In a post-apocalyptic future where Earth’s surface is uninhabitable, humanity has taken refuge underground. A society driven by survival and exploitation of mysterious energy stones faces challenges as a new generation of survivors, gifted with unique abilities, emerges.

Tobi's life takes a drastic turn when he unwittingly aids a merchant in a dangerous smuggling operation, leading to a fateful encounter with raiders and the awakening of his latent Gift.
