Planet Killer

あらすじ
Agent Elie Wes is on the verge of uncovering a world-shattering truth after the fall of the elites. For years, the elites had plotted to depopulate the world, believing that resources were running low and the human population had to be drastically reduced. Their plan to reduce the population by 70% and replace some humans with robots failed—at least on the surface. With their plan unraveling, the elites went into hiding, leaving the low-level workers to take the fall while mid-level workers were given new assignments, hidden away from the world’s eyes for four years. Elie, a relentless agent, vows to hunt down every last one of the elites and bring them to justice. Her journey leads her to an abandoned building where she stumbles upon a document labeled Planet Killer. At first, Elie is confused by the document's drawings, but the name alone intrigues her. During an investigation for a Nigerian terrorist named Edwin Nowee, a known arms dealer, Elie begins to piece together clues and uncovers a mystery that will shake her understanding of the world. As she digs deeper, Elie contacts an artifact observer, Oliver Tate, who urgently requests a meeting in London. However, when Elie arrives at the café, she discovers that Oliver has been run over and left for dead. Alone and scared, Elie begins to uncover that the Planet Killer is not just a document—it’s a weapon. A weapon created by an interdimensional race of beings, designed to eliminate giants and reshape the Earth. This weapon has been hidden for centuries, its blueprints lost in time, but now it is within reach—and Elie’s investigation could either save or destroy the world.
