Why did Emily go missing? What is going on in this world? Why does she suddenly have these strange abilities? A profound story of regeneration and self-discovery.

Storyline

J.J scours Memoria Island to find her best friend, who has gone missing during a camping trip. However, this island was like a nightmare: no matter how many times she sustains fatal injury, she can’t die, and instead is somehow able to revive herself back to normal. J.J ventures into the depth of the island as she drags her mutilated body along, enduring the pain. In order to save her best friend, she puts her own body and life on the line, reviving infinitely, as she presses forward.
