Animation was handled by Production IG, and the director was Shunsuke Tada. This work follows the worldview of the game, but the anime has its own unique story development.

■ Story

In a world surrounded by a sandy ocean known as the Sand Sea, a continent floats with each season, and a race known as beastmen rules over humans. In such a world, a young man named Kyrie, who works at a diner in a small port town, has been drifting through life. One day, a girl named Morte appears in his town. She is a member of the "World Eradication Committee" and has the "Destruct Code", a hidden treasure that has the power to destroy the world. After Kyrie and Morte meet, the hero Toppy joins them, and the three set out on a journey to eradicate the world. Various characters appear, including Naja and Li-A of the "World Salvation Committee" who are pursuing them, and Agan the courier, and the story depicts the future of a world where the two races coexist.

■ Characters

The protagonist, Kyrie Ilnis, is a good-natured young man who works as a chef and has been living life as it comes. The heroine, Morte Urshela, is proactive and bold, and has obtained a treasure that can reset the world, and is on a journey to find a way to activate it. Toppy Toplan, a member of the Hero's Guild, is a character with a hard-boiled personality and cute appearance that creates a stark contrast.
