The world has changed drastically, with the Japanese population completely wiped out. Giant dragons descended from the sky, causing the collapse of the nation. The arrival of monsters called Moju led to the extinction of the Japanese people and the transformation of Japan into a lawless land occupied by armed forces and criminal syndicates. Among the few remaining, Yahiro stands out. He has gained immortality from the blood of dragons and spends his days as a salvager, transporting artwork out of the uninhabited ruins of Tokyo.

One day, Yahiro receives a request from a pair of twin art dealers to salvage a powerful and mysterious item. The item is believed to be connected to the dragons and could hold the key to restoring Japan to its former glory. Yahiro sets out on a perilous journey, encountering various challenges and dangers along the way. He must navigate through the ruins of Tokyo, avoiding the Moju and other threats that lurk in the shadows.

As he delves deeper into the mystery, Yahiro discovers that the item is not as simple as it seems. It is a powerful weapon that could be used for either good or evil, and the fate of Japan rests in his hands. With the help of his allies and the knowledge gained from his experiences, Yahiro must make a difficult decision and use the weapon to bring peace to the world or to further plunge it into chaos.

In the end, Yahiro emerges victorious, using the weapon to defeat the Moju and restore Japan to its former glory. He is hailed as a hero and celebrated for his bravery and determination. The world has changed forever, but Yahiro knows that he has played a crucial role in shaping its future. He continues to salvage artwork and explore the ruins of Tokyo, always searching for new adventures and challenges.
