Story Explained

The Endless Bloodshed For Power

Within the lands of Aionios, two Nations, Keves and Agnus, fight each other in a bloody war for the sake of filling one own's flame clock.

As seen in the Direct trailer, the energy of those who are killed in battle are collected and turned into energy, as one of the antagonists is seen to be powered by absorbing the soldiers around him.

Soldiers Are Mass Produced

Based on what was revealed in the trailer, the soldiers fighting for their country are artificially made and mass-produced to fight in the war as one of the antagonists the party fights claims that they could always grow plenty of them.

Soldiers Only Have a 10-Year Lifespan

Another major plot point that the story has is the fact that our characters have a lifespan of only 10 years. Within those years, they learn nothing but to fight continuously for their country.

It is also revealed in the trailer that Mio only has 3 months left to live, giving the plot a sense of urgency.

Ouroboros Can Destroy the World

It is mentioned in the trailer that, if left unchecked, Ouroboros, a fusion between two people, can lead the world into ruin. It's clearly a major plot point in the story, seeing as our characters learn how to fuse with each other to use the Ouroboros Form.

We can assume that because of their Fusion, this has caused the antagonist to chase after them.
