For some time, Noriko Tachiki has dreamed of a beautiful fantasy land, although her friends believe it is merely her imagination. One day, while on her way home, Noriko encounters a bomb disguised as a paper bag that explodes directly in front of her. Instead of dying, however, she is transported to a mysterious forest filled with strange plants and creatures. As she starts navigating through the woods, Noriko is suddenly attacked by a giant, worm-like monster. Fortunately, she is rescued by Izark Kia Tarj, a swordsman who does not speak her language. Lacking the strength to survive on her own, Noriko decides to follow her stoic savior, seizing the opportunity to learn the foreign land's language and become more useful to Izark. Unbeknownst to her, Noriko is a crucial piece of an ancient prophecy. She is "The Awakening"—a being destined to unleash the greatest evil known as the "Sky Demon." With influential people plotting to capture Noriko for her supposed powers, both she and Izark must fend for themselves and overcome a future laced with chaos.
