In the endless river valley of an unknown world, people who died on Earth awakened. Each person clearly remembered his earthly life, and waking up in a place somewhat reminiscent of a Christian paradise was a colossal shock for everyone.

Rumors of his awakening spread throughout the valley and some people began to realize that behind all this was someone omnipotent with unknown goals. Contents: 1.
