Story

"Oh, Cursed Saintess, will your soul find the light, or will you forever be lost in the darkness?"

A terrible curse blankets the kingdom in shadows, thrusting it into utter despair and erasing all light. One day, a maiden appears from the north and chases away the darkness, reintroducing light across the land. However, after taking in all the shadows, the maiden is consumed by evil, allowing it to flood out of her body. In a final attempt to seal that which escaped, the maiden locks herself away.

The king, driven by fear, demands the death of the maiden to save his kingdom. Many warriors journey forth in an attempt to slay the maiden, but the darkness curses all who dare to encroach, creating an even greater evil that consumes the kingdom. Take up arms as the next brave warrior to save the land and expel the shadows!
