Langit hanya seorang lelaki biasa yang dipecat karena memperjuangkan nasibnya sebagai guru swasta. Sudah jatuh tertimpa tangga--di tengah-tengah perjalanan pulang, ia mengalami kecelakaan tunggal yang meremukkan seluruh tulangnya. Saat ia berpikir bahwa dirinya sudah mati, ia justru mendapati dirinya terlahir kembali di dunia lain, di Valandria; sebuah dunia di mana fantasi adalah kenyataan yang dapat ditemukan di setiap sudutnya. Sayangnya, Langit tidak terlahir kembali di kalangan orang-orang berkuasa, tidak pula sebagai seorang terpilih dengan bakat luar biasa yang mampu menaklukkan segala tantangan. Ia bahkan tidak terlahir kembali sebagai makhluk hidup. Ya, dia terlahir kembali sebagai seorang undead (mayat hidup), tepatnya sebagai seorang skeleton (monster rangka); salah satu bagian dari makhluk kegelapan yang menjadi musuh bebuyutan umat manusia di Valandria. Eits, berita buruk belum selesai. Langit tersadar di sebuah katakomba di Kota Magna, sebuah kota mati yang terkutuk dan kini telah menjadi hunian mayat-mayat hidup, makhluk kegelapan, dan kutukan. Parahnya, makhluk-makhluk kegelapan di Kota Magna ingin menghabisinya karena sebuah alasan yang belum diketahui. Harapannya untuk menikmati petualangan seru dan menakjubkan di Valandria akhirnya harus ia sisihkan di sudut sampai ia berhasil keluar dari tempat tertukut itu. Untuk itu, tentu saja, ia harus menjadi lebih kuat untuk dapat mengalahkan musuh-musuh yang berdatangan tanpa henti. Selain itu, rintangan yang dihadapi Langit rupanya bukan hanya makhluk-makhluk kegelapan, tetapi juga misteri pekat yang menyelubungi Kota Magna itu sendiri. Setidaknya, Langit memiliki sebuah sistem pemandu yang dipanggilnya dengan sebutan Narator. Dengan bantuan Narator, Langit menapaki jalan menuju puncak evolusi meski hanya sejengkal demi sejengkal karena, yah, Narator ternyata bukan sistem yang sempurna… Di kehidupan kedua ini, Langit memutuskan untuk menanggalkan identitas lamanya. Langit yang dulu sudah mati, sekarang nama barunya adalah O. Ya, O. Hanya satu huruf, O. Sebuah huruf yang mirip dengan angka nol; sebuah filosofi bahwa ia akan mengulangi kehidupannya kembali dari titik nol.
