Himiko, the Queen of the Yamatai province in Japan, has had a vision heralding TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt and realized that the only way to face the oncoming darkness is to TakeOverTheWorld and unite the world behind her cause.

There's only one small problem: Himiko is a ''terrible'' military leader and has suffered multiple defeats in her attempts at unifying Japan. After suffering another loss at the hands of Nobunaga Oda, Himiko is ambushed by bandits on her way home to Yamatai. Just as it looks like she's going to be killed before her campaign can truly begin, a mysterious light shines down from above, an unknown man with golden eyes appears and saves Himiko. This man, declared to be a Servant of Heaven but whose name is actually Chihaya, actually has no memory of who he is, but he and Himiko pledge their loyalty to each other and, upon uniting Japan, he becomes the Supreme Commander of Himiko's army to aid her in her world conquest.
