Synopsis

Kenshi Ori is an inventor who lives in Okutama isolated from the rest of society. As society collapses due to the presence of meteorites that crashed into Earth's surface, which causes the electricity surrounding Tokyo to shut down, Kenshi finds that the meteorites have also impacted his inventions, one of which resembles a wand. He later finds that the wand now carries magical energy that could be used in order to replace technology.
