A notorious Exodus specialist and a formidable combatant who has earned the nickname &quot;Black Southern Cross&quot;, we are first introduced to Gain Bijou as he is taken into custody inside the Siberian Domepolis. Gain's mission in the dome is to oversee a mass Exodus from the city by those wishing to flee the tyrannical oppression of the government in order to start their lives anew. With an appointment to keep, Gain makes his escape from prison, opting to take Gainer with him since the Exodus is about to start and the city's attention is focused on the big festival and popular idol singer Meeya Laujin. After stealing an Overman, which he has Gainer pilot, as well as taking the daughter of the Duke who controls the city hostage, Gain takes to piloting his Gotchko and demonstrates his formidable skills on the battlefield against the defending security patrols of the Siberian Railway. 

In the distant future, mankind is forced to live in domed cities called Domepolis after an environmental cataclysm. These cities are maintained and supplied by private corporations, but at what cost to the inhabitants living within them? In a Siberian Domepolis, virtual game champion Gainer Sanga is arrested on suspicion of Exodus, an unauthorized venture beyond the dome walls and strictly prohibited by the government. 
 
In prison, he meets Gain Bijou, a mercenary bent on escaping and together the two will steal a mysterious Overman out of Duke Medaiyu's mansion. Fighting back the Siberian Railway Patrol forces, they both lead a massive Exodus out of the city to the east land Yapan, where their ancestors are originally from.

In the distant future, in a distant corner of Siberia, people live in domed cities called Domepolises. These are the primary human living spaces on Earth, which became uninhabitable years ago from environmental destruction. Now, parts of the Earth are becoming habitable again. Large portions of the Domepolises are breaking off to escape the powers that control the domes and trade. 
 
Gainer Sanga, video game champ on his 200th victory, becomes an unwilling helper in his hometown's Exodus when he is wrongfully arrested by the Siberian Railway. He pilots a giant mecha which he dubs 'King Gainer' after his own video game handle. He is challenged to fight other Overmen as Yapan tries to escape across Siberia.
