Story
In 2436 AD, 350 years since humans had terraformed the Balkan Star System located 150 lights years from earth, 2 young twins Thor and Rai living on the space station Space Colony Juno one day arrived at home, and discovered that their parents were murdered. For unexplained reasons, they were kidnapped and sent to exile on an uncharted planet named Chimera, also known as the "Planet of the Beast King" (Jyu Oh Sei). Separated from his brother Rai, who was swallowed by a large canivorous plant in the ground, Thor must fight for his survival in this harsh world, infested with giant carnivorous plants and populated by outcasts (and criminals) from across the galaxy. Determined to escape at any cost, he must confront the highest authority in this forsaken world, also called the "Beast King" (Jyu Oh), who was rumored to be the only person with means to leave the planet.
