Alice, an asocial and crafty young woman who attended the magic school Umbra Academy in the Kingdom of Elbrastion, began to notice something strange happening: people are getting downright furious over the most tiny and insignificant things. No one actually really knows why, but people are extremely antsy and it's worsening with every passing day. A mystical force known as Depravity—a darkness created by the negative emotions of living beings—is to blame for the behavior of people, and it is threatening the peace and safety of the 8 nations of the planet, Fairylyl. Alice and her future companions, the Ephemerals, are legendary warriors who are destined to save the universe by restoring the balance of light and darkness and bringing order to the scattered worlds that are under siege by the dark forces.
