Brandy Shin, a book-loving teenager, finds herself halfway around the world from her home, sent by her parents to attend a private high school in a large city. Her small studio apartment, filled with her treasured books, becomes a sanctuary where she escapes into stories. One night, after over-reading past midnight, she is jolted awake by a system message from an AI named Steve, announcing the transformation of her world. Mana seeds, scattered five years ago, have converted Earth into a magical realm to combat a cosmic virus. Brandy learns that she is one of the few who survived the initial transformation, aided by a personal AI named Tara, who manifests in her stuffed rabbit.
