The series is based in the year 5738 A.D. . We find that all the people in the world have been petrified into rocks. We are told that more than 3700 years ago, a mystic flash of light caused so. In this world of mayhem, a 16-year old boy, Senkū Ishigami gets suddenly revived. Senkū is a boy with sound scientific temperament. He finds to his horror that all human beings around him have been petrified.

He wants to rebuild the civilization with focus on science.
Soon after his revival, Shishiō, a famous martial artist, starts frowning upon Senkū’s idea. He believes that the old world was tainted and corrupt and hence must not be revived.
