Plot

For centuries, the world had been torn between the Empire, the Mechanical Utopia, and the Nebulis Sovereignty, Paradise for Witches. With no end in sight, it seems the war will continue on for a few more centuries. However, a chance meeting between Iska, the Successor of Black Steel, and Alice, the Ice Calamity Witch, changes history. The Successor of Black Steel is a peace-loving war nut who only knows how to fight. However, he wishes to end the war with the twin swords, white and black, he had inherited from his master. The Ice Calamity Witch wants to destroy the Empire and unite the world under the banner of the Nebulis Sovereignty.

The ideals of a young man and a young woman collide as they try to change the world in their own special ways.
