Zed is a 15-year-old boy who lives in a place called "Calm". He is frustrated by his current situation in life and feels that somewhere out there is a place where he can live more fully. One day, at the invitation of a mysterious wind, Zed dives into a space-time crevasse (portal), seeking the "answer" that might be there. Riding on the wind, he gets transported to a war-torn world where warring magic users called "Shard Casters" fight endlessly with each other, using magical crystals called "Shards".
