The R class possesses superior physical and mental abilities, making them dominant in society, while ordinary humans struggle to maintain relevance and autonomy.
The protagonist, Rei, is a young R-class individual who begins to question the rigid hierarchy and the ethical implications of genetic enhancement. Rei's journey is set in motion when a mysterious organization, known as the Second Power, emerges with the goal of overthrowing the existing order. This group claims to possess a revolutionary technology that could either liberate humanity or plunge it into further chaos. Rei becomes entangled in the conflict after discovering a hidden connection between the Second Power and his own past.

The narrative is punctuated by high-stakes action sequences and moments of introspection, creating a balance between external conflict and internal growth.
