When humanity was subjugated by enigmatic adversaries called the Celestial Hosts, five prodigious sorcerers united to vanquish them. Fearing their return, the most potent of these mages—known as the Magia Vander—constructed a protective dome and an accompanying tower to seal them away. From that day forward, each generation"s five mightiest mages are charged with guarding the dome from the summit of the Wizard's Tower.
The dome, etched with runic sigils, keeps the Celestial Hosts dormant. The tower rises above the city"s skyline as a sentinel. Childhood companions Will Serfort and Elfaria Albis Serfort vowed to reach the tower"s apex together. Yet now, as a sixth‑year scholar at Regarden Magic Academy, Will"s prospects seem grim. While Elfaria earned a place among the Magia Vander five years earlier through unrivaled power, Will possesses no spell‑casting talent, earning scorn from teachers and peers alike.
Will"s lack of magic marks him as an outsider, he trains hard. Nevertheless, endowed with an extraordinary physique, Will can defeat labyrinthine beasts and outmaneuver seasoned spellcasters using only his sword. Elfaria mentors him quietly, hoping his resolve will someday match hers. Determined to ascend the Wizard's Tower at any price, Will refuses to allow anyone or anything from breaking his pledge to Elfaria.
