The story, which is to be made into an NDS game, centers around the adventures of a girl named Alison Whittington and an easygoing little boy named Whilhelm Schultz.

In a world where there was only one great continent, two states; the Federation of Roqshianuque and the Kingdom of Irtoa were at constant war with one another. Living in Roqshianuque was a student named Whilhelm and a soldier named Alison. One day, they meet an old man by chance who tells them, "There exists a treasure that will end the war." But before the old man could finish his story, he was kidnapped right before their eyes. Trusting what the old man had told them, together corporal Alison and Whilhelm travel in search of this treasure.

"Light Novels" is a term made by the Japanese to refer to books that is something that is in between a novel and a Japanese comic (i.e., Manga). Although the amount of text in a Light Novel is very similar to that of a full novel, these books also contain illustrations every few pages or so. There is some debate amongst the Japanese community about what defines a Light Novel although most such books are Anime themed. Examples include Slayers, Full Metal Panic and the recent Suzumiya Haruhi. Light Novels are popular amongst young people in Japan and are available in magazines as well as the traditional book.
