Plot
In the world of Ars, humans and demihuman tribes (Hornarians, Mountaineers, Therianthropes, Marshlings, and Averians) lead a decades-long war against giant beasts that ravage the lands and feed on their resources. Those tasked with fighting them are champions called Paladins, who utilize the destructive power of Clerics: beings gifted with uncontrollable magical powers that can be channeled into a weapon. While mourning the death of his war partner Toka, former Paladin Jiro crosses paths with Kumi, a young woman who has just awakened her magical powers as a Cleric. After the pair form a contract to save the city from a giant beast attack, Jiro learns that Kumi has escaped a laboratory and is being hunted by the underlings of Mezami, the head of the research facility. Reluctantly agreeing to help Kumi flee from her pursuers, Jiro starts traveling with his new partner and her friend Myaa, a young girl who talks like a cat. As the unlikely trio wanders the Arsian lands, top officials begin setting their plans into motion—and the group of adventurers soon discover that men are to be feared more than monsters. ==Characters==
