In the year 2020, Earth's magnetic poles disappeared and humankind was nearly wiped out by cosmic radiation. Within the span of a hundred years, living creatures began to mutate and devour each other while the remaining humans, numbering in the tens of thousands, struggled bitterly in their man-made bases.

In the Abyss, home to the mutated xenogenics, there lived a sentient little mushroom. Because it had been nourished by the blood and flesh of the deceased human An Ze, not only did it take on a similar-looking human form, but a similar name as well: An Zhe.

An Zhe is determined to go to the human base to search for his spore, which had been harvested by humans. Once there, however, he faces the omnipresent risk of discovery and certain death as he tries to keep his non-human nature hidden from the Judges, whose responsibility is to inspect for and eliminate xenogenics like himself. And of all the Judges, Colonel Lu Feng is the most perceptive and merciless—as soon as he determines that someone is a xenogenic, he will execute that person on the spot.

But An Zhe's mutation goes undetected by Lu Feng's eyes, and so a tale of humans and xenogenics unfolds...

Kinoshita, Itaru

With their fossils being all that remained, dinosaurs were believed to be extinct due to a meteor striking the Earth long before humanity existed. But in 1946, the secluded Barakan Island was discovered to be home to a few remaining species of these prehistoric beasts. With successful research in genetic manipulation, dinosaurs were brought back to life, bringing about dinomania around the world. However, excitement quickly dwindled following an incident that led to a person's death.

Despite the rise and fall of the public's interest over the years, 24-year-old Suzume Suma has always wished to interact with and take care of dinosaurs—an aspiration that allows her to land her dream job as a dinosaur keeper at Enoshima Dinoland. As a result of the incident, the dinosaur reserve is barely managing to keep regular visitors with its low staffing and funding. In addition, Suzume can hardly keep up with her coworkers Karin Kirishima and Kaitou. Regardless of the challenges, Suzume stays determined to bring dinomania back in full force!
