| A star that is slowly following its path to destruction during the ice age. Remnants of a city that would once have flourished. Dome cities that are now half ruins. Man accepted a reluctant life under the rule of the aristocracy. One day, a boy appears in such a frozen city where everything seemed to be still.
He is a wolf. Its name is Kiba. I was aiming for a legendary paradise that is somewhere in this world. The only clue, a phantom flower that is said to open only on a full moon night. . . Rely on the moon flower alone. From the moment Kiba appeared in the city, the wild lurking in him slowly began to melt the world. And as if responding to chaos. A girl who wakes up from a long sleep sleeps in the deep red eyes without reflecting the reality. Those who have stayed will soon begin to move. At first, the young wolves wrestle with Kiba, waking up to their fate as a seed, while colliding with each other. Aiming for a legendary paradise that is somewhere in this world. | |
| Wolf | Legendary creatures that have been considered extinct. Existence that can aim at paradise. When you use special abilities, the human eye can see only human beings. The claws and other wolves then entered the city, blended into humans, and died. |
| Paradise | A place somewhere in the world. It is said that the wolf once lived when human civilization perished. The moon's flowers are in full bloom, and there is no anxiety there, but nothing has actually arrived there or returned from it. |
| Lunar Flower | It is said that flowers blooming in the light of the moon "Paradise" bloom throughout the area. It is said that the fragrance of the moon flower points to the paradise. |
