Jindo centers on the life of a man called Massaki. Massaki is faced with the realization and understanding that the world he lives in is a facsimile of what it has become and not what it was meant to be.
Jindo follows the lives of the people who have been affected by the sick society that has risen from the ashes of the old world. At a time of great crisis, the world found the teachings of a young man named Adam. Adam taught us of the perils of war and of the threat of our weapons as we fight and blame each other for our own sins. Mankind is in peril from social diseases and mental sickness, as millions die by the month. However, as the truth of his words began to take hold, and as the world changed with his teachings, we found ourselves facing a new peril. It was found in those people who refused his teachings as predicated their desires upon their ambitions. In their world, lives are not important. The world isn’t built upon the shoulders of men, but upon our achievements. Our legacy is our contribution to society and the only contribution that counted came with a very high price tag. The richer one is, the better. And so there became a great division among men, as we find the have nots, the have mores, and finally, the have everything. The poor are now viewed as simple vermin, responsible for the spread of disease and genetic weakness. In order to contain them, massive buildings called Chubu Towers were built, were only the rich can regularly taste the fresh air of outside world. The poor are forced to live in Undercities, permaconcrete structures that contain Habitation Containers that are converted into housing, and small, poor stores from which provisions might be bought. Humanity is dying and there is very little anyone can do about it.
In JINDO - The hunter, Book One of DRAGON Series, we learn more about the intolerant world, as a sanctioned government Task Force, proposed for terrorist defence, discreetly enters and executes an innocent man and his family.
