Long ago, in a world where Culdcept was scattered due to a dispute among the gods…

The People of the Landmass and the People of the Deep Lake coexist in peace. Their continent is called Bavrashka. It’s the land created by the gods. However, within the faith that governs the People of the Deep Lake, a certain faction watches from the shadows with growing suspicion. They are secretly plotting the resurrection of a sealed god…

The protagonist, who lives on the surface, is a student at Royal Cept Academy, an academy that trains so-called “Cepter”. There, he spends his days working hard with his classmates to develop his abilities. One day, the protagonist receives news that a port town has been attacked and learns that the evil forces of the pagan sect have begun to move. Soon after, in a battle that threatens the entire world, he awakens to his true power as a Cepter.
