Rukash Brakruma is a member of the Krumact, a race of people who make their home in the trees of the jungle and wield magic that no one else can. Few leave their jungle, but Rukash travels far and wide. He journeys to the kingdom of Oridar, where the king has called a tournament to determine the next Karraria Sur'mant, the greatest warrior in the land.

When a mysterious fighter enters the tournament, he seems impossible to kill. As Rukash realizes the origin of the warrior's abilities, he knows the whole world is at risk.

King Gallian enlists the daughter of a nobleman to assist him in using the mysterious fighter as a weapon against his enemies. But Rukash knows only the Krumact can destroy the fighter without causing the deaths of millions.
