Could you live with yourself, or would you just lay down and wallow in self pity, or would you stop at nothing to make things right again? Cutless Guardianblade is a young man with naive and idealistic views of the world but when his quest to make the world a better place goes horribly wrong he'll have to plunge himself into the very darkness he was trying to snuff out to gain the power he will need to prevent the sister worlds from spiraling into chaos and their inevitable demise. Join Cutless and his allies as their epic story begins; follow them from their humble beginnings as their destinies speed toward one another into a shared fate. Cutless is not alone, however.

The megalomaniac whose influence stretches across the sister worlds. A set of rival young women whose circumstances thrust them together and dictate that they be friends and work together to survive when they would have never done so, while warring for the affection of a mutual love interest. A noble teacher with a sorrowful past that finally sees what he must do in order to atone for the sins he has committed. A coldblooded killer who also wishes to atone for the actions of his past, but will his bloodlust prove stronger than his conscience?
