■Episode 1: "Emerging from the Darkness" (Synopsis)
The soul of a hero who craved deadly duels with opponents stronger than themselves has taken residence in Nia Liston, a noble lady with only a short time left to live. Using the power of "ki" etched into the soul, Nia overpowers her illness and recovers to the point of astonishing those around her with overwhelming combat ability. Because her parents had been appealing to the whole country for a cure through the revolutionary magic imaging technology Magic Vision, she appears on a broadcast to report that she has survived. Becoming an overnight star, Nia begins working as a talent to help promote Magic Vision, the family business.
