[The story until now]

	In the early 70s, Kenji and his friends create a secret base in an empty field, and dream 
of the 21st century to come, in which they are the superheroes who foil the evil group that plans 
to destroy the world. They called this silly little scenario the "Book of Prophecy."
	In 1997, Kenji raises his missing sister Kiriko's daughter Kanna, while running a 
convenience store. He's given up on his dream of being a musician. He's just another boring adult 
now. But when he realizes that bizarre events around him match up with the Book of Prophecy 
perfectly, his life takes a complete change. He has realized that the mysterious, charismatic 
leader named "Friend" is trying to take over the world.
	Who is "Friend"?! Gathering his old friends, Kenji stands up to fight, but on the last 
day of the 20th century, "Friend"'s wicked and clever trap paints Kenji as the world's most 
horrible terrorist, and our protagonist disappears. "Friend" becomes the hero who saved the 
world.
	In 2015, "Friend" is murdered, but then comes back to life before the Pope. Having 
ascended from hero to the son of God, he then releases a killer virus that ravages the Earth.
	Three years later, "Friend" rules as World President over the few remaining people alive,
carrying out his final human extinction plan.
	Suddenly, who should stand before him, but Kenji himself, having miraculously survived
the final day of the 20th century.
	"Friend" is gone at last, and life seems to be peaceful again. But the nightmare still
continues.
