Year 526 of the Liturgical Calendar. The world knew that witches existed, and that they practiced the notorious art of sorcery. Nevertheless, the world did not know anything about the study of magic. The story follows a half-man, half-beast mercenary; humans mockingly call his kind the "fallen beasts". He always dreamt of becoming a human, but one day, he met a witch who would change his life forever. "Do you desire a human form? Then be my escort, mercenary!" The witch introduced herself as "Zero", and explained that she was searching for a one-of-a-kind magical tome that bandits had stolen from her lair. Entitled "The Book of Zero", the grimoire supposedly contained valuable magical knowledge that could be used to effortlessly bring the world to its knees. Thus, in order to realize his dream of becoming a human, the mercenary must accompany Zero on her journey despite her being one of the witches he so loathed.

One who ate the souls of humans and loved "riddles". He would ask anyone who crossed his path sadistic "questions", and if they returned a "stupid answer", they would have their souls eaten without a moment's delay. On the other hand, if they answered with "wit", the spirit would grant a single wish, regardless of what it was. There was a bald, witty genius of a boy who responded magnificently to the spirit's "question". His wish was for the spirit to possess him for the rest of his life!

But then he causes Shishimoto to lose a lot of work by pulling the computer plug at an inopportune time to save electricity (quibble: the mangaka doesn't understand computers). Shishimoto has to call in his female friend Mika to help, which pushes Tomosaka into confessing his love for Shishimoto. But Shishimoto doesn't react well to his confession.
