In the Imaginary Worlds, Edgar Kaos, finds himself without any memories of his past among unusual beings who, unlike himself who is a human, can use magic. This is Incrematera. Edgar discovers that a war is raging on between the creatures of magic and the desoulers who are forcibly separating the souls of magic beings from their bodies. Being human, Edgar does not possess a magic soul and is the only one who cannot be desouled. The creatures of Incrematera despise him for this difference but also expect that, due to his immunity and with the assistance of the young dragon Night Mær, he will help end the war. On the military base where he is being prepared for the task, Edgar befriends the elfin heiress Floria, the wizard Quint, and the mysterious Arabella. He soon discovers that there is a conspiracy brewing against him and that all the friendships he has made during his stay on the military base are most probably illusory. With his only ally and Night Mær the dragon, he begins planning a perilous escape from the base and during his long struggle for survival develops the ability to use dangerous black magic. His escape triggers the abduction of Arabella and inadvertent murders caused by the black magic he is unable to fully control. With the help of Floria and Quint, who follow him to prevent him from handing himself over to the desoulers in exchange for Arabella’s life, Edgar and Arabella survive the dangerous encounter. They even manage to destroy one of the desoulers but the question still hanging in the air is who are Edgar’s true allies and whether Edgar even wants to help Incrematera…
