In the year 2030, humans discovered the Arq Shard; the most valuable mineral and the only energy source on Earth. Years after the Great Decline, where major cities battled for the possession of the shards and destroyed most of the Earth, only one city stood at the top; the city called “Paradise”. They became the center of trade and controlled every resource, especially the mining and distribution of the shards.

Oliver Leigh, a 17-year-old orphan and a miner of the LX Mining Company, has dedicated the past two years to escaping from his contract to find his lost, handicapped, older brother, Van. After a series of events, he found himself caught in the middle of finding out the secret of the shards and at the same time, saving what remains of Earth.
