A Girl Atoning for Humans' Sins
The protagonist, Kyoya, embarks on a bizarre journey. Awakening in a dimly lit room, he discovers it's the year 4000—nearly 2000 years beyond his last memory. The Earth has become a desolate wasteland, and he's accompanied only by a mysterious girl who holds the key to understanding this new reality.
This girl is on a relentless mission, bearing the weight of atoning for humanity's sins. She is trapped in a cycle of death and rebirth, repeating her sacrifice thousands of times. Each resurrection brings her back to face the same grim fate. Witnessing her plight, Kyoya is moved to teach her about the concept of happiness.
The narrative begins at a slow pace, which might initially seem off-putting. However, as the story unfolds, it reveals intricate twists and turns, with seemingly minor details becoming significant later on. This depth ensures a rewarding experience for those who stick with it.
