Japan, Shinjuku, 2003. The sky opened and two monstrous beings came out of nowhere. At the end of the conflict between the two, a man named Alan is sent to the distant future, lost in an unknown yet familiar world.
Now Alan must survive amidst a war...
The year is 11,945, and the 14th war between androids and machines rages. Two armies fight for the fate of the planet, between the ruins of cities, scorching deserts, and dense forests, in a world with permanently radiant days or starry nights.
The machines fight on behalf of their alien masters and the androids in the name of their human creators, but some people just want to forget their troubles and know the world around them amid so much destruction.
Perceived by a few, someone broadcasted an open signal for all who listened, originating from an old POD recording the travels of a poorly dressed stranger.
Maybe he is an adventurer or just a crazy android talking nonsense, but this stranger possesses knowledge long forgotten and will share it with those who care.

"Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening ladies and gentlemen! It is somewhat hard to tell the time since the world has stopped spinning. I am your humble presenter, Alan, the Wanderer, and this is my partner, POD 000. Say hello POD."

"Claim: Heloooo00000..." The POD spoke while sparking and shaking violently.
"Well, it has a few issues but still works. If you are watching us, and wonder who I am and why I am doing this, I just wanted to say that I am sharing information. I have noticed that many androids do not know anything about human culture during my travels around the world. They wonder about the purpose of certain objects, human customs, and how their society worked, so keep watching if you want to know more about humans. Let's start with cities or what's left of them."
Alan found himself in a ruined city with abandoned and tilted buildings and cracked highways with plants growing out of the asphalt. Nature took over the city, with grass covering the streets and sidewalks while moss crawled up the buildings.
Rusty cars stood in the streets, showing the passage of time, vines hung from buildings sometimes linking one building to another, birds flew in flocks across the sky and the noise of animals echoed in the distance.
Alan talked to the POD while walking along a sidewalk in front of a cluster of apartment buildings.
"Let's start with something basic, this type of building is called an apartment building for those of you who don't know." Alan said as he entered the old reception.
An old rug with an erased 'Welcome' was on the floor with a C-shaped table on the left of the room and a broken chandelier with peeling paint hanging from the ceiling.
Passing through an open glass door, Alan arrived at one of the corridors of the building and went up the stairs while recording.
"Many human families lived here and each had their own space called an apartment. Generally, a father, a mother, and their children, but some people could also live alone. POD illuminate here, please."
