SYNOPSIS

In 2150, a group of heroines has to defend themselves against a horde of monsters. The weapons they carry won't be enough to defend against the relentless enemy invasions.

Therefore, to defend themselves, they'll have to use the universal constructor technology that will give them vital tools.

But, the generator won't work as magic... The heroines will have to feed the device with the carcasses of the monsters they defeat to use as raw materials.

How long will they survive in this hostile environment?

Anna, Rachel, Susie, Fiona and Mary will have to cooperate to face adversity and reach further in this fight against evil...
