Four hundred years after the collapse of modern civilization, the world is ruled by the chaos of swords and sorcery. The Dark Rebel Army, which seeks to revive the God of Destruction Anthrasax, continues to expand its power in an attempt to dominate the world, led by the overwhelmingly powerful Four Divine Kings. The Kingdom of Metallicana on the central continent of Metallion is under attack by the Dark Rebel Army, led by sorcerers. To save the kingdom, Tia Noto Yoko, the daughter of the high priest, must make a decision—she must revive the ancient great sorcerer who once sought to rule the world and who is sealed within her childhood friend Lucien Renren. The only thing that can break the seal is the kiss of a virgin. Faced with imminent danger, Yoko presses her lips to Lucien's, and in that moment, a dark and powerful energy fills the air. The strongest, wildest, and most beautiful protagonist, the legendary sorcerer Dark Schneider, has finally been resurrected!
