In the apparent distant past, a young girl named Vueko escapes her abusive guardian and joins an expedition of pilgrims called the Ganja led by Wazukyan and Belaf to search for the mythical Golden City at the bottom of the Abyss. Using a special compass Vueko possesses, the Ganja are able to find the island the Abyss is located on despite all but one of their ships being lost in a storm. After negotiating with a native tribe where Vueko reluctantly trades her compass for information, the Ganja continue on their journey, though they encounter a native girl exiled from the tribe for being infertile. Vueko takes pity on the girl and Wazukyan agrees to allow her to accompany them as their guide. The Ganja delve deeper into the Abyss, learning about the Curse and fighting their way past many monsters until they reach a transport pod at the Ido Front in the fifth layer, which allows them to proceed onwards to the sixth layer. In the present[d], Riko, Reg, and Nanachi activate the transport pod with Riko's newly acquired White Whistle and it transports them down through the Sea of Corpses, an underground ocean filled with the bones and corpses of deceased wildlife. Due to the length of the trip and the uncertainty of the sixth layer, Reg recommends that Riko relieve herself inside the relative safety of the pod. Afterwards, the pod reaches its destination, and the trio exit and take their first steps into the sixth layer, the Capital of the Unreturned. (Sorce: Wikipedia)
