To prevent the destruction of the world, the protagonist “Ace” dives into the Sea of Possibility in search of the key known as the “Shards of Possibility”. As Ace continues to dive, countless memories flood his mind, and the truth behind the collapsing world—and the research itself—begins to surface….
