When these two twisted souls meet, the story begins. “Witch”– The only unknown entity remaining on a continent where magical beasts and magic have been lost. Zig, a mercenary, sets out to defeat a being feared since ancient times. After a fierce battle, he narrowly won, but at the same time, his purpose in killing the witch was lost. As he was about to leave without finishing her off, the witch approached him with a request. The mercenary’s desire was to live without being pursued by anyone. After much deliberation, he decided to accept the request. Feeling that it would be difficult to survive on this continent, where witches are strongly shunned, he decided to travel to another continent whose existence had long been known but which had only recently become accessible.
