Prologue of "Cloud Atlas", a movie released in 2012, drawn by SIU, creator of "Tower of God".
For thousands of years, twelve colossal "CloudInsects" have walked the Earth, each surrounded by a mysterious "CloudInsect Field." Within these fields, all electronic devices cease to function, adding to the enigma.

Despite humanity's continuous fascination and attempts to study the CloudInsects, progress remains hindered by the presence of the CloudInsect Fields, leaving even the most advanced technologies powerless to unlock their secrets.
