During the early 1920s on an alternate Earth, an Imperial Germany-esque power (known as the Empire) rules over a large portion of alternate Europe and possesses a high degree of industrial and military might, but is surrounded on all sides by many potential enemies and few allies. War eventually breaks out between the Empire and its enemies: the Francois Republic and the Legadonia Entente Alliance (analogous to real-world France and Sweden/Norway respectively). A young girl, Tanya Degurechaff, is recruited into the Empire's Mage Corps for the war effort. Unbeknownst to everyone but her, Tanya is actually a reincarnated Japanese salaryman, whose staunch atheism and refusal to acknowledge a powerful deity as 'God' in the moments before his death causes the deity to reincarnate him into a young girl in an alternate war-torn Europe as punishment.
