"On that day, the witch died."
Due to the Ultra-Industrial Revolution, witches—who were once sent by God and relied upon by humans—became unnecessary. To eliminate the unscientific power of magic, humanity began a witch hunt.
The protagonist of this work. He is human. He can use magic more skillfully than a witch and possesses outstanding physical abilities. While he has a cold and cruel personality, he was quite gentle as a child. Even now, glimpses of his kind nature appear. However, after the death of Chloe, the witch who raised him like a mother, he turns the whole world into his enemy. He has no interest in anything other than revenge. Later in the story, he had one chance to revive Chloe. She was the strongest witch, and because the other witches wanted her knowledge to learn how to teach magic to humans, Adonis believed she would only be exploited. Consequently, he chooses to save Doroka, who freed him early on, instead of Chloe. As he travels with Doroka, he tries to push her away due to their opposite natures, yet he finds himself influenced by her warm and kind heart. When Doroka is injured, he suffers from immense guilt and shows an almost obsessive attachment, even transplanting his own eye to her.
The heroine and female protagonist. Although a witch, she is unskilled and cannot handle magic well. She attempts to stop and reform Adonis, who is consumed by revenge. She tells Adonis, who claims he has nothing left to lose, that it isn't true. Having lost all her own kind, she tries her best to ensure Adonis doesn't die. However, the hardships she faces while traveling with him are no joke. Her magic is 'Love,' which allows her to easily make humans obey her; it isn't just unconditional brainwashing, but makes the target feel love for her. Because of this, it is a powerful ability with a devastating match-up against humans, but it is useless against witches. As a result, she was treated as powerless and ostracized by other witches. It is later revealed that she can also heal or buff the targets of her magic, making her a powerful supporter. The witches underestimated Doroka's ability; considering that humans once nearly wiped out witches by using similar love magic to manipulate people, the witches failed to realize the value of a prime tool for dealing with humanity.
The "Ice Witch" who took in the abandoned Adonis and raised him as her apprentice. Exceptionally bright and considerate, she is referred to by Doroka as the "most wonderful witch in the world."
Full name Goethe von Redia. The 23rd Emperor of the Redia Empire. Driven by a philosophy of humanism and the glorification of humanity, he poured all the nation's resources into scientific development. As a result, he succeeded in developing various super-technologies, including tech that could seal the magic of witches. Using this technology, he established a national motto that the world could no longer be left to the unknown realms of witches and magic, and that humanity must take control. He began a brutal massacre of the witches they had once coexisted with. Finally, he brought the witch hunt to a close by brutally executing Chloe in front of Adonis as she tried to protect him.
Witches: beings who once brought wisdom and peace to humanity.
However, the Gear Expansion of the Redia Empire gave birth to a scientific civilization that surpassed magic, and witches were deemed enemies hindering progress.
Thus, the 'Witch Hunt' began. Adonis, a human raised by the witch Chloe, lost his beloved mentor and swore revenge against his own kind.
