In a world of magic high concentrations of mana can form an Abyss, a portal through which demons enter from the Void. Noel Stollen is present when an Abyss opens in his hometown, allowing a Lord demon to enter. His grandfather Brandon the Overdeath, a retired Seeker who destroys demons and closes Abyss portals, banishes the Lord but is fatally wounded. Before he dies, Noel promises to become a Seeker more famous than Brandon. Years later Noel has formed a party known as Blue Beyond, comprising the warrior Walter, Tanya the mage and Lloyd the swordsman. Unfortunately, Noel’s innate skill is Talker, a support class that boosts his ally’s abilities through spoken words, but possesses no combat abilities except for a magic pistol. As a lone party it is difficult for them to find work, so Noel suggests using the party’s funds plus his own savings to pay the 20million necessary to become a Clan. This would enable them to take on jobs from the Velnant Empire, assisting Noel in his goal of becoming famous. The others eventually agree, despite the risk of financial ruin. The following morning in the capital city of Etrai Noel and Walter find Lloyd and Tanya have abandoned them.

In his letter Lloyd admits to being in debt from a failed investment, so he and Tanya have run away with the party funds. Walter angrily plans to chase after them but Noel points out it might become a fight to the death. Instead, he and Walter visit a tavern and let if be known they will pay a bounty for the capture of Lloyd and Tanya. As Noel had hoped they are approached by elderly Seekers that spotted Lloyd and Tanya on their way to Carnot Village. Travelling together they and the Seekers catch up to Lloyd and Tanya. Walter, who is notorious for his violently short temper, is horrified as Noel unleashes his sadistic inner personality upon them. Using his voice, Noel paralyses Lloyd and Tanya and compels them to confess the truth; together they actually racked up huge gambling debts and stole the party funds to pay Lloyd’s loan shark. With their confession Noel illegally sells Lloyd and Tanya for 15million to Finnochio Barzini, a slave trader and member of the Lucianos crime syndicate. Noel decides to grow stronger by cultivating a reputation as a ruthless villain. Walter decides not to follow him and quits his job as a Seeker. Noel decides to build a stronger Blue Beyond more suited to his needs.
