In the aftermath of a catastrophic event that ravaged the Kanazawa prefecture 22 years ago, the once-lush landscape has been transformed into a barren, towering terrain known as The Lost Ground. Here, young mercenary Kazuma ekes out a living amidst the harsh environment, using his unique Alter ability to protect himself from the unforgiving terrain. This rare gift allows him to coat his right arm and torso with a metallic alloy, granting him a valuable advantage in his daily struggles. As Kazuma navigates this unforgiving world, he finds himself at odds with HOLY, an organization dedicated to suppressing and capturing individuals with Alter abilities, which they refer to as Native Alter Users. Among HOLY's elite ranks is the enigmatic and formidable Ryuho, whose confrontations with Kazuma spark a fierce and epic rivalry.
