PSI…

A mirror image of yourself… In a proven spiritual world…

Five minutes into the future…

The limit of foreseeing the future, the destruction of the real world…

An artificial God sweeps down upon this land.

This is a machine with the power to create a supreme ruler.

He carves out his own destiny.

The guardian of spirit, the last hope, a sword of judgment…

He will ring order to the world.

He will destroy all evil.

He will protect the one whom he loves.

He will found an eternal Utopia.

But there is only one future.

Should he sacrifice everything to save a single girl?

Or should he a andon her for the sake of righteousness?

Should he defeat the people’s enemy in order to save the world?

Or, as a ruler, should he reign over it…

Through all the struggles, he will find the true nature of power.

Creation and destruction, life and death, joy and sorrow…

What is it all for? Who is it for?

The answer lies in his future…
