Cyberstella. The year 2222 - 200 years later. The story of our world begins in the 2020s when explorers set their sights on space. Their feelings are a mixture of those that attempt the impossible, and those that want to lead the world to new adventures. The characters wear futuristic yet modest clothing and equipment while embarking on a high-risk journey into the galaxy to chase their endless dreams. Thanks to the advancement of technology, their world has changed. With less room for ambition in a modern developed society, a dire situation is created to fix disparities between people who increasingly control the capital and the unfortunate souls forced into hard labor. Flooded with all kinds of products and manifested in all sorts of diversity, there is no room for uniqueness in a cold, cruel, and plain world. The atmosphere of adventure and being truly individual is disappearing. What will the fate be of those who reject modernism and take a leap of faith into the stars unknown?
