Since the day his family perished in an explosion, Mirai Kakehashi has endured a life steeped in pain and sorrow. Each day he suffers mistreatment from the relatives who adopted him. As his suffering gradually erodes his will to live, he is eventually driven to the edge. Ready to abandon everything, he stands upon a cliff and leaps. Yet instead of falling to his death, he slips into a trance where he encounters a winged creature claiming to be his guardian angel. Named Nasse, the angel bestows upon him two priceless gifts and persuades him to keep living.
When Mirai feels the wonder of his newfound powers firsthand, he tastes the freedom that had long been denied him. Equipped with Nasse's blessings, Mirai is thrust into a clash against twelve other contestants, one of whom will be selected as the next deity. In sharp contrast to his desire for self‑termination, Mirai now resolves to do whatever it takes to safeguard the slim chance at joy before it slips away forever. His resolve hardens, and he vows to confront destiny with courage, ensuring that the hope he now holds will not be extinguished by fate's cruel hand.
