Humanity was forced to seek refuge underground after an unprecedented calamity called "Tears of the New Moon" took place. However, after the underground city-state of "Amasia" collapsed, people began venturing back towards the surface, hoping to live there again.
Their settlements on the surface were called "Nests" that were scattered all around the world. However, one needed an energy resource called "AO Crystals" for the necessary operations on the nests. Thus, the adventurers called "Drifters" needed to continuously battle the lingering threat of "Enders" and mine the AO Crystals.
One of these nests was called "Rock Town," which was a place where Drifters would gather. After being in constant contact with them, a boy named Kanata also aspired to become a Drifter.
One day, he went on an exploration mission with a Drifter named Tokio. During this mission, they discovered a beautiful sleeping "Magus" named Noir. Kanata's encounter with Noir caused a tale of destiny to unfold.
