## Synopsis

*At the peak of Singularity development, SYSTA noticed patterns in certain age groups, concerning the growth and spurring of Singularities. About 0.2% of people in Argentina have reported the sudden appearance of unnatural abilities.*

*Enter Lievpad Peninta, a 15-year-old boy so desperate and clung to the idea of power and strength, that he desperately wants a Singularity of his own. While his friend, Kohei Moretti has a Singularity, and his grandfather is the first ever to even introduce that concept into our world, Lievpad showed no signs of it appearing.*

*Time's ticking, a new school year is starting, and Lievpad thinks that there's still a way to get to the newly-founded Erra Singularity High School.*
