Takakura Yuzo, who ended his life due to a heart attack on his way to work, is reborn in a different world as the third son of a farming family. Given the name Worm, he leads a peaceful life until his homeland, which is in constant conflict with neighboring countries, begins to recruit soldiers. Worm, like many others, is not exempt from this call to arms. His life, now valued at a price, is bought by the state, and he is sent to the front lines. The unreasonable deaths that come to all, the plunder and rape amidst joy and screams, the stench of death that clouds his vision, and the madness of the battlefield that taints him—Worm begins to awaken a talent for combat that he never knew he had. As his spirit wears thin and his morals and conscience become mere dregs, he dilutes them with a bit of hypocrisy, masking his pain with alcohol and cigarettes. As the war nears its end, the Haiselk Empire, his homeland, is about to be shaken by a major upheaval.
