In a world known as Granterra, there is a main religion known as Esaniality. When the great deity Esanial created Granterra, he sent to Earth a being of his own creation, Ceindra. She was the first human to exist on Granterra, and she had to conquer the forces of evil in order to earn her wings. However, she was snatched away by Ozigorien, the satanic figure who destroyed her upon taking her. However, upon Ceindra's death, she sent out her soul, and created beings like herself for her soul to manifest in. Thus started the race of Granterrans. However, some chose not to admire what Ceindra did for them, so they would sin and be sent to Ozigorien, just like she was.

Several hundred years later, the struggle between Falys (heaven) and Vilkar (hell) is at a stalemate. Whilst Ozigorien captured two girls and one man to serve as minions, Esanial blessed a sick woman with his son. 16 years into the son's life, Ozigorien has planned for a capture of Falys. He wanted to succeed in this by making people sympathise with their cause, but with Alzakkya's behaviour, people are turned away. However, if they were to meet Maya and Lucia, they would be fine, and Ozigorien would've succeeded. Turns out Tobias was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Let's go back, shall we...

Tobias is a knight in training, currently at Grade 2. His friends Ycranvo and Plasin are at Grade 3 and 6 respectively. Upon reaching and completing Grade 7, they would then choose to serve as Knights, or then complete more training to serve as High Knights. High Knights are chosen only out of a few select members in the graduates, and those who successfully complete the training serve for a kingdom where they get paid in plenty for their duties.

There is a major difference though. Tobias is almost deaf, only able to hear the faintest things (like Alzakkya's yelling, but we'll get to that later). A mage and family friend, known as Artemis, stays near Tobias in order to send messages to his brain and hear what people are saying to the best of his knowledge. Of course, whenever he is separated from Artemis, his hearing problem impedes him greatly. To combat this, Artemis created a few small olive-coloured cakes. If he ate one, he would be able to hear half as clearly for 30 minutes. Despite this, Artemis doesn't have enough magic to create any more cakes, so he tells Tobias to save the cakes for when they are needed.

One night, on duty with Ycranvo, Tobias is separated from him and, in turn, comes across a girl who appeared to be injured and is almost ready to climb down a cliff. Being naive, he saves her with little problem, not even knowing who it was. The girl doesn't say anything except that he owes her. She then attempts to climb back down, but Tobias pulls her back up. Being tired of his games, the girl tackles him to the ground, covers his eyes, and then successfully gets down the cliff. When he gets up and looks, the girl disappeared. He didn't want to climb down and check, but upon finding him, Ycranvo and Artemis are surprised when they deduce it was Alzakkya, well known rogue. Being able to notice Alzakkya's lips moving, Tobias explains that he thought he read "You owe me greatly."

The next morning, Tobias wakes to find that Alzakkya snuck in and stole his cakes. He then saw her standing outside, dangling the cakes and teasing him. The one thing he was worried about was his father seeing him with Alzakkya, and that he was associating with a demon. Thankfully, as his father opened the door to look what was going on, Alzakkya sped off and hid, embarrassing Tobias enough. She told him that she didn't want his father to see, but only said that she was being gracious. He heard, thanks to the cakes that Alzakkya relinquished when she ran off.

After several long days of popping up and making Tobias work for her, Alzakkya disappears unexpectedly into Vilkar, and expects Tobias to follow her. Then, he meets Lucia and Maya, the latter of which he starts to gain affections towards. Of course, putting his knightly duties before his love life, he desperately attempts to get out, but as Alzakkya tries to grab his hand and pull him in, the symbol of Vilkar appears on his hand. With that, he was teleported back into the world of Granterra.

Noticing Tobias' withdrawal, his parents ask Artemis to try and heal him, but Artemis tells them he is suffering psychological trauma. Sensing that Tobias was "turning evil", he realised that it was too much for him, so he took Tobias to Mnestral, where Princess Ceindra resides. Ceindra got her name from the human created before by Esanial, and she is currently engaged to the Prince of Tulgreinor. Not wanting him, Ceindra wanted to make him jealous by falling in love with Tobias and his somewhat bad demeanor. Artemis requested that Wihtky, the castle's cleric, try to cleanse him. Even with her power, young Wihtky fails. She explains that Ozigorien has almost claimed him, and that they need to try and remove his powers or destroy him. The problem was that they needed to convince the three sinners as well.

There are also other characters they meet, like Quelsie, Esanial's son, Zairia, Virthinia's idol, and Gortan, a local in Mnestral who was said to have been cursed by Ozigorien due to his ugly exterior, but in reality was born with a disorder. There are also humourous and romantic sub-plots, for example, Ceindra and the PoT's dysfunctional relationship.
