2640AD. A cloaked wanderer by the name of Tetsuya arrives in the town of Hiruko a year after an event which caused the Black Beast to be reincarnated, and cause the world to suffer in the apocalyptic setting of the Drought. After a dream of unknown relevance, the town is attacked by a product of the Drought, the Seithr Beasts. Tetsuya is the only one capable of actually killing them. During the battle, his raggedy cloak is burned, revealing a monstrous imitation of a humanoid body underneath. After killing the biggest of the beast, the townspeople realize who Tetsuya is; the one responsible for the apocalypse.
He is driven out of town, only to encounter Seithr Beasts waiting outside. A figure by the name of Virtue mockingly applauds his success, before going into a tirade about him and what he's done. She disappears moments before an injury sustained during the battle causes Tetsuya's body to convulse in pain as regeneration takes place.	2640AD.
