During a celebration commemorating one year since the end of the century-long Yaksa War, Emas, the princess of the floating queendom of Ang Kha Sa, is kidnapped by a mysterious organisation and taken to Underland, the land-level region of Tanaraya. After escaping her captors, she meets orphaned sisters Mera and Puti, who save her from a beast attack.

Throughout their adventures, Emas learns that while Underland boasts beautiful landscapes and diversity, it suffers from unpredictable weather changes and frequent natural disasters. Mera and Puti strongly believe these are caused by the annihilation of the mythical Yaksa giants, by the Yaksa Slayer, ironically celebrated as the hero who ended the war.

Emas has to find a way back home, with the organisation still on her back and a dark secret she’s been keeping from her two new best friends…

…that she is the Yaksa Slayer.
