The development of spirit-contracting magic ten years ago granted mages immense power.

Consequently, the disparity in combat power between mages and swordsmen became overwhelming.

This led to Glen, a Sword Saint who had mastered the blade at a young age, losing his livelihood.

Living away from battle and barely scraping by with day labor, Glen witnesses an ugly lizard being bullied by a mage.

Pitying the creature, Glen comes to its rescue.

However, this lizard, though cursed, was actually a hatchling of the highest-ranking spirit species: a "Sacred Dragon."

This is the tale of Sword Saint Glen, set in an age dominated by mages, who would later be known as "The Guardian of Spirits."
