Set in the post-apocalyptic world of Alcia, humanity is governed by the "Counts"—a numerical value branded onto each person's body representing a specific life milestone, such as kilometers walked, compliments received, or days endured. When a person’s Count drops to zero, they are dragged down into the abyss by gravitational forces in an event known as being "Abyssed."The story follows Hina, a gentle young woman whose mother was dragged into the abyss five years prior. Before vanishing, her mother tasked her with finding the legendary Red Baron, one of the aces from the devastating Waste War centuries ago. During her relentless search, Hina meets Licht Bach, a perverted, masked swordsman whose Count represents the number of women who have rejected him. Despite his comedic and cowardly facade, Hina discovers that Licht is secretly the legendary ace she seeks, bearing a staggering Count of 570,000 for killing enemies.Licht operates under a strict moral code: he refuses to take human life, even when forced to fight military enforcers of the Alcia nation. As the narrative unfolds, they encounter Jail Murdoch, a principled military lieutenant obsessed with justice and the laws of the Counts, who eventually joins forces with Licht after recognizing the corruption within his own government.
