Publish Date: December 19th
In a world where mankind battles over O-Parts and relics from an ancient civilization can either be used for good or evil, Ruby Crescent is determined to follow her father’s footsteps and become the next renowned treasure hunter. Her objective is to uncover these magical items which can only be unlocked by O.P.T.s (O-Part Tacticians) and grant them superhuman powers. The manga starts off on one of her excursions where she meets a mysterious young boy name Jio. Due to his tragic past, the only thing he trusts most is money. With some hesitation, he eventually agrees to become Ruby’s bodyguard in hopes of earning enough money to conquer the world. In this first volume, Jio discovers that he is an O.P.T. who possesses a hidden power of unconsciously awakening a sleeping demon within him. Together, Ruby and Jio continue to embark on their journey in finding O-Parts and help each other unravel the past.
