In the beginning, an "orb" is cast unto Earth. "It" can do two things: change into the form of the thing that stimulates "it" and come back to life after death. "It" morphs from orb to rock, then to wolf, and finally to boy, but roams about like a newbo who knows nothing. As a boy, "it" becomes Fushi. Through encounters with human kindness, Fushi not only gains survival skills but grows as a "person". But his jouey is darkened by the inexplicable and destructive enemy Nokker and cruel partings with the people he loves.
