"This world, it's like it spins just for me──"
Mitsuba, the girl who awoke from a long sleep with an uncanny power, didn't find her stepmother too thrilled about her newfound abilities. Thanks to her stepmother's scheming, Mitsuba not only lost her noble title but also ended up enrolling in a military academy.
However, within Mitsuba dwelled hazy memories of a different world and the unwittingly triggered power of a curse.
This is the story of a girl, navigating life with extraordinary abilities, feared by those around her, as she boldly carves her own path in a world filled with unique challenges.
