In a fantasy world where numbers on your body tells your worth starts the story of a girl , named Hina , whose life long mission is to find a legendary ace of great White war as the last dying wish of her mother.

The “count” as the numbers are called in this world are magically engraved on a person body that increases whenever they do a predetermined action–or decreases when they do that action’s antithesis. Should a person’s count hit zero, shadowy hands emerge from the ground and drag that person down into “The Abyss”.

Episode one started with Hina’s mother falling into Abyss and telling her to find legendary ace. So she travelled alone throughout the world for five years looking for the ace when she reached a town with stories of the ace. Instead of ace she met a perverted man , Licht who just want to have a look under her panties. Call it fan service or the need of plot but everything is over sexualised as we progress throughout the episode.

Moreover, if one person has a higher number than another, the person with the smaller number must obey the orders of the one with the larger number. Though, as Hina discovers when hassled by the local military sergeant seeking to take advantage of her naivety, there is one exception to this rule. If you wish to reject an order, you can gamble your count in a winner-take-all (minus one) fight–though this is something supposedly reserved for military members alone.

Hina lost her count to one when beaten to pulp by the sergeant. Licht came to help her revealed his true self as the protagonist of the story and being the ace she longed to find for so long. In the first episode, we see him as nothing but a weak pervert. In the second, we see him as a legendary fighter with a strong sense of justice–and one not afraid to play the bad guy to save the innocent from dangers unseen.

Oddly , Licht revealed his number to be negative 999 which seemed impossible since you get sent to abyss after reaching zero. It revealed there was a back door to dodge this with it being called- A ballot. Possession of a ballot is illegal in this world so no wonder not everyone have it or can use it.

The first two episode were about world building and character building. Hina being show weak and innocent girl with a strong will and Licht being shown as pervert hiding his true self as that of ace with strong sense of justice and immense power. It had some pretty good and funny scene and alot more to reveal as it progress.

The world as shown with flashback of the great white war makes it look like the medieval time but it the use of radio by a character reveals there is much more going on then it seems and there is alot more room to add more things.
