DESCRIPTION
Jane Atteras brings a severed head to Dr. Maels. It speaks of a factory in Antarctica. The birthplace of humanity. Or what they think is humanity. Before long, a secret expedition is underway-- a pilgrimage, if you will, to the homeland. Only, more powerful nations have caught wind and are setting sail. What will kill them first? Their fellow humans, the cold, or something much worse?

80/100It's a manga with a nice amount of depth and amazing art style.Continue on AniListThe manga was WAYYY better than I expected. The only reason I even picked it up in the first place was because of some random Instagram reel I saw, and I wasn’t really expecting much going into it. I kinda just thought it would be another one of those quick ones that you forget about right after, but it actually surprised me a lot. I will be keeping up with this and I recommend that everyone else to do the same.
I really like the goal of figuring out where "humanity" started, as well as the adventure to antarctica to find the factory where all the robots that rule the world were created. It's such a unique idea. The pacing is very good and helps keep the reader hooked. That's not all, the art style is amazing, and it's one of the main reasons I even picked the manga or manwha (can't remember the difference lol). I also like how the government is a big part of it, and the corruption within the government, with the noblemen and the king, just adds the needed depth. As well, the kingdom rivalries throw in more characters than the story needed. like the guy in the prison cell that was locked away for "lying."
The main character, Edgar Maels, and the other main character major ateras. (I think I can't remember, to be honest) They are a very good team and cool characters. I love how major ateras gave her own voice speaker thingy just so they could figure out what the head in the box found in antarctica as well as fighting the corrupt officer to retrieve the circle device. edgar maels is another cool character doing whatever he can to find his "god" or "creator." His character is a bit weird since he is a corrupt doctor with his creepy basement being filled with illegal equipment that he uses on victims just to find his "god" or "creator." edgar gave up his role as a small village doctor to find out what is in the factory over in antarctica.
I do have to say that I dislike some parts, for example, during the first chapter major ateras pulls out he speaker and rips some of her skin, but once the doctor edgar maels puts it all back, she somehow has all her skin back to normal, like nothing ever happened. It's not the biggest issue, but I wish that there were an explanation for that. I'm not too upset since the manga or manwha is so early into its production.
I also think the world building has a lot of potential going forward, especially with how much is still unknown about the robots and the start of "humanity". There are still so much unanswered stuff, and that makes me even more interested in continuing the story and seeing how everything connects later on.
Anyways, I recommend picking up this manga or manwha since it's got a wayyy more appealing story than I first expected, and since it's got only 10 chapters as of writing this review, you might as well give it a shot. I give this manga or manwha an 8 out of 10
