The earth is covered by black forests, and humans can only survive on a small amount of land protected by barriers. Humans invaded by pathogens will burn as long as they get close to natural fire, and the only fire that can be used safely can only be collected by hunting the black monster "Elamite" that lives deep in the black forest.

The story revolves around an 11-year-old girl named Touko who grew up in a village and a 15-year-old boy named Kirei who lives in the capital.
