Azil, a graduate student at Sumeru Akademiya, is facing a major crisis in his studies and career. If he doesn't publish papers and reports approved by the Akademiya soon, he'll be expelled. If that happens, he won't be able to send money home to repay his foster mother for raising him. In the end, he'll have no choice but to return to his hometown of Aaru Village and be cared for for the rest of his life by his childhood friend Candace, who carries a shield and spear?! No matter how you look at it, that's absolutely not what he wants!!!
Unwilling to give up, Azil decides to put himself at risk. With the help of the kind Lord Sangemah Bay, he heads for a mysterious ruin on the desert frontier. But Azil doesn't know that an ancient empire on the other side of the sandstorm is waiting for his return.
