In the world of Heavy Object, the United Nations has collapsed, leaving the world divided between four powers - the Legitimacy Kingdom, the Information Alliance, the Capitalist Corporations and the Faith Organization. Following the development of Objects, armored fighting machines possessing vastly superior capabilities to conventional units and weapons, war has developed into a bloodless game determined by battles between Objects.

As their friendship develops, Quenser discovers that the real face of war is merely hiding behind the mask of bloodless defeat and victory...
