Detective prodigy Elucel Klein wasn't like any other detective; he was young, cunning, intelligent, and wise - gaining him a reputation no detective before him ever had.
Die-hard mystery fan Aurum Cinder has been waiting all her life for a mystery - one that would make her wrack her brain for answers, one that would put her mystery novel knowledge to the test.
Milirian Yard intern Wynstonne Yovelski is a skilled hacker with a goal to piss the hell out of a certain detective named Elucel.
Chief Inspector Callister Venere, a man known to have climbed up the rankings faster than anyone before him, has been looking for some thrill in his life full of bland, boring cases.
When a series of oddly executed murders - from victims being buried alive to a student hanging from a flagpole - rocks the school's foundation, the four - Elucel, Aurum, Wynstonne, and Callister - were bounded by fate to walk down the same path and solve the case and the reason to all the murders succeeding it.
