* Chapter 0 opens with Noël in his house, doing his daily chores. Ever since he lost a certain someone who was very special to him, he has lived alone in his house in the woods, with only dolls and pumpkins for company. That changes one night when he meets a strange and perky girl by the name of Annabelle Vamir, who wants to be his friend for some reason.
* Chapter 1 picks up after that, with Noël finally having left his house and off to the AfterlifeExpress to meet Annabelle and her family in person. He meets her brother, Azelle Vamir- who is every bit as quirky as her- and Rue Dietrich, a deceased hunter who is now living with them. Noël decides to stay with them and become part of the family. But that night, he, Annabelle, and Rue are dragged into a mirror by a mysterious enemy, and Noël soon realizes there was more to the death of his certain someone than he thought.
* Chapter 2 is a prequel following Noël, here a self-proclaimed exorcist, on his search throughout the country for his parents. At the height of the Witch Hunts, Noël ends up in a town that is overzealous about [[BurnTheWitch executing suspected witches]]. On his visit, he has a strange encounter with a spirit of an executed witch who begs for his help, and soon he finds himself suspected of witchcraft.
