The Northern Patriots, driven into a corner by their inferiority, finally use forbidden technology to overthrow the Southern Patriots. The technique, which transforms humans into deformed soldiers, gives them the power of a god in exchange for their human form. The long warfare was led to peace through the power of this technique.

The "Pseudo-God Soldier," a hero of salvation, was praised as a "god.
Time has passed, and the war is now moving into the past.
Those who became [Pseudo-God Soldiers] in exchange for human form have been transformed into beings feared and despised by the people, who call them only [beasts] because of their excessive power.
Hank, a former commander of the Pseudo-God Soldiers, continued his journey as a "beast hunter," a person who kills Pseudo-God Soldiers, his former comrades-in-arms who have been transformed into "beasts. Shirl], a girl searching for the revenge of her father, who was a Pseudo-God Soldier, meets Hank and decides to travel together with him to learn the meaning of his father's death.
