When Izdaha Saya receives a sponsor letter to compete in a high-stakes fighting tournament, she jumps at the chance. But the tournament is more than just a test of skill and bravery. It is a battleground for corporate greed, corruption, and the future of the three desert nations.

As Saya and her fellow fighters converge in a notorious company 'Al-Wa,' she soon discovers that the competition has been corrupted by those seeking to profit from its brutal spectacle. Some are motivated by greed, while others seek revenge against the system that has oppressed them.

Against this backdrop of violence and avarice, a girl, a boy from the slums, and a noble of an eastern kingdom struggle to find meaning in a world that seems determined to crush their ideals. Here in a small tale of many, they search for the courage to fight for their principles.
