Would humans evolve in Dystopia? Would humans devolve in Utopia? There’s no happiness without sadness; there’s no learning without strife. What’s the destination for humanity? An unending cycle of conflicts and peace? It’s going to be a long journey, a winding journey, where we do not crave for sufferings, but opportunities to be the best of ourselves and to face the worst of ourselves, so we can be complete. The ending may be frightening, but we all have an innocent beginning. Dying Innocence is the first Act of Desperia Zero, which is the first book of Desperia Saga. In an era so far in the future that the name of the planet has been forsaken and the calendar of humanity has been reset, an alien cybercity is founded on an artificial island as vast as sky and surrounded by ocean. The citizens of this place are not “born” but wake up, in their synthetic bodies. They call themselves “Human Beings”. And this place is introduced to them as Desperia. Powered by otherworldly technology, Desperia is a Utopia, where food and water and energy will run out, but a Dystopia, as everyone must play a "Game", to reach the heart of this artificial land, where the Ultimate Prize: Truth or Freedom awaits. Only one prize can be claimed...
