In a conflict against four immensely powerful races—angels, demons, undead, and humanoid beasts—humanity could only survive thanks to its hero Sid, who vanquished the champions of the other races and sealed their armies within four pyramids. In an era where Sid's deeds have faded into legend, Kai Sakura Vento is one of many conscripts assigned to watch over the pyramids, fearing that these ancient enemies might break free. During a quiet day spent with his friend Jeanne E. Anise, the world is suddenly "overwritten," throwing Kai into an alternate reality where humanity has been nearly wiped out by demons and forced into hiding. Even worse, his own existence has been erased from this world; all his acquaintances, including Jeanne—who now leads the local resistance in this reality—have no memory of him. While investigating the remnants of his former world, Kai encounters Rinne, a mysterious young woman imprisoned within a pyramid. After mysteriously inheriting Sid's legendary sword Codeholder, Kai manages to free Rinne from her captivity. Determined to set this reality right, Kai teams up with Rinne and Jeanne to liberate humanity from demonic control. But if the brave soldier hopes to return to his original world, he must first uncover the reason behind the strange alteration of reality.
