Max Berger is a lonely teenage boy with no future. Or past. His life in Helpren Municipal Orphanage is a never-ending cycle of hardship, amnesia, bullying, and recurring nightmares about a mysterious, beautiful girl.
One fateful night, his world is turned upside down when he saves an enchanting moon spirit girl battling a winged lizard warrior in the sky. It’s the girl from his dreams, and reluctantly, Max agrees to safeguard her precious magical Orb, a decision he soon regrets.
It wasn’t supposed to wake up for a human, but as luck would have it, the orb wakes up for him just as his dream of finding a family comes true. Immensely powerful and mischievous, the orb drags Max and his new oddball foster siblings into a treacherous landscape populated by moon-worshipping cults, ancient tales of forbidden love, flying lizard warriors, a wicked demoness called The Destroyer, and sinister shadow spirits.
Ultimately, he learns that he must unravel the truth of his own past to save the future for everyone and that the bonds forged in the face of danger may be the strongest of all.
