Everybody knows the story. Seven Red Suns sent 07 to deliver a golden pearl with instructions on how to circumvent the self destruction taboo. Then 07 came again, returning with a message ripped from their chest. Five Pebbles got the rot and the iterators withered away in the harsh and eternal dark winter.

This is the story of 04, alternative name: The Scholar
