In a world constructed of qualities parallel to our own, in the early ages of humanity, where men and gods ran together through the wood and sea, a young boy struggles to achieve his wish. Rather simple, although surely impossible, the boy, Kato, wishes to become immortal. Through trials and experiences, the boy learns of the world, and it's virtues, only to be cursed with that very same knowledge. The curse of ambition and knowledge, along with the curse of hope, plague Kato, as he ventures through this ancient world.
