Our story unfolds beneath the surface of the great metropolis, below the Ogi-town district, in a realm of dreams floating in a haze of purple lignite smoke. A network of roads stretches underground, hiding bandits at every turn. An armored train winds its way through the impending darkness: the Sokore 463 steel-clad train is equipped with a 75mm mountain cannon that can blow a target to pieces. In command is the mysterious girl Tanne. What awaits her and her companions? From the winding alleys of Akegata (at dawn) to the deep underground world of Kuragari (in darkness), a daring adventure unfolds.
