Plot
The protagonist Allen is found unconscious and with amnesia in the city of Celphas by Alicia, leader of the Free Bats resistance group opposing Count Kraniss. Kraniss sealed the city and seeks to eliminate Cepters, who can manipulate magical cards. Allen, a Cepter, fights enemy Cepters and eventually defeats Kraniss. Allen learns that Kraniss sealed the city because most of the world had fallen into a void after the Chief God was abandoned. The holy city of Dafnelion still stands and connects to Celphas. Allen and his allies discover a time portal, travel back, and encounter the brother and sister gods whose fighting destroyed the world. They realize a servant manipulated the gods, defeat the evil god, and change the future to save the world.
