The settlements on the surface, known as "Nests," were scattered all over the world. However, to carry out the necessary operations in these Nests, an energy resource called "AO Crystals" was required. Consequently, the adventurers, known as "Drifters," had to constantly face the persistent threat of "Enders" and extract the AO Crystals through mining.
One of the nests was known as "Rock Town," where Drifters would congregate. Constantly interacting with them, a young boy named Kanata harbored ambitions of becoming a Drifter himself.
On a fateful day, Kanata embarked on an exploration expedition alongside a Drifter named Tokio. It was during this mission that they stumbled upon a breathtaking slumbering being called Noir, referred to as a "Magus." The encounter between Kanata and Noir set in motion a captivating tale of destiny.
