Set in a world with two moons, humanity lives under the rule of powerful angels and the influence of a dominant religion known as Antiquolism. In the Holy Kingdom of Braith, a gardener named Awin Gardner lives in a rural village and yearns for a peaceful life. While attempting to defeat a monster known as the "Demon of Karna", he instead awakens a demon woman named Vide, who had been sealed for a thousand years. Vide declares her intention to kill the angels who rule the world and seeks to make Awin her wielder.
At first Awin refuses, but when knights from the kingdom attack his village and threaten the people he cares about, he forms a contract with Vide in order to protect them. Vide transforms into a powerful demonic weapon that Awin can wield, allowing him to fight against the forces in his way.
