Zeke takes contract work because Shelly, the girl he grew up beside, has an illness whose cure costs more than his sword has earned. A mercenary company will pay enough for the medicine, so he signs on and inherits its fights along with its wages. Yuusaku Komiyama's nine chapter run draws on Capcom's Ixion Saga online game and keeps its distance from the Ixion Saga DT anime built out of the same world.
