Survivors now live in domed cities called Fortresses, protected from the horrors outside. To fight back, humans developed the Knight Program, harnessing a mysterious energy source that emerged during the First Invasion. This program produces super-powered soldiers, known as Knights, who are humanity's last hope against the Elder Gods. *** .Enter Huey Blade, the last heir of a ruined sword family and a returnee swordsman in a post-apocalyptic Earth.

[P.s: Small note to go by for this chapter, science and neurology aren't my forte, but I did make prior research into this theory, but there will be chances that I may be wrong or lacking in certain areas. Regardless, I think it's a theory worth fascinating about. Enjoy.]

What did it mean to die?

That was a common philosophical question with a multitude of personal and abstract answers. Death had both a literal and implied meaning, depending on how one chose to view it.

To die was to have one's heart stop beating and their brain stop functioning, in the most literal sense. Others said to die was to be forgotten, and to forget.
