But money isn't the only thing he received as an inheritance. He also came into a possession of a strange book which acts as a magical portal between worlds. It is through his travels to these new worlds that he has discovered new companions and the love of his life, Alison d'Amandrose, a powerful magic user. Sitting on the grounds of his new estate, Jon senses something is very wrong with Alison and heads to her world. He finds her nearly dead, torn apart by strange demon bugs from the Abyss.

They set off on a quest to find out who sent these demon bugs and why. Along the way they find keys to Alison's past and as Jon's mental powers increase, he is given an important title by Father Ukko himself. Little does Jon realize the disastrous consequences that this may have on his and Alison's future...
