Raised as a slave, Puflet treasures freedom more than anything else.
With the help of a monstrous entity that infiltrates her mind during the struggle, Puflet fights her way to freedom and travels to the Mindsea Academy of Ulona, a glittering citadel of the empire's most reality-penetrating studies.

Instead, she is met by enemies and fresh threats to her
freedom. She must fight these threats, though she suspects that love, and not battle, is the one thing that will tame her monster.

Mana has led a happy and quiet life caring for the empire's legendary Torsa horses, but the sudden, tragic death of the empress brings an end to her carefree existence.
The glowworm plague and the razing of the capital are only the forerunners of a long-foreseen disaster that threatens the very existence of the empire. The eyes of the galaxy are fixed on the racetrack, where the next emperor or empress will be chosen through a series of dangerous multiverse horse races, and Mana suddenly finds herself elevated from obscurity as the newsers' hyped-up "Chosen One," the one who can avert catastrophe.
It's all just a misunderstanding, of course. There's no way an ordinary person like Mana can prevail against cruel and violent mindseas who will stop at nothing to reach the throne. But she has to try.
Time period: Hundred Seventh Millennium.
