Synopsis:

In the realm of Staccato, a pervasive sense of unease settles as demonic incursions plague the land. The weakening of a protective barrier, maintained for decades by Queen Horn of Sforzando, has unleashed chaos upon the populace and threatens to shatter the delicate balance between worlds. As the barrier falters, the malevolent Hell King Bass seeks to exploit the vulnerability, aiming to liberate Kestra, a being of immense power held captive within the human realm. The narrative follows the escalating conflict as individuals grapple with the consequences of this encroaching darkness, exploring themes of sacrifice, responsibility, and the struggle to preserve fragile peace against overwhelming forces. The series depicts a world on the brink, where the fate of humanity hinges on the strength of a fading guardian and the desperate ambitions of a powerful entity yearning for release.
