In a world where magicians enchant bullets to perform magic—such as summoning mighty beasts—there once existed a witch so formidable that she dared to challenge the gods, and for that, she was cursed.

When he came of age, he set out on a journey and found the woman who had saved his life... or so he thought. She is not the idealized figure he remembered; she is selfish, rude, arrogant, and significantly shorter. Yet, in moments when she feels Zero's love and self-sacrifice for her, she can unleash incredible power. Thus, the two embark together to discover a cure and uncover why the gods bothered to curse her at all.
