It’s a time of warfare where relentless battles continue between human and demi-human tribes like the Ash
Monkeys (Macaque) and pig people (Ogres) invading human lands.
Kai, a boy from the village of Rag, spends his days immersed in battle to protect his village.Amidst the harsh battles enforced by those possessing immense power known as “guardian bearers,” and as his
comrades fall one by one, Kai suddenly recalls memories he shouldn’t have experienced – memories of a world
