Synopsis:

On the secluded Southern Cross Isle, a clandestine organization seeks to control powerful stone beings known as Cybodies. Operating from an underground fortress, the Glittering Crux Brigade aims to break the dimensional barrier separating these creatures from their home realm, "Zero Time," granting them unrestricted power. The group's current objective involves disrupting the seals of the island's four seal maidens.

Takuto Tsunashi, a newcomer to the island and its academy, finds himself entangled in this conflict after a chance encounter with Sugata Shindou and Wako Agemaki, one of the seal maidens. He soon discovers a hidden ability: the power to summon a Cybody within Zero Time. As the Glittering Crux's plans draw closer to fruition, Takuto must confront his past and master his abilities to protect Wako and prevent the organization from unleashing the Cybodies upon the world. The narrative explores themes of identity, hidden potential, and the responsibility that comes with extraordinary power.
