【Synopsis】
In an era where the thriving scientific technology declines, and a new energy known as "magic power" takes over. Humanity has created a forbidden bioweapon, the "Gear". The Gears that were born eventually rebelled against humanity. The survival war, later called the Holy War, barely ended in humanity's favor, but the sacrifice was huge, and even after a decade since its end, the wounds of the people's hearts have not fully healed. Sin Kiske, a child born between a human and a Gear, was on his way to his parents Ky and Dizzy's wedding. It was a forbidden wedding between a human and a Gear. A ceremony that was realized over a long period of time, even in a peaceful world. Many emotions intertwined, but the wedding was wrapped in blessings. Suddenly, a mysterious girl appears - a child of fate inheriting the blood of Gears. And a mysterious girl who hates Gears. Their encounter would bring a shockwave to the world.
