In the present, the society is divided into three castes - the ruling Kkoloss, the peasant Eruntu and the Skaa. The Skaa are slaves, who were punished by the god Hess for siding with the Demon King and turned near-mindless. While the Skaa and the Eruntu toil on the dry, desolate mainland, the Kkoloss houses, led by Kings, compete with each other in military battles called Games for prestige and the favour of their ruler, the supernatural Emperor, on the verdant Holy Island, Shakall Hess.
Devin is an average Eruntu who seeks to become a Guard of house Sserin, but to do so, he must come at least fourth in an annual race organized by the Guards. Each man can attempt the race three years in a row. The first two years, Devin fails, and is instead sent to work in the orchards his village is famous for. Over time, he comes to appreciate the work, and grows unwilling to join the Guard. However, though he fails his third race, the Kkoloss in charge decides to take all of the boys, him included. As it turns out, all villages have been drafted like this, and, in a further break from the tradition, they don't swear the Oath that would give them the Sserin Kkell power, superhuman strength.
On the Holy Island, Prince Vevinn Vas Kkeris, son of the Kkeris King, contemplates the his conflict with the Sserin. Despite Sserin being known as dangerous opponents, he has been winning for the past decade, which greatly worries him. However, before he can contemplate that, he's distracted by his beloved, free-spirited Siri, whose power makes others healthy as long as she touches them. Siri is a handmaid to Vvenna, her best friend, who's to marry the Emperor, the holy and elusive leader of the Kkoloss.

* The way a weaker version of a Kkell Power can be gifted to Eruntu by the Kkoloss is similar to how [[Gifter]] [[Epic]]s can grant a fraction of their power to non-Epics.
