Synopsis:

Set within the technologically and magically intertwined Wahrheit Empire, *Magatsu Wahrheit: Zuerst* explores the growing unease surrounding the reappearance of a legendary catastrophe called "the light." The narrative centers on Innumael Grauer, a transporter striving to support his sister amidst the Empire's increasingly tight control over weaponry. His routine is disrupted when he unknowingly carries a package containing contraband artillery, leading to accusations of smuggling and the threat of execution.

Simultaneously, newly enlisted soldier Leocadio Wöhler is tasked with tracking down the criminal organization known as Headkeeper, implicated in illegal arms trafficking. These two individuals find themselves unexpectedly entangled in a web of intrigue that stretches across the Empire. Their intertwined fates trigger unforeseen consequences, forcing them to confront the Empire’s hidden vulnerabilities and potentially reshaping its future. The series examines themes of loyalty, responsibility, and the blurred lines between order and rebellion within a society grappling with impending chaos.
