There are ten episodes in total, as well as a behind-the-scenes special.
The city of Vulture was built on the imagination of its residents, but the rise of strange monsters known as Pallids had forced everyone to move into the inner part of the city, and struggle daily against the growing threat. The reclusive Chadam, who somehow didn't know what was going on, gets pressured by his friend Sandy into using his innate magical ability to save the day.

* {{Flashback}}:

** Viceroy's backstory is told in the same style and, in-universe, exists as a story he wrote in his journal.

** A Pallid manages to kill someone by ripping their head off- with their bare hands, no less.
** Simkin kills a Pallid by chopping off their head, when he and Chadam go to save Palco.

* StrappedToAnOperatingTable:
** A unknown woman wakes up in episode 1, strapped down to an operating table, seeing nothing but the bright lights above her head before her captor suddenly appears and clamps his hand over her mouth...
** The same thing happens to an innocent artist later, who gets captured by Viceroy and then wakes up in the same operating room.
