A Girl Atoning for Humans' Sins
The protagonist, Kyoya, embarks on an extraordinary journey that begins in a most unusual manner. He awakens in a dimly lit room to discover it's the year 4000, a staggering 2000 years beyond his last memory. Earth has transformed into a desolate wasteland, and Kyoya's only companion is a mysterious girl who holds the key to his many questions.
This girl is not just a bystander; she carries a profound mission. Trapped in a relentless cycle, she dies repeatedly to atone for humanity's sins, enduring this torment dozens, hundreds, even thousands of times. Each time she resurrects, she faces the same grim fate. The sheer brutality of her existence stirs Kyoya's desire to teach her about the concept of happiness.
The story's pacing may initially seem slow, but patience is rewarded as it gathers momentum. The plot is rich with twists and turns, and seemingly minor details resurface with significant impact later on.
