The adventure you imagined comes to life again

A fantasy world that everyone imagined, longed for and felt excited about in childhood.

The Arisen’s adventure: a destiny to defeat the dragon

The protagonist lives in the peaceful fishing village of Cassardis. One day, a dragon suddenly attacks and shatters its tranquillity.

The dragon takes the protagonist’s heart. Instead of dying, the protagonist returns to life as a special being called the Arisen.

Why did the dragon choose you? To solve that mystery, you set out on a journey to defeat the immensely powerful creature.

What truth will be revealed through the memories of the Arisen gradually engraved in the epitaph?

Another story unfolds in an uncharted land with a vast underground world.
