Synopsis
Teen Jomy discovers psychic powers, rebels against AI-controlled space society, and uncovers humanity's lost connection to Earth.
In the distant future, Earth has become a desolate wasteland known as Terra, forcing humanity to create a new society among the stars. This space-faring civilization operates under strict logic, governed by supercomputers that regulate every aspect of life. Children are artificially conceived and raised, with their futures determined by a mandatory "Adulthood Exam" at age 14. Jomy Marquis Shin is approaching his fourteenth birthday, when he will face this pivotal examination that will decide his place in society. However, as the day draws near, he begins experiencing strange phenomena and encounters mysterious voices that hint at a hidden truth about himself and the world he thought he knew. Caught between the rigid order of human society and the existence of the "Mu"—a group of humans who have developed extraordinary psychic abilities—Jomy finds himself at the center of a conflict that challenges everything he believed about humanity's past and future. As he discovers more about the Mu and their connection to the lost planet Terra, he must navigate between two worlds while grappling with questions of identity, belonging, and what it truly means to be human.
