The scenario is being written Takehiko Hata, a famous Japanese author. You play as a high school student named Horo Tokio. The day before your 17th birthday, your dad tells you that he has something important to tell you, the next day. That night, you see a dream. In the dream, you're a child and you're surrounded by fire, and your parents disappear. You wake up and the world has changed so that your parents actually disappered 12 years ago, and you also come into posession of a mysterious item called the Hollow Pen.
