After an existence filled with monotony, Will is born anew into a world unlike any he has ever known. In this new reality, he opens his eyes to the faces of a skeleton, a ghost, and a mummy - the only company in a city which has long since fallen to ruin. Together, they raise Will as if he were family, teaching him the arts of combat, sorcery, loyalty to one's chosen deity, and, above all, the virtue of love. As he grows older and begins to explore this strange, new world, Will realizes that there is a lifelong vow he must undertake, a rite of passage that every individual must go through. By dedicating themselves wholly to a chosen deity, they receive their blessings in return - the strength of which depends entirely on the depth of loyalty. But before he can embark on this journey, Will must come to terms with the fact that his guardians are not of the same world as he is. And so, he sets forth into unknown territory, realizing that every vow must ultimately be fulfilled - regardless of the circumstances.
