Velvet Crowe grows up peacefully in the village of Rigbarth alongside her brother Laphicet under the guardianship of their mentor, Artorius Collbrande.
During a mission to uncover corrupted Malakhim in the village of Siegrain, Velvet is infected and turns into a Therion, leading to tragic events including the death of her brother Laphicet at the hands of Artorius.
Velvet awakens as a daemon, losing her humanity but gaining powerful abilities as she begins her quest for revenge against Artorius.
Velvet meets Rokurou, a swordsman with his own vendetta, and Laphicet, whom she revives as a malak, starting to build her party.
Velvet sets out on a journey across the world of Midgand to confront Artorius and challenge the oppressive regime of the Abbey.
Final battle ensues between Velvet and Artorius where harsh truths are revealed about the Abbey and the nature of malakhim and Therions.
Velvet chooses to break the cycle imposed by the Abbey, aiming to create a new future free of the controlling influence over malakhim and humans alike.
