THE FUTURE IS LOADING . . .

A cold war rages between two powerful nations: Medaluo and Atahua. Amid this conflict, Medan orphans in Atahua can either enrol at Nile Military Academy, or be condemned the enemy.

Recent graduate Eirale joined NileCorp's private forces readily. But when Atahua's most wanted anarchist frames her for treason, she is forced on the run with him . . . in Medaluo.

Academy cadet Lia aspires to join NileCorp's private forces. Despite being paired with her nemesis, she only needs to pass her final assignment: infiltrate Medaluo in virtual reality.

As Eirale and Lia race along their separate courses, the two start to suspect they are pieces in a larger conspiracy - and the closer they get to the truth, the closer their worlds come to a shattering collision.
