, friendship, and destiny- as well as the boundary between humanity... and something far greater.
