<p>"The Year 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 at 9 PM: Human life ended and the Dream began."</p> <p>That was the strange writing on the last page of the book that holds a record of all history—"Grimoire".</p> <p>The year is "another" 1888. A different 19th century, a different United Kingdom, and a different force that rules the world—the "8 Disasters of the 19th Century" that hold powers that threaten human wisdom.</p> <p>The current crisis, the "Black Cloud of Liverpool", has infected the Kingdom's waters with a dark miasma that annihilates all life. The edges have become ruins, and the main land is not holding up much better. A few select places, dubbed "Blessed Cities", have so far resisted the poison of the Disaster known as "The King of Crows". However, even for those select few places the black waters hold no hope. But perhaps, in the other dark sea called the cosmos—a weapon against this miasma can be found. That is the purported power of allegory and metaphor.</p> <p>For that reason, a society of Astronomers assembled in order to reach the sky and pull down a star. And for that reason, all those Astronomers were killed in a single attack. The destruction of the Greenwich Observatory served a metaphor, and so they were destroyed in a war that only took one move.</p> <p>The last Astronomer, Grimm, now on a mission entrusted to her to "obtain a weapon beyond the planet" through the means of a falling star. The last human, Alice, who wakes up in this dream and is informed she is the last person of the human race. Can their stellar collision make even the unchanging sky move?</p> <p>The black and poisoned waters that destroy the country. The undead army prejudiced against all life that ravage the country. The rule-bound "Promised Land" that holds value only in their vision of fiction. The business-bound "Lost Land" where heaven is for sale. In 'this' 19th century where the people know of neither stories nor history, can anything be born?</p> <p>A work about sleep and a song about dreams—The Dormouse Opera.</p>
