On the world of Rieze Maxia, humans, monsters, and spirits coexist. Humans are able to produce mana from internal organs known as mana lobes, and cast spirit artes by channeling that mana to spirits. Though the world is composed of two opposing nations, Rashugal and Auj Oule, it has long been at peace. One day, a medical student named Jude meets a woman named Milla claiming to be Maxwell, the Lord of Spirits, in a military research installation. There, they discover a weapon called the Lance of Kresnik, which consumes vast quantities of mana. The weapon was built using spyrix technology, which consumes the lives of spirits to cast magic. As they have seen the secret weapon, a warrant is put out for their arrest. While fleeing the installation, the pair are saved by a self-styled mercenary named Alvin. Thus begins their adventure to uncover the secrets of their world, joined by Jude's childhood friend Leia, a persecuted girl named Elize, and the butler of a noble family, Rowen.
