Inhuman monsters called the Dark Ones terrorize the Asgard Empire. The citizens only enjoy some semblance of a normal life thanks to the efforts of the mercenary guild, a band of skillful fighters dedicated to destroying the monsters. Recently, Leroy Schwartz, one of the guild’s top-ranked members, left the organization abruptly to fight alone. But he’s not really alone—his sentient sword Ragnarok is there to lend support and share advice. They travel the country destroying even the most powerful Dark Ones, but Leroy’s skills seem to be attracting some unwanted attention.
