The world known as the Junkyard exists as a barren wasteland ruled by the karmic law of survival of the fittest, inhabited by humans who have lost their past memories and who are cursed to transform into demons when their ire reaches a peak.
A group of people who awaken the power to transform into demons and unite under a single leader, forming the Embryon tribe, seeking to survive and climb the hierarchical social structure of the Junkyard.
Sera becomes the leader of Embryon and leads the tribe in conflicts against other demon tribes to assert control over territory and resources in the Junkyard.
Members of Embryon, including the protagonist Serph, discover their cursed ability to become demons by feeding on Karmic Energy when they transform after their human form's ire reaches a breaking point.
The protagonist Serph fully awakens his transformation ability, becoming a powerful demon and strengthening his resolve to lead Embryon.
Embryon continues fighting and defeating other tribes such as the Dagda, Kisara, and Vega, expanding their influence and uncovering more about their origins and the world's mystery.
Embryon confronts the destructive god Atma, who seeks to annihilate the world and all its inhabitants as punishment for their sins.
The members of Embryon learn that their world is a post-apocalyptic purgatorial realm designed to judge humanity's sins with the guidance of a higher entity.
Serph and his companions make the final decision that determines the fate of humanity — whether to accept redemption and return to the real world or be annihilated by Atma.
