Stripped of his original body and with his brother's soul missing, Ryuuichi embarks on a perilous journey to unravel the truth behind their predicament.

As he delves deeper into the shadows of the city, he uncovers a vast governmental conspiracy and an illicit human experimentation scheme that his brother had become embroiled in. Tormented by regrets over his past decisions, Ryuuichi faces formidable enemies in a series of deadly confrontations. To complicate matters, a mysterious woman named Miyuki appears, bearing an uncanny resemblance to his beloved, whom he once vowed to protect with his life. She holds crucial secrets that intertwine with Ryuuichi's quest for vengeance and clarity.
