UQ Holder! is set in the same world as his previous work,
Negima! Magister Negi Magi, only the story occurs 70 years later. Tōta Konoe is the series protagonist, who suddenly finds himself turned into a vampire and swifly enrolled in the ranks of the immortal society known as UQ Holder. However, UQH is but one of three factions comprised of immortal beings, each with their own agenda that could alter the fate of the world.
