It focuses on the story of a bandit, Fultac, and his "military dog" Kilka. A "military dog" is a creature derived from the fusion of a human being and a dog (duh!), which is very loyal to his/her owner; originally used as soldiers, they are now pretty much pets, and the laboratory where they were created serves now as a factory. After finding Kilka, Fultac and her eventually face a bounty hunter mage and his own military dog; while said mage and military dog are killed, Fultac pretty much loses an arm, [[spoiler:and Kilka dies]]. Filled with anger he goes to the laboratory where he was created, facing the scientist/mage who is responsible for everything. [[spoiler:In the process we learn he was among his very first experiment, thrown away as a child to the sewers along with the carcasses of the other victims of the scientist/mage's experiments]]. After burning the place down Fultac kills the other military dogs to free them from their miserable lives, and ends up adopting a little military dog child himself,[[spoiler: who may or may not be free since he didn't performed the ritual of "bonding"]].
