Story Prologue
Casnan, a city on the Romun frontier, is in the midst of a gold rush. Among the miners and workers, a red-haired young man wanders through the crowd. He accidentally bumps into a rowdy miner, who picks a fight and strikes him hard.
“What is this place?… Who am I…?”
Just after the young man mutters this, someone suddenly calls out…
“Hey, Adol! Is that you?”
The person calling out was a tall, muscular man with silver hair. Naturally, the young man did not recognize him. Despite his appearance, the man was surprisingly familiar and overly friendly, introducing himself as Duren, an informant.
According to Duren, the young man’s name is Adol Christin. A few weeks earlier, Adol had met Duren in the city, then traveled to the Great Forest of Celceta, a place that even the locals rarely enter, and since then, his whereabouts had been unknown.
What happened to Adol in the Great Forest of Celceta, also known as the devil’s domain? Why did he lose all his memories?
To uncover the truth, Adol decides to once again venture into the forbidden land of the Great Forest of Celceta, this time with Duren…
