Profile Picture

Corinth, a newly appointed Sage Knight from Terranset (the land of mythical creatures) is sent as a mercenary to investigate blocked roads. But it’s not that simple. After a few turns of events, Corinth (along with fellow mercenaries Aventis and Nadine) play into the hands of a very powerful necromancer. Instead of killing Corinth and his friends, the necromancer sends them on a quest to find a magical book. Rieka (the necromancer’s daughter) is sent with them as a “precaution” but turns into a helpful hand, at times even helping them.
