The Empire of Corpses

屍者の帝国

In 19th century Europe, the dead walk among the living. Through revolutionary technology known as "Frankensteins," human corpses are reanimated as soulless laborers, fueling industrial progress across the continent. John Watson, a London medical student, is haunted by the death of his friend Friday and dreams of restoring a true soul to the reanimated.

Recruited as a government agent, Watson is tasked with a secret mission: to find the lost notes of the vanished Doctor Victor Frankenstein, who is rumored to have achieved the impossible. As Watson delves deeper into a shadowy world of espionage and forbidden science, he must confront the grim realities of the corpse trade and the steep personal cost of his quest for knowledge.
