The story is set in modern year 2012 in an alternate timeline of Earth in Tokyo, Japan, where the Japanese had stayed a neutral country instead of joining the Axis Powers in World War II but had still done most of the things they had done. The story is about a man who was once part of an organization named XenoScar, but later betrayed them and began to fight against them for the sake of humanity's future.
Plot[]
In a history where Japan was never part of the Axis Powers, the Nazis were easily defeated by the alliance due to the lack of support from the Japanese army, and while Germany and Italy were being defeated, Japan continued to conquer Korea and China as they did many times before, but failed because of the United States of America. Because Japan had remained an independent country, they surrendered easier even with their unyielding spirits and never had Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombed, but because of their surrender, an organization was created after the war and they called themselves, XenoScar. For over 60 years, XenoScar stayed hidden until they recieved the technology to create their ultimate army after failing to create them so many times. In 2004, a middle school boy named Ichigo Toshida was abducted and never seen again; that was, until 2011, where he was seen stealing technology by a young scientist named Naomi Fuyumoto.
When Ichigo was in his middle school years, he suddenly disappeared without anyone knowing why or even how, but what had happened was that he was actually kidnapped by XenoScar to be the test subject for an experiment called Project Sigma, the plan to create the ultimate warrior using a combination of human and mutant animal DNA. Project Sigma was a success, and Ichigo became a reborned soldier for XenoScar, having no memories of his past and no human emotions. Ichigo was renamed XenoΣ for being the 18th mutant they have created; Ichigo was immidiately dispatched as the XenoScar head thief and assassin for his unrivalled speed and his dark armor. In 2012, Ichigo had began to regain his human senses due to Project Sigma being incomplete despite many scientist believing it was, and Ichigo escaped from them and acted as if all he went through was all a bad dream. When Ichigo escaped, he was already a wanted man for his crimes and was in high alert watch since he was seen stealing highly advanced technology, so he had no where he could go without being caught until he met with Naomi. Ichigo remembers about what he has done as part of XenoScar, so he had planned to repent for his sins by fighting against them after Naomi had given him the strength to once again use his hated powers.
