Rudo lives in the slums of a floating town, where the poor scrape by under the shadow of the rich who live a sumptuous life, simply casting their garbage off the side, into the abyss. Then one day, he’s falsely accused of murder, and his wrongful conviction leads to an unimaginable punishment—exile off the edge, with the rest of the trash. Down on the surface, the cast-off waste of humanity has bred vicious monsters, and if Rudo wants to have any hope of discovering the truth and seeking vengeance against those who cast him into Hell, he will have to master a new power and join a group known as the Cleaners who battle the hulking trash beasts of the Pit!
After being falsely accused of murdering the man who raised him, Rudo was dropped into the Pit, where horrible monsters called trash beasts roam and the very air is toxic. But there are people known as Givers who have the power to defeat these beasts and Rudo is one of them. If Rudo wants to have any hope of discovering a way back to his home and finding the true killer, he must first navigate this new world. The first step is joining an organization of trash beast exterminators called the “Cleaners,” whose boss may have the information Rudo needs…
After arriving at The Cleaners’ HQ, hoping to find a way back to the Sphere, Rudo discovered that the person who may have the answers, their boss, is out of town. Hoping to be useful, he decided to help out on a job. But it turns out that using his newfound powers is harder than it looks! To make matters worse, there’s a dangerous group called “Raiders” who have their sights set on Rudo, and they’ll do anything to get their hands on him…
In the middle of the battle with the Raiders, Rudo finally awakened his abilities. He has the power to find the worth in objects and draw it out to its full potential! After driving back the Raiders, one of them revealed Rudo’s Instrument is actually part of a series, as well as the existence of a “border” connecting the Sphere and the ground. Now that Rudo has a clue to returning home, he sets out to solve this brand new mystery. But many dangers lie ahead…
Return to the Sphere and take revenge for Regto’s death—that’s what Rudo swore to do. After receiving an eyewitness report that people had been seeing coming and going from the Sphere to the ground, The Cleaners followed the rumor all the way to No Man’s Land to find the mysterious woman with the information Rudo needs. After fighting off numerous trash beasts, they’ve managed to find the woman, but then something goes horribly wrong, and Enjin seems to be out for the count…!
Faced with the mysterious woman of No Man’s Land, Amo, The Cleaners find themselves ensnared one after another by her strange power. Until Tamsy manages to turn the tables in one last attack by relying on the power of Remlin’s protection spell! After her defeat, Amo begins to tell them about her past, which just might reveal the information Rudo is so desperately searching for…
The threat of the Raiders has been ever looming, and now they’ve made their move. Rudo has been kidnapped! But he wasn’t alone, and each Cleaner who was also taken must first defeat the Raider sent to stop them if they want to have any hope of reuniting. Meanwhile, the Raiders’ boss has a tempting proposal for Rudo: Take down the Sphere…together!
