For nearly a millennium, a magical barrier imposed by demons has prevented people from reaching the outside world. With this barrier now broken, various kingdoms are seeking to explore the lands that were previously inaccessible. To facilitate this, a peace delegation has been established to make contact with the inhabitants of the newly reachable realm. During this time, the young sorceress Lina Inverse, whose life is centered around food, treasure, and fighting, receives a message from a mysterious woman named Filia ul Copt. Filia expresses interest in hiring Lina and her companions for a specific task that will lead them to the outside realm. Before hiring them, Filia tests the group's capabilities by pitting them against a dragon in the middle of a city. Once they have proven their strength, the sorceress and her fellow adventurers depart for the unexplored lands. As they embark on this journey into the unknown, they face the prospect of many adventures and a worrying prophecy that awaits them in the lands beyond
