Plot[edit]
Set in a post-apocalyptic world dominated by numbers, every human being has their
worth measured by a special "Count" imprinted somewhere on their bodies, which
defines any number related to an important aspect of their lives. However, if this
Count decreases to 0, the person will be dragged down into "the abyss", and is said to
be dead for all eternity.

For young Hina, her Count corresponds to how many hundreds of kilometers she has
walked. Ever since her mother was dragged into the abyss, she has been searching for
the Legendary Ace from her mother's last wish for the last five years. Hina's grueling
journey takes a sudden turn when she meets a strange masked knight known as Licht
Bach with a negative-numbered Count.
