The great beasts created the land, but the humans stole it. Angered, the beasts began eating humans, and humans called upon the gods to fight them. During the Age of the Sword, humans hunt giant beasts for profit. One such hunter, Jiro, encounters Kumi and saves her from her captors and, as rumors spread regarding humanity and a mysterious experiment, they seek to discover the world's secrets together.
Low on supplies and with their escape route cut off, the three companions seek shelter in a nearby village. There, they meet a youth who dreams of becoming a Paladin.
Jiro underestimates a mysterious traveler and loses his spear in a game of chance. She has an agenda, but what interest could she have with a Cleric and a Paladin?
Jiro has a violent history with the people of the mountains. When the group finds themselves in their village, the inhabitants challenge the Paladin to a test of strength.
Kumi dreads there's a connection between her and the red-eyed beasts. And when her friends try to help her, they may all end up with more questions than answers.
Jiro and his friends WILL put an end to the Imperial experiments. However, they are not the only ones with the conviction to do what must be done. Conflict is inevitable.
Kumi and the others launch an assault on the laboratory to save the prototypes. However, Mezami hasn't come this far just to see his ambitions go down in flames.
