Nana sends Jail, Lynn, Pele and Hina 300 years back in time. They arrive at an unknown institution with technology far superior to the world they are accustomed to, and meet Rihito, a young man Hina is convinced is Licht himself.
Every human inhabiting the world of Alcia is branded by a “Count” or a number written on their body. Depending on how each person lives their life, this Count either goes up or down. For Hina’s mother, her total drops to 0 and she’s pulled into the Abyss, never to be seen again. But her mother’s last words send Hina on a quest to find a legendary hero from the Waste War—the fabled Ace!
